Ian Fleming's life was, in many aspects, identical to that of his creation, James Bond 007. They smoked the same cigarettes, drank the same cocktails, and went to the same luxury London restaurants. Many of the London spy locations that Fleming knew exist today, and with this guide, you can visit his tailor, drink at his favourite bar, buy his preferred aftershave, even loiter outside his flat.

Through this illustrated, fold-out London travel guide, we tour some of London's wealthiest neighbourhoods, places that would be immediately recognisable to Fleming 60 years after his death in 1964. And Ian Fleming's London brings to vivid life the secret agent 007, whose habits and preferences so mirror that of his creator, offering a unique literary tourism experience.

The guide comes with a bow tie-shaped card on the back of which is a recipe for a Vesper cocktail.

This is the third in our collection of spy novel location guides, following on from John le Carré's London and Lamb's London – which explores the city as it appears in Mick Herron's Slough House novels. Perfect for James Bond fans and espionage literature enthusiasts alike, this guide offers a glimpse into the real-world inspirations behind the world's most famous fictional spy.

An additional limited-edition postcard is available only through Herb Lester! Order using the drop-down menu.
