Whether you are a Bond fan or not, you’d probably agree the locations they pick to film the movies are often a huge part of their appeal.
The Times has asked two authors o pick their favorite Bond locations. Here they are.
Gareth Scurlock’s top five locations:
-
Jamaica: Dr No
-
Luxor, Egypt: The Spy Who Loved Me
-
New Orleans, USA: Live & Let Die
-
Belgrade and Zagreb, Yugoslavia: From Russia With Love
- Outer space: Moonraker
Ginny McGrath’s top five locations:
-
London, England: The World is Not Enough
-
Cadiz, Spain: Die Another Day
-
Monte Carlo, Monaco: Goldeneye
-
Phuket, Thailand: The Man with the Golden Gun
-
Udaipur, India: Octopussy
I think I would have to go with Monaco myself. Bond and the Mediterranean simply shake well.
