I never got around to sharing photos I took when I was at the MI6 HQ over at Vauxhall whilst vacationing in London last January with my wife. Well, with Spectre coming up, I thought its about time I share the photos I took at MI6. Its definitely the one place in London many Bond fans would go to when they are there! A very impressive looking building that looks like a fortress. And nice to see M's office is still standing strong... Try harder Silva

LOL.. I was actually trying to be discreet when taking photos there. Then again, I've got nothing to hide.. I will happily take pics over there again if I come back.
Don't have to hand over memory cards or equipment etc, infact you don't
Even have to show your photos to a police officer ( on the camera screen)
These are your rights as a British Citizen.
Although, If I was asked I'd show him/ her all my photos on the camera, as
I don't want to spend a night in the cells, getting a body cavity search. )
( well, not without dinner and dancing first !)
Given to all freelance and press photographers and videographers. Infact there
Are a few YouTube videos showing them out on the streets confronting both police
And private security, to point out. That we're not living in a police state ( give it time)
Surprisingly many police don't seem to understand many of the freedoms people
Have, they're just not used to being pulled on them.
Show my photos to them. In fact I'd be looking for their views on my composition
use of light and if I'd applied the rule of thirds in an artistic and pleasing way.
While Mr sneaky terrorist bloke with a hidden camera in his sun glasses, directly
Uploads his images to a cloud based library, for immediate private or public viewing.
Please don't feel, I'm in any way arguing with you Stag, I accept all that you say.
You are much more knowledgeable than I on these matters, but technology moves
on so while PC plod stops some tourist who wants to get up on the same lamppost
Lazenby did. Old Johnny terrorist, is happily wandering around capturing everthing.
During the many wars with the French, I wonder did we stop any artists from painting
or sketching. The Palace of Westminster, or 10 Downing street ? )
So yes, I'd go ahead and take the photos, I'm sure they're used to Bond Nuts, wandering
around. )
