    Only a couple for me, The door to the station for lost agents
    and the entrance to Westminster tube station. I have been
    Swimming off the coast of Portugal ( not the same beach as Bond
    But it's the same ocean, so close enough for me ).
    I've Been on the Thames in a Boat ( full of tourists ) although in my
    Mind it was the "Q" boat. :))
    It was funny on my trip to London, I dragged the wife to all the places
    I knew from " Spooks" etc. :)) She gave me some odd looks, given some
    Of the things I was photographing.

    DAF:
    New York - Walked by 21 Club, had dinner at Sardis.
    Las Vegas - I've stayed at the Circus Circus :))

    YOLT - Himeji Castle.
    I missed going to the New Otani Hotel during my last trip to Tokyo, but it was only a 17 hour layover and I had accidentally spent too much time at Disney Sea 8-)

    Next time I'm visiting my folks for an extended period in San Francisco, I hope to visit the Dunsmuir-Hellman Historic Estate and the Lefty O'Doul Drawbridge from AVTAK.

    I've seen most of the New York locations from LALD. I work a few blocks from where the New York Filet of Soul restaurant in LALD was, but the building was torn down decades ago. I've driven down the FDR Drive where Bond's drive was killed. I never went to the "Worldport" airport terminal at JFK Airport where Bond arrives in New York, though I drove past it many times. Sadly it was demolished two years ago, but it was supposedly a terrible terminal anyway.

    I've visited the outsides of many of the London locations, like the Old War Office and the SIS Building.

    Though not featured in the films, I've visited the bespoke shops of Turnbull & Asser and Frank Foster, where a number of Bond actors visited to have shirts made. I used the services of the latter. I also went to Doug Hayward's shop, where Roger Moore had his later Bond suits made.

    Here's my list:

    * Piz Gloria/Bond World last October in Switzerland. (Stayed in Interlaken for that part of the journey)

    *London: Die Another Day door by the bridge, lamp-post for Lazenby promo shot, MI6 headquarters,
    Thames river, Sotheby's Auction and Bond in Motion exhibit.

    *Jokulsarlon Glacial Lagoon in Iceland for A View to a Kill pre-title sequence. (and D.A.D too I suppose ;) )

    *San Francisco: Fisherman's Warf, City Hall, Golden Gate Bridge … I enjoyed some quiche as well.

    *Berlin - Bombed out church and Checkpoint Charlie.

    and then some more general visits to Las Vegas, NYC/ Harlem, Paris, and Hamburg.

    I feel like Piz Gloria is the best place to visit because it's also devoted to 007, whereas some other locations have no mention of Bond whatsoever.
    My current 10 favorite:

    1. GE 2. MR 3. OP 4. TMWTGG 5. TSWLM 6. TND 7. TWINE 8.DN 9. GF 10. AVTAK

    Dear spoff,

    What was hemeji castle like. It looks gorgeous.

    Fantastic! it is absolutely stunning. It is extremely well preserved and the inside is just as gorgeous as the outside.

    It's bloody huge as well! you don't realise the scale until you are actually there. When you exit the train station at Himeji town, there is a straight avenue that runs right to the castle at the end, it is a very impressive first sight.

    I also visited Matsumoto castle, which is smaller, but just as wonderful.

    All of Japan is just mesmerising, I spent three weeks touring around and it was the best holiday I have ever had -{

    I would very much recommend a visit :)

    Here is an image of Himeji that I took from the approaching road, imagine trying to storm that?.
