Bond's Quantum of Solace Opens Today
Daniel Craig brings his critically acclaimed performance of James Bond back to the silver screen today with the official UK opening of the new film Quantum of Solace. So, why not escape the crowds and see where the legend of Bond first began?
Leicester Square was certainly a buzzing hive of excited movie-goers last Wednesday, when hundreds of Bond fans thronged the streets to catch a glimpse of the dashing Daniel Craig in the flesh. However, those really interested in Britain's most famous spy might want to consider swapping the lights of the Empire Cinema for the delights of the Imperial War Museum. Running until March next year, Show and Stay® are happy to announce that you can add the stunning Ian Flemming exhibition For Your Eyes Only as an attraction to your outstanding West End theatre break package.
See how the world's favourite MI6 agent was created in the mind of one of Britain's greatest thriller writers. Ian Flemming devised the charismatic spy after he served in the Naval Intelligence Division of the British Armed Forces during World War Two, and his heroic character certainly optimises good old-fashioned grit and determination.
Full of memorabilia from Flemming's house in Jamaica and from some of the most famous Bond films, this exhibition tries to offer a clear insight into the lives of real men and women spies that work for Her Majesty and the fiery fictional accounts from writers like Flemming.
A must for anyone interested in James Bond or the real workings of the Secret Sevices, the For Your Eyes Only exhibition is perfect for those who love the films and want to find out the truth behind the sensation.
