About this experience
Step into the world of James Bond with a behind-the-scenes look at one of the most successful movie franchises ever. No Bond experience is complete without a visit to "Q," target shooting practice at a London gun club, and a sample of James Bond's signature scent. You will also delve into the exclusive districts of the city, where Bond's adventures take place. Finally, unwind with a Vesper Martini at the House of Spies as you learn the real stories behind the world of 007.

Receive a sample of Floris 89, the fragrance Ian Fleming specified for Bond, blended by the royal perfumers who have served the Crown for centuries.

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between the Shooting Experience and the Speedboat Experience?
Both options follow the same full-day itinerary — breakfast, Mayfair tour, lunch, and the Vesper Martini finale. The difference is the centrepiece activity: the Shooting Experience includes a 300-round session at a London gun club with a wide range of firearms, while the Speedboat Experience replaces that with a ride along the Thames past Bond film locations.
Can children join the experience?
No. Participants must be 12 years of age or older. This applies to both the Shooting and Speedboat options.
Do I need to print my ticket, or is a mobile ticket accepted?
A mobile ticket shown on your phone is accepted. You do not need to print anything, though having a printed copy as a backup is always sensible.
Is prior shooting experience required for the Shooting Experience?
No prior experience is needed. The activity takes place at a supervised London gun club where safety briefings and instruction are provided.
Are non-alcoholic drink options available?
Yes. At House of Spies you can request a non-alcoholic alternative to the Vesper Martini. Soft drinks are also available at the breakfast briefing.
Where does the day end, and roughly how long does it last?
The experience concludes at House of Spies. The exact finish time and total duration are confirmed in your booking details — check your confirmation for the specific schedule for your chosen date.
