In “The Living Daylights” James Bond (Timothy Dalton) helped KGB General Georgi Koskov (Jeroen Krabbé) to escape from Bratislava, Czechoslovakia. Koskov was smuggled in pipeline across the border to Austria and then taken to UK by military aircraft. After completing the mission Bond returned to MI6 headquarters in London, UK.
In a short establishing shot the entrance to the laboratory of Q was shown. It was Malaysia House at Trafalgar Square in London, UK. There was a sign above the entrance saying “Universal Exports LTD”.

Currently in Malaysia House there is a Malaysia Tourism Promotion Board. Prior to that the Malaysian High Commission was located in the building.
Dr. Madeleine Swann (Léa Seydoux) crossed the street on the way to her office. She climbed the stairs and entered the room. An unexpected patient was waiting there. It was Lyutsifer Safin (Rami Malek).
The scene with Madeleine Swann crossing the street was filmed at the Mall in London at the end of June 2019.

{10-11} Carlton House Terrace was used as filming location not only for ‘No Time to Die’, but also for: ‘Bridget Jones Diary’, Netflix’s ‘The Crown’, BBC’s ‘Sherlock Holmes, ‘Cruella’ and few others. You can rent it i.e. for wedding or conference and walk up the staircase like Dr. Madeleine Swann. Her office was filmed on the 2nd floor in a room that is not available for public use.
In ‘No Time to Die’ James Bond (Daniel Craig) lost his friend Felix Leiter from CIA (Jeffrey Wright) in a sinking ship but he managed to save himself and return to England. He directed his first steps to his garage where, among the gadgets known from other films, there was Aston Martin V8 Vantage. Bond uncovered the car and drove to the MI6 headquarters (read more in ‘No Time to Die’ at Whitehall Ct in London).
The scene with James Bond leaving the garage was filmed in tunnels under the railroad tracks at Centaur Street in London, UK.
– Entrance to the tunnel with garages from Centaur Street.
Garages are located on one side of the tunnel only. On the other side there is a wall with an opening below the ceiling. There is a Park Plaza London Waterloo hotel right behind it. Most of the garages have been converted into shops so it is pretty easy to find the one that belonged to James Bond.
– Tunnel with garages and shops on the right and a view at Park Plaza London Waterloo hotel on the left.
Bond left the garage that you can see in the next picture.

He made a 180 degrees turn and left the tunnel driving towards Centaur Street at the intersection with Carlisle Ln.
– Exit from the tunnel with garages to Centaur Street on the left, exit to Centaur Street at the intersection with Carlisle Ln on the right and Bond’s garage behind the wall.
As you may notice while looking at the picture above, he had to turn left while in the film he turned right. The sequence was mirrored after filming.

In ‘Spectre’ we get to take a look at James Bond’s apartment. He (Daniel Craig) was standing at the window wearing dressing gown while waiting for Monneypenny (Naomie Harris). She brought him a box with personal things recovered from Skyfall. After the meeting in the apartment Moneypenny walked down the street into the darkness of the night.
– 1 Stanley Gardens, Notting Hill, London, UK
The exterior of the house was filmed at 1 Stanley Gardens in Notting Hill in London.

The entrance to the building is located at Stanley Cres.
The exterior of the townhouse was filmed on December 15th 2014 in the evening. It was a week after principal photography began. Interior of the apartment was filmed at Pinewood Studios.

At the beginning of ‘No Time to Die’ Madeleine Swann (Lea Seydoux) had flashback of her mother’s death while swimming in the sea in Italy. After that she and James Bond (Daniel Craig) in Aston Martin DB5 took the scenic road at the sea. After a few corners they entered the tunnel that led to Matera.
Road SS18 Tirrena Inferiore along the coast by the Tyrrhenian Sea.
The sequence with Aston Martin DB5 was filmed from a helicopter in the south of Italy on road SS18 Tirrena Inferiore between Sapri and Acquafredda. It began near Canale di Mezzanotte on the border between Campania and Basilicata. It ended a few corners later below the tower called Torre dei Crivi. In the film Matera was right after the tunnel. In reality it would have to be 200 km long! Matera is located on the eastern side of the Apennine peninsula, about 60 km from the Adriatic Sea. The SS18 Tirrena Inferiore road runs along the Tyrrhenian Sea, on the opposite side of the peninsula. Filmmakers wanted to film the seqence in in the setting sun therefore, they sought a suitable route on the western side of the peninsula.
Road SS18 Tirrena Inferiore along the coast by the Tyrrhenian Sea. Part of the road where the scene with Aston Martin DB5 at the beginning of the film and Aston Martin V8 Vantage at the very end of ‘No Time to Die’ were filmed.Tower Torre dei Crivi (top of the frame) above the road SS18 Tirrena Inferiore.
The tunnel they entered was not real. CGI was used to create it. In the film you can see the wall of the tunnel covering third arch of the bridge (photo below) and part of the road on the right.
There is real tunnel around the next corner but it is very short and there is no Matera behind it as you can see below.
Road SS18 Tirrena Inferiore.
The same location was used to film the very last scene with Madeleine Swann driving Aston Martin V8 Vantage.
After killing Marco Sciarra in Mexico James Bond (Daniel Craig) arrived to Rome to attend his funeral. From a distance, he was watching the mourners leaving the chapel. In the next scene he was watching them standing at the Sciarra’s grave. After the ceremony he approached the widow Lucia Sciarra (Monica Bellucci) and began a conversation that was interrupted by her bodyguard.
The entire funeral sequence was filmed in the second half of February 2015 at the Museum of the Roman Civilization (Museo della Civiltà Romana) in Rome, Italy. It is located in the south of the city away from the main tourist attractions. Motorsport fans may be interested in the fact that Formula E street circuit is located very close to the museum.
The complex is made up of two buildings with a long portico of travertine columns. Standing on Via dell’Architettura you will see the building with the main entrance to the museum on the left, the building with the Planetario on the right and the portico with „MUSEO DELLA CIVILTA ROMANA” sign on top in front of you.
