James Bond  (Daniel Craig) killed Mollaka (Sebastien Foucan) in Nambutu Embassy during his first 007 mission. It made M (Judi Dench) angry. After meeting with her superiors she was walking down the corridors in the British House of Commons with her assistant Villiers (Tobias Menzies), complaining about Bond.

The filmmakers wanted viewers to believe that it was the interior of Westminster Palace in London, but the scenes were actually shot in Strahov Monastery in Prague, Czech Republic.

In both photos you can see Philosophical Hall. M and Villiers walked through the door in the back, on the left. They were walking in the direction from which both photos were taken.
