London in Skyfall

This may have been posted since the film came out, but did any British AJBers get a thrill at seeing so many scenes in the capital or for that matter, even non-Brits like myself? Personally, it was a thrill to see so much of the film focused there and at so many locations since Bond's home base has historically been relegated to Pinewood indoor sets. I think that's one of main reasons I enjoy re-watching it.

    I was excited to see London get more Attention. It had been used before, but only in small Scenes.

    I personally think it shined a Spotlight on the City -{

    It's nice to see Bond protecting Britain -{ for ages he seemed to be almost
    On loan to the Americans. ;) :))

    Loved it! Especially since the sequence was in the tube, which of course most Londoners are familiar with..

    Totally agree, the scene in Deptford ,where Bond has his Aston stashed, was my dads premises, we went ape in the cinema ,when it came on ,it was just so surreal. Its about time ,London got more Bond location coverage

    I personally think it shone a spotlight on the country. :D

    I think one of the highlights of Skyfall was London.

    Personally I loved those district line scenes between Temple and Westminster. One of those people on the tube is me and I loved the chase to "the hearing". I love Bond in the tunnels trying to extricate himself from the oncoming trains.

    Also we got to see one of our great art treasures - "the Fighting Tamarhire" by Turner in the National gallery..

    One of the best Bond locations.
