THE prestigious Burlington Arcade is hosting a new James Bond-themed bar from now until the end of the year.
Timed to mark the 60th anniversary of the release of Goldfinger – the third movie in the long running franchise – the 007 has two bars serving signature cocktails specially created in partnership with brands such as Belvedere, Blackwell Rum, Champagne Bollinger and Macallan.
There’s also the chance to see props from the 1964 classic including the lethal hat of henchman Oddjob, a Fort Knox gold bar, and Goldfinger’s golf shoes.
The arcade itself, which runs between Piccadilly and Burlington Gardens, has had a Bond markover with a bespoke 007 carpet and three handcrafted golden hanging sculptures, inspired by the iconic Aston Martin DB5.
The 007 is open every day December 31st.
