National Gallery to Old Royal Naval College: follow the documented places connected to Skyfall.
Bond meets Q before Turner’s The Fighting Temeraire, a quiet conversation about age and obsolescence. From there, Smithfield Market changes the rhythm before Old Royal Naval College supplies the final afterimage; doubles, altered sites and public access are labelled at the point they matter.
Locations are sequenced as a fan journey, not a plot recap. Songs, scenes and episodes lead the route; changed, private and doubled sites are labelled rather than smoothed into fiction.
13 public-place or area references. Private properties and unlocated historic sites stay off the map.
