It was here that the spy’s creator, Ian Fleming, jotted his notes for the novels while sipping Martinis.
And while the location doesn’t figure into any of the 007 adventures, you can visit the bar where this preference was born: the lounge at Dukes Hotel in London’s Mayfair. Through dozens of novels and movies (mostly the latter) he quaffs variations on the drink. No character, real or fictional, is more associated with the love of a good Martini than superspy James Bond.
