Boy's Own Luxury Shopping in London

The announcement of the next James Bond was big news.

Tall, blonde and handsome Daniel Craig beat Ewan McGregor, Hugh Jackman and Clive Owen to become the sixth James Bond, but what accessories will the new 007 need, and where will he find them? 

Thankfully creator Ian Fleming name-checks the extravagant London-based spy's brands of choice in his novels at every given opportunity, making imitation easy if you have the cash. 

Head to the some of London's wealthiest shopping areas, including Jermyn Street and Park Lane, to get kitted out in style...

Anderson & Sheppard

Andersen & Sheppard, a famous and very flashy British tailor's shop, has been serving royalty and celebrities, including Mr Bond, since 1873. Prices start at around £2000.

Spymaster

Night vision equipment and bugging devices, bulletproof clothing, electronic surveillance and protection equipment, or even a plain old spy kit – these are just some of the must-have gadgetry items for any wannabe James Bond. You'll find them all at Spymaster.

James Purdey & Sons

Queen Victoria made her first purchase from James Purdey & Sons in 1838. This very grand company has been handcrafting guns for hunting and shooting for almost 200 years. The ultimate Bond accessory, even if you never intend to use it on anything more threatening than a partridge.

Floris

There's no point looking the part if you don't smell fantastic too. Floris has been making luxurious fragrances for men since in 1730. Heaven scent.

Watches of Switzerland

Luxury and high performance are the watchwords here. At Watches of Switzerland expect to find Cartier, Breitling, Omega, Panerai and TAG Heuer. Suitable wrist-wear for all jetsetting gents.

Aston Martin Sales of Mayfair

Forget BMW, Lotus and Bentley. While he may sometimes resort to driving them, James Bond is only truly comfortable in a classic Aston Martin. Surely the ultimate boy's toy.

Dunhill

Dunhill caters to the needs of the discerning man, from formal and casual menswear to handcrafted leather goods through to fine men's jewellery and the gold lighter reminiscent of Sean Connery's 007.

Geo F Trumper

Trumper's have been creating fine men's grooming products since 1875. And it's just as popular now, especially with the guys across the park from the store in Buckingham Palace. For true luxury, try their traditional wet shave with hot towels.
