Daniel Craig appears in a new advert driving a DENZA Z9GT around London. How exciting for us Bond-adjacent-London location-hunting fans. Or should that just be fan singular, me?
But where
We see him with a dog on a lean in a square with a gated park behind him. It will be quite upscale judging by the buildings. I see 20 and 21 on the doors. Unsure tbh. Somewhere nice, possibly Paddington, or Kensington. Although my money would be on somewhere in Notting Hill, maybe Stanley Gardens close to where Bond has a home in Spectre?
If you know this location please get in touch via the comments.
Golborne Bridge
The next location we have discovered. Daniel Craig drives the DENZA Z9GT over the Golborne Bridge in North Kensington. It was dilapidated for 100 years until it got the green light for renovation circa 15 years ago. If you Google Golborne Road you’ll find it.
Some more info can be found on the Golborne Life PDF.

‘The Battleship‘, Westway Flyover, Paddington
Next we see Bond, I mean Craig, drive west to east past ‘The Battleship’ building by Paddington.
Dates built: 1968-69. Design: Paul Hamilton – Bicknell and Hamilton Architects
From the E-Architect Website,
Originally designed by Bicknell & Hamilton the buildings were completed in 1969 and Grade II* Listed in the early 1990s after a successful campaign to prevent their demolition. The buildings were derelict for many years often used for illegal raves but to many travellers on the Westway they remained a modernist icon.

COME ON BOND WHERE ARE YOU?
He then veers right around a corner although I cannot make out this particular location.
Waterloo
Although we now know that he must have already gone over the Thames because the next shot we see Bond, I mean Craig, in the DENZA Z9GT he is driving East to West over Waterloo Bridge.
Easy to spot
He must have taken a left at the end of Waterloo Bridge because now we see him along Victoria Embankment, with the London Eye over his shoulder on the other side of the Thames.
Canary Wharf perhaps?
We then see him drive through a tunnel and finally appear on a bridge with a building on the right that looks to be the One Park Drive, a prominent 57-storey residential skyscraper located in the Canary Wharf district of London.
Not an advert for an advert
You can watch the advert below, I’m not being paid to share it. If you enjoy hunting down locations such as these then do consider buying the London Bond Map through the online store.
