The British Academy entrance

Place of work for Madeleine Swann


Address: 10–11 Carlton House Terrace, London, SW1Y 5AH

The British Academy near Pall Mall and a ten minute walk from Buckingham Palace, plays home to the work residence of Madeleine Swann. It’s here on the stairwell that she chats briefly with a colleague who informs her there is someone in her office and that ‘he’s weird’. Madeleine replied, ‘you can’t say that.’

The stairwell is instantly recognisable and you can even see the vantage point from where the camera crew got their establishing shot. I walked in and asked the lady at the desk if it was ok to look around and she was very kind and told me where they filmed. (Just up the stairs).

The lady on the front desk said she met Rami Malek here although not for filming No Time To Die. She spoke to him for about 30 minutes and didn’t realise who he was. But a thoroughly nice chap by all accounts.
