For some unknown reason I felt the need to make a note of all the London addresses that Ian Fleming wrote to, as chronicaled in The Man with the Golden Typewriter, Ian Fleming’s James Bond Letters, edited by Fergus Fleming.

Some of you might ask if I have a lot of time on my hands. NO as it goes, I make time for this. All photos by me.
