Burlington Arcade celebrates 60 Years of Goldfinger

In homage to the 1964 classic  Goldfinger, London's Burlington Arcade has created a unique 007 experience – The 007. Featuring two luxuriously designed bars, The 007 is open until December 31, 2024, where fans may enjoy a dash of 007 with signature cocktails specially created in partnership with Belvedere, Blackwell Rum, Champagne Bollinger and Macallan. In the downstairs bar seek out iconic movie props including Oddjob’s hat, a Fort Knox gold bar, Goldfinger’s golf shoes and the spyhole clock from his private plane.

The first floor boutique features a special chance to bid on a limited number of The Macallan’s highly collectible 60th Anniversary Decades whisky sets, with all proceeds being donated to charity.  There is the opportunity to view and perhaps purchase Fabergé’s Octopussy capsule collection including the handcrafted limited edition Egg Objet. From OMEGA, the only two James Bond timepieces ever to be made in yellow gold will be on display – the Seamaster Diver 300M Commander’s Watch (2017) and the Seamaster Diver 300M James Bond Limited Edition (2019), designed to celebrate the 50th anniversary of  On Her Majesty’s Secret Service.
