The National Gallery in Trafalgar Square featured in 2012’s Skyfall, as Bond met the new Q in front of the painting The Fighting Temeraire by JMW Turner. <\/p>\n
Fans of the franchise can also stare morosely at the oil painting of a warship being towed away for scrap, it having been bequeathed to the nation by the artist in 1851.<\/p>\n
For a more convenient – if more expensive – bit of Bondly self-introspection, try staring at a \u00a320 banknote, where the picture of the Temeraire (and a self-portrait of a fresh-faced JMW) is featured.<\/p>\n
Skyfall (2012) also filmed at the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich, used for the scene where M attends the funerals of the MI6 agents killed in a terrorist attack.<\/p>\n
It was also the location for contenders to Q up ahead of the Laver Cup earlier this year, where a clutch of male tennis players vied to become the next love-love seven.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The National Gallery in Trafalgar Square featured in 2012’s Skyfall, as Bond met the new Q in front…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":812303,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[96,2839,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-812302","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-entertainment","tag-movies","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/812302","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=812302"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/812302\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/812303"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=812302"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=812302"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=812302"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
