things less interesting than a pigeon walking in a circle.

Great Factoid.

The setting of the SIS offices were featured in the James Bond films GoldenEye, The World Is Not Enough, Die Another Day, and Casino Royale. For the first time MI6 allowed filming of the building itself in The World is Not Enough for the pre-credits sequence, where a bomb hidden in a briefcase full of money is exploded inside the building. Originally, Her Majesty’s Government objected, citing a security risk. However, then Foreign Secretary Robin Cook said, “After all Bond has done for Britain, it was the least we could do for Bond.”

Wicked :)
