Let loose in London: Bond in Motion | teacups and tealights

I 100% prefer buying presents than receiving them. Anyone else? It's getting to watch them open a present that you know they will love and seeing them be so pleased with it. It's my boyfriend's 19th birthday next Tuesday and knowing him very well makes it even more fun going present shopping (though it can damage your bank balance!). I decided that I wanted to take him somewhere awesome as one of his two birthday presents, so I began the Google search. Eventually I found something ideal and I marveled at the perfection. An exhibition in the London Film Museum, Covent Garden featuring most of the iconic vehicles from the James Bond film franchise. 1) He is a hardcore James Bond fan, 2) he is madly in love with the Aston Martin DB5, along with several other well known Bond cars. I don't think I could have found a better gift.

Here are some photos from the day!

 My two favourite props that were on display
(I forgot how gorgeous Pierce Brosnan was)

It was a very enjoyable exhibition, I thoroughly recommend it for any James Bond fan. I bought student tickets for us both, so it came to £9.50 each but the adult tickets are £14.50. I imagine you could easily get through the whole exhibition in half an hour, but we spent a good hour in there as Jamie absorbed and photographed every single exhibit :D

 They had a good little gift shop too, where he bought a t-shirt and a glossy souvenir brochure featuring all the exhibits and some interesting behind the scenes Bond facts. 

Boyfriend's verdict: 10/10
