By the time the black taxi slips out of central London the city loosens its grip; hedgerows and chalk slopes replace glass and traffic hum. Over roughly nine and a half hours the Chilterns lean in, film backlots open like stage sets, and you move from roadside photo-stops to short walks through parkland—Shrublands health club (Thunderball), the Bladen safe house from The Living Daylights, a park used as a recurring backlot, and an exterior stop at Pinewood Studios.
