The name is Fleming, Ian Fleming

Peter and I were at Belgravia last night when we came upon a blue plaque bearing the name of Ian Fleming. He is of course best known for the most suave, debonair, with the chilling killer instinct that is James Bond, Agent 007.

Anyway the plaque commemorate Ian Fleming as resident of 22b Ebury St, Belgravia in the Borough of Westminster.

Sadly 22b Ebury St was not the birth place of Bond, James Bond as Ian Fleming lived in the street between 1934 – 1945. James Bond, a car loving, with a penchant for martinis, shaken not stirred, women, cigars and food, first put an appearance in print in Casino Royale published in 1953.

Once is happenstance; twice is coincidence; three times is enemy action.

– Ian Fleming
