Bond looks at the painting "The Fighting Temeraire".

The Fighting Temeraire tugged to her last berth to be broken up, 1838 is an oil painting by the English artist J. M. W. Turner. It was painted in 1838 and exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1839. HMS Temeraire was one of the last second-rate ships of the line to have played a distinguished role in the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. The painting depicts the 98-gun ship HMS Temeraire, being towed by a paddle-wheel steam tug towards its final berth in Rotherhithe in south-east London in 1838 to be broken up for scrap. The painting hangs in the National Gallery, London, having been bequeathed to the nation by the artist in 1851. In 2005 it was voted the nation's favourite painting in a poll organised by BBC Radio 4's Today programme.

REGENCY CAFÉ

Location: London, England
Address: 17-19 Regency Street
Bond connection: Cafeteria seen in Daniel Craig movie Layer Cake


The Regency Café opened in 1946 on Regency Street, London, near to the borders of Westminster and Pimlico. It was sold by the original owners to Antonio Perotti and Gino Schiavetta in 1986. It is now run by Antonio's daughter, Claudia and Gino's son Marco.

The interior tiling is original, while the tables are newer and formica topped. Interior decorations include photographs of Tottenham Hotspur football players. The cafe is designed in an art deco style.

The Regency Café serves cuisine traditionally seen in a greasy spoon style cafe. It includes a variety of breakfast food such as Eggs Benedict, although with fried eggs. The tea served was described by Harry Wallop for The Daily Telegraph, as "Proper builders’ tea, the stuff that once fuelled the docks, factories and steelworks of Britain; a mug of pure, liquid copper." Other items include a homemade steak pie.

In 2013, the Regency Café was voted as the fifth best restaurant in London by users of the website Yelp. It had already been included in a list of the top five less expensive places to eat in the UK.
