A shopping centre in London's Mayfair has created a 007 experience in homage to the James Bond film Goldfinger, which is 60 years old this year.

Three handcrafted golden hanging sculptures, inspired by the Aston Martin DB5, can be seen in the centre of Burlington Arcade.

As visitors walk underneath, there is a carpet with famous lines from the film.

The 007 experience features two bars, open until 31 December, where fans can enjoy a signature cocktail.

The first floor has a 007 boutique offering collectibles to buy, including a range of Burlington Arcade exclusive pieces.

Visitors can also seek out movie props including Oddjob’s hat, a Fort Knox gold bar, Goldfinger’s golf shoes and the spy-hole clock from his private plane.
