6th December 2011
Principal photography for "Skyfall", the 23rd James Bond adventure, was in full swing today in London. Filming took place on the roof of the Department of Energy and Climate Change located at 3 Whitehall Place, Westminster. London's press and paparazzi were tipped off as to the location of the shoot by George Barker MP via his twitter feed. The photos below include the first look at Naomie Harris in character as field agent Eve. Observant fans also noticed that Daniel Craig is once again clean shaven, after earlier sequences filmed in London saw the actor sporting a stubbly beard. The clapper shows that Harris and Craig are capturing scene number 172, which will take place near the end of "Skyfall".
