James Bond meets his match during London filming

Part of Westminster was brought to a standstill today as Daniel Craig filmed scenes for his latest Bond film 'Skyfall'.

New Bond movie being filmed outside my mate's work in London right now. (MOD). Daniel Craig has had to do some running (this is all I know)

People working and shopping nearby tried to get a glimpse of the star.
