Aston Martin is commemorating the 60th anniversary of its iconic association with the James Bond film franchise through the House of Q, a unique pop-up experience in London’s Burlington Arcade. Opening on July 18 and running until August 4, this exclusive event celebrates six decades since Goldfinger first showcased the legendary DB5. Visitors will enter the House of Q through a concealed door within a magazine newsstand, revealing a secret world inspired by the film’s espionage themes.
The House of Q features a Champagne Bollinger bar styled as a speakeasy, decorated with technical drawings and parts from the original DB5, alongside sketches and schematics from Aston Martin and EON Productions. A top-secret Q flight case on display offers hints about a future Aston Martin model, adding an element of intrigue for visitors willing to explore the details.
