Filming began in March 2019 on a frozen lake in Nittedal, Norway, with the opening scene being shot there. On 28 April, production moved to Jamaica, followed by various locations in England, Scotland, Italy, and the Faroe Islands, before concluding on 20 December at the UK's Pinewood Studios. After almost two more years the film could be seen in cinemas, due to the covid pandemic, the premiere was postponed several times.
The world premiere finally took place on 28 September 2021 at London's Royal Albert Hall. Some scenes were shot in the British capital, including a meeting between James Bond and M (Ralph Fiennes), the codename of the head of the British Secret Service. This conversation was filmed on 12 July 2019 at Lower Mall, alongside the River Thames.

Hammersmith Bridge, which was built between 1884 and 1887, can be seen in the background. Due to its poor condition, the bridge was closed to motorised traffic in April 2019 and to all traffic in August 2020. During our visit, part of the bridge had been repaired and was accessible to pedestrians and cyclists. The easiest way to visit the bridge is to travel to Hammersmith Underground station and walk for 10 minutes.
