Bond villains Simon Kassianides and Daud Wingate were spotted 'conspiring' over cocktails at a special James Bond party.

Simon - who appears opposite Daniel Craig in the latest James Bond film Quantum Of Solace - met up with Casino Royale actor Daud at the Esquire magazine and B&B Italia party in celebration of James Bond on Thursday night.

The villains joined guests including Lemar, Hard Fi, Esquire editor Jeremy Langmead and singer Sandi Thom for the celebration of all things 007 at the B&B Italia furniture store in West London.

A party insider said: "Simon was spotted deep in conversation with one of the actors who played a Bond villain in Casino Royale all night. They must have been comparing stories."

The actual bed on which Daniel Craig filmed love scenes with his Bond girls for the new movie was installed in the window to recreate the set of the secret agent's chic bedroom.

Guests were treated to champagne and 007's signature vodka martinis as well as James Bond's favourite foods - oysters, potted shrimp, English rarebit, Shepherd's pie and macaroni cheese.

There was also a poker table for guests to take a gamble at a round of cards.

Quantum Of Solace, the 22nd James Bond film, opens in cinemas on October 31.
