I see Charing Cross jubilee platforms got a nice workout in the latest Bond
film. LU must've earned a few quid there. Are those platforms used for
anything else these days other than filming?


It appeared to have been renamed Temple for the filming, but it
certainly wasn't District or Circle line stock being used.


Temple and also Embankment, IIRC. Train was a Jubbly line '96 tube stock
(as befits a station, albeit a closed one, on the Jubilee line). The
supposedly sardines rush-hour scene(s) on the train seemed a bit, well,
spacious!

The peak hours only exit from Charing Cross mainline station on
Northumberland Avenue briefly doubled for a street entrance to
Embankment station in one shot.
