Immerse yourself in the cloak & dagger world of the second oldest profession in the world: espionage! Go on a journey into the world of subterfuge and infiltration in the birthplace of espionage!

Highlights

  • Visit the home of the first head of the Secret Intelligence Service (MI6)
  • Take a walk through St James Park - surrounded by espionage history
  • Finish the day with a Q&A with an expert at an exclusive private club accompanied by a cocktail and dinner

Description

Start at 'The House of Spies' to sip a Vesper martini shaken, not stirred. Learn about the dirty tricks, false flags and Black Ops of some of the most famous spies in history, who worked in the area, with your spy expert. Walk through St James’s Park at night, a park full of spy stories, before enjoying dinner in an atmospheric Whitehall location. London is the true “City of Spies” with over 10,000 agents hard at work in the capital! You will hear tales of Elizabeth I and intrigue, the Great Game, and the Cold War. You’ll tread in the footsteps of “The Cambridge Ring”, the Special Operations Executive and, of course, the most famous spy in the world: “007”. This is a spy journey of which John le Carré, Frederick Forsyth, and Ian Fleming would be proud. We explore the successes and failures of MI5 and SIS (MI6), root out the treachery of the Cambridge spy ring, find out the facts behind the invention of the world’s first computer and why many of its uses were top secret until recently… and how many more still are! Created by an expert from the real world of espionage and the British Secret Service, you will discover the world of spooks in a unique and practical way, starting with a Vesper Martini (or other cocktails/mocktails) and ending with dinner and discussion at our atmospheric Whitehall venue.
