Overview

Track down the history of secret agents, from the real to the fictional, on this self-guided audio tour of London. Take an immersive stroll, experience GPS playback, and learn all about the dangerous and debonair world of espionage. Hear from Where Now Tours, who, with a combination of historical facts, dramatic re-enactments, and tantalising trivia to impress your friends, will guide you around Westminster.

This spy-themed London tour will take you around the city. Along the way, you’ll hear all about the writer John Le Carré’s ‘George Smiley’, Robert Ludlum’s ‘Jason Bourne’ and, of course, the most famous fictional super-spy ever, James Bond. Every corner has a story to tell, from covert operations to espionage moments, and you’ll hear them all – going as far back as the 1500s with Queen Elizabeth I’s original spymaster.

There’s an exciting story about secret agents' daring exploits on every corner. So grab your fedora and radio transmitter, but watch your back for double agents.
