Overview

Immerse yourself in London's rich and intriguing espionage history on a walking tour. Your tour ends with a drink at the Caxton Bar, where during World War Two, MI5, SIS and Naval Intelligence Division officers such as 007 author Ian Fleming himself met their agents.
On your private walking tour, your guide will take you through the history of events we know well - including the Cold War and World War II - and flip the stories on their heads to show you what was happening behind the scenes, in the deep underbelly of MI5, MI6, and the Met Police. Along your tour, your guide will tell you about several double agents, how they were discovered and the way these events shaped history.

As you finish with a drink in the Caxton Bar, your guide will be sure you're left up to speed on the ways espionage is still going on in London!
