Step into the shadows of Westminster and discover covert locations where spies, assassins and duplicitous double agents plied their trade. Visiting the smartest corners of London, we peer into a murky world marked by treason and treachery, betrayal and murder.
From the wartime HQ of Britain’s Secret Intelligence Service (SIS) to the exceptionally discreet apartment of C, (‘M ‘in the Bond films), we walk in the footsteps of officers and agents who shaped history. Some of them managed Enigma – WWII’s greatest secret; others deviously created the biggest deception operation of the war.
Some planned covert Cold War actions, a few gave away information on all of the above and one or two recently revealed GCHQ’s modern-day London secrets.
Visiting shadowy locations that are rarely seen, we pass Ian Fleming’s wartime office, the glamorous house once used by SIS as a recruitment centre and the beautiful garden that witnessed an ugly assassination. Guided by Dan Parry
“For decades to come the spy world will continue to be the collective couch where the subconscious of each nation is confessed.” – John le Carre

Dan offered an indepth and very engaging walk among buildings and streets you would never know are part of the most interesting spy history & presence in London. A true expert who is energetic and engaging.
Besides the ‘history’ I enjoyed the added benefit of seeing the ‘off the beaten tracks’ streets, alleyways and ‘homes’ in the quiet St. James area. Love walking the neighborhood areas not typically seen when walking London.
Fabulous 2 hours fly by!

Great tour. Dan’s knowledge of the world of espionage and deception was fantastic, we all learnt a lot. Highly recommend Dan as a tour guide.
Colin R –
Dan was a great and engaging guide and really brought the subject to life with his in depth knowledge, fascinating anecdotes and energy. Having lived in London for over 20 years, we also discovered lovely streets, squares and little back alleys around St James that we’d previously not come across. All-in-all, a very enjoyable way to spend 2 hours on a Saturday afternoon.
