From Radioactive poisonings to Double Agents, treachery and betrayal we look at how these have impacted not only on London but the whole world. Each tour has only 20 available places ensuring the group is never too large. Each tour guest uses an audio commentary receiver and earpiece. This ensures crystal clear commentary in all conditions. The tour uses the Transport for London rail network (Zone 1) to travel between the most iconic and relevant sites.

We finish here by revealing the exploits of a female spy, a hero of the second World War who helped in the fight against the Nazi's.

Paul led a fabulous tour starting in Vauxhall and MI6. He was informative, friendly and had a relaxed presentation style. He didn't use notes so the commentary flowed , just photographs to illustrate and identity key people ( spies ! )or events. I saw parts of London I'd never seen and heard stories that I knew something about but the fuller facts made them really interesting. A lovely interlude included interaction with a couple of members of the public to act out a real life event of passing information in a pub where it actually happened. They were gracious in accepting the surprise request - they were having a quiet drink - but all done in good spirit and good fun. Highly recommended.

A truly enjoyable tour from a highly knowledgeable, informative and likeable guide. We came away having seen parts of Mayfair not well known and an understanding of its role in espionage activity in London of which we knew very little. This tour is highly recommended and we will look out for any others from this very personable and well informed guide.

Fascinating tour of the spy underworld. Barfield (I'm sure that's not his real name) was full of knowledge and stories. Really worth going to even if you're not into spy stuff. Just so surprising to find out how much spy action takes place here in London.
