Immerse yourself in the cloak & dagger world of the second oldest profession in the world - Espionage! Learn of the dirty tricks, false flags and Black Ops then sip a Vodka Martini with your spy expert in a secret Whitehall bar before enjoying dinner. You are going on a journey into the devious world of subterfuge and infiltration in the birthplace of professional espionage!
This gift is exclusive to the London Region
· Visit St Ermin’s, an essential part of the British espionage story. Once known as the “House of Spies”, this beautiful Art Nouveau building sat opposite a former MI6 headquarters and was frequented by none other than Ian Fleming, author of the James Bond novels.
· Queen Anne's Gate; home of the first Head of the Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) codenamed “C” (that’s “M” from the Bond movies to you and me) and was the base for all the most prominent espionage personnel.
· A walk-through St James's Park is always a pleasure, but you’ll never see it in the same light after this visit as you are surrounded by espionage history.
· We then head to Waterloo Place, the beginning of “Clubland” to learn about treason, betrayal, money and scandal.
· A visit to London’s “Clubland” will set the scene for the machinations and intrigue of World War II’s spies and bungling agents - not forgetting the Cold War!
· Then, as we walk through the corridors of power, past the old War Office and the Air Ministry, we’ll stop off at The Admiralty which some believe is the birthplace of Bond himself.
· Then, to finish off the day, you’re invited to a private club in the heart of Whitehall for a farewell toast where guests are welcome to join in a Q&A session with their expert host before enjoying dinner at the same venue.
