Behind the gracious living and affluence embodied in the St James’s area, a host of stories lurk which tell of covert operations.

Its clubs have an enclosed atmosphere congenial to those living their lives in the shadowy world of espionage and security. There are sites too where important acts of cooperation and betrayal took place.

Join me to hear about the local activities of MI5, MI6, the SOE and other departments. Also see the place where Military Intelligence came into its own. And we finish at a hotel which has its own connections with covert operations.

This is a virtual tour hosted live via Zoom video conferencing, where your guide will show slides and give a talk to accompany them. There will be the opportunity for questions both during and after the talk.
