The Intelligence Trail
The Intelligence Trail is London's intelligence and espionage guided walk, highlighting some of the key episodes in the history of Britain's intelligence services in the last 100 years.

About The Intelligence Trail

I think we are all fascinated by the worlds of James Bond, Jason Bourne and Ethan Hunt so The Intelligence Trail could well be a lot of fun.

This espionage guided walk highlights some of the key episodes in the history of Britain's intelligence services in the last 100 years (note, MI5 and MI6 celebrated their centenaries in 2009), including the early years, WWII, Cold War, and the Middle East.

Tickets

Money Saving Top Tip:

When?

Tours run on Sunday afternoons, meet near Trafalgar Square and last about two and a half hours. Check on the 'Trail schedule on the website for other tours, such as the X-rated 'Sexpionage' version and other which are run throughout the year.

The tour often takes in St Ermin's Hotel as this was once used by the Secret Intelligence Service. I've visited for the St Ermin's Afternoon Tea which was a much more civilized affair.
