Private Spy Films Tour of London

Starting at the gorgeous Georgian Somerset House, my tour will take you to the locations from some of Britain's best Spy Films. Including sights such as Rules Restaurant (a favourite eatery of the great and good), the National Gallery (which houses a priceless parade of paintings), and of course, the headquarters of Mi6 in Vauxhall. Along the way, we will also learn about Ian Fleming, the creator of Britain's most famous spy, his inspiration for the stories, and his real-life war service, including his involvement in Operation Mincemeat and the famous 'Flyfishing Memo' and how Fleming was vital in the establishment of the American Office of Strategic Services (the OSS) the forerunner to the CIA! I'll even tell you what little we know about my great-uncle's wartime service in the Special Operations Executive and how this clandestine organisation inspired some of the Bond stories and even some of the characters!
