London is full of secrets. Its long and multilayered history takes many twists and turns and even today there are sides to London many people will never see.

On this tour we will reveal some of London’s secrets, its hidden nooks and crannies and the places where only insiders can go; but of course, the information is strictly classified. We can only hint at our secret itinerary in this all-too-public space.

In the interests of security, we can impart no more details. All will be revealed to the privileged few who secure a place on this tour; but until then, sssshhhh.
