During the Cold War, London was a major centre of espionage with many Soviet spies living and operating within the city.
In this video, I'll be taking you on a tour of various sites associated with such Cold War spies, including tube stations, pubs, unassuming houses, the locations of so called 'dead letter boxes' and much more...
(Disclaimer: Please note, this video includes German, Russian, Polish and Czech names- in other words, names which are not in my native tongue. So, apologies in advance for any mispronunciations!)
