About
For the first time ever, MI5 is giving the public the chance to see equipment and methods used by its own and enemy spies over the agency's 115-year history at its new free-of-charge exhibition at The National Archives in Kew Gardens.
Highlights include a 110-year-old lemon used by German spy Karl Muller to write secret messages, radio equipment found buried in the garden of Soviet spies Helen and Peter Kroger and Cambridge Five spy Guy Burgess' dispatch case and passport, left behind when he fled to Moscow.
No need to book - we can just turn up on the day. I suggest meeting in the café there between 1-1.30, heading into the exhibition at 1.30, and afterwards when we're done, going to this pub (
https://www.tapontheline.co.uk
) next to Kew Gardens tube station for a drink or something to eat.Nearest Tube Station is Kew Gardens (District Line - Richmond Branch) - 10-minute walk to The National Archives (signposted).
