About the Tour

Welcome to VoiceMap. I'm Brian Gray. For many years as an intelligence guide and writer, I've been researching, creating, and delivering in-depth in-person tours on THE INTELLIGENCE TRAIL. Clients include members of the intelligence, military and diplomatic communities from around the world.

But if you're here in London on your own or with a partner, I created this London Solo Spy Tour for you so you can still enjoy a content-rich, informative and thought-provoking spy tour all for yourself. After all, with London the undisputed spy capital of the world, it would be criminal not to!

And talking of criminal, this tour takes you on a journey involving one of the most shocking acts to have taken place in central London in recent years. It brought about a major police investigation to be launched, a thorough official Inquiry, and it thrust the murky worlds of Russian intelligence, political, and business affairs into the limelight here in the UK.

Taking you through Theatreland, Piccadilly, and into Mayfair, this is the most comprehensive GPS-enabled London spy tour you'll find that brings the story of death to life.
