The Spying Room

After viewing the Lee Miller exhibition we went to a lovely London pub (Morpeth Arms?) on the north bank. The Spying Room looks out onto the MI6 building (the one M sees blown up in a James Bond film). There's photos of spies adorning the walls. Fabulous pie and mash and sunshine streaming in. Then back to view some JMW Turners!!

PoJT Bought a book called "One Photo a Day Keeps The Doctor Away" and a tea towel with a Rolleiflex camera on it with the slogan "I'd rather Take a Photo than be In One"

Jak - Bond works abroad, so he’s MI6 and it’s Vauxhall Cross. MI5, the home SIS, is in another building, Thames House.

Terrific light and shadows in the photo. Real spy portraits on the walls? Fascinating!
