About

If you’re a fan of espionage, thrillers, or the acclaimed Slow Horses series, a Slow Horses Tour in London is an unmissable opportunity. It’s a unique way to immerse yourself in the shadowy, suspense-filled world of Mick Herron’s fictional universe while exploring one of the most vibrant and storied cities in the world.

The Slow Horses tour offers a rare chance to see London through the eyes of an MI5 outsider. While traditional spy stories often focus on glamorous locations and top-tier agents, Slow Horses flips the script by focusing on misfits and outcasts. Visiting the real-life inspirations for key locations from the books and TV series lets you step into the shoes of these flawed but fascinating characters.

One of the tour highlights is to visit Slough House, a fictional building that comes to life in the TV adaptation. Though unremarkable from the outside, it’s a key location that symbolizes the fall from grace for MI5 agents. Walking past this drab, weathered structure, you’ll feel the bleak atmosphere that defines the series. It’s a good example of how London’s hidden, unglamorous spots play a role in this gripping narrative.

In addition to connecting with the narrative of Slow Horses, this tour offers the thrill of exploring London’s lesser-known, atmospheric streets. The streets and alleys in the North West corner of the City of London provide the perfect setting for clandestine operations and the unpredictable, gritty world of spies. For fans of the show, the tour brings a new depth to beloved scenes, allowing you to experience the drama and tension firsthand.

The Slow Horses Tour isn’t just a tour of London; it’s a walk through a world where danger and secrets are never far away, offering a fresh perspective on both the city and the art of espionage.
