Had a morning at the National Archives Kew, where they have an MI5 exhibition.
Its a bit dry, lots of documents to read, bit short on drama, but good Coverage of the WW2 Nazi double agents ZigZag and Garbo (Garbo convinced Hitler the invasion was Calais), good explanation of the Krogers Portland Spy ring, The guy who stole the Nuclear Bomb plans from Los Alamos for the Russians, and of course The Cambridge ring - Blunt, McClean Burgess Philby et al.
Worth a trip, finishes at the end of the month.
