Who was Britain's greatest spymaster? Hear Henry Hemming talk about Maxwell Knight.


Recommended Posts

Village Books in Dulwich Village hosts Henry Hemming to tell you about Britain's greatest spymaster ?M: Maxwell Knight, MI5?s Greatest Spymaster?. Henry will talk about two remarkable female spies and the man who ran them: an animal-loving drop-out who went on to become MI5?s greatest spymaster.


This event is taking place on Monday 5th June 2017 7pm at St Barnabas Church: The Lounge, 40 Calton Avenue, Dulwich London SE21 7DG


This is the dramatic true story of a maverick MI5 officer who recruited two women in the 1930s to penetrate the British Communist movement. Their skillful, deft work led to the exposure of a Soviet spy-ring in the Woolwich Arsenal, a famous court case and one of them being hailed in America as ?Britain?s counter-espionage heroine?.


Don?t miss the opportunity to hear this entertaining speaker reveal the truth about this legendary, and most unusual. spymaster.


Tickets ?8 (includes a free glass of wine). Book tickets here: www.village-books.co.uk

    • As megalaki84 never posted again with anything to substantiate their allegations, I think we can probably assume that they didn't actually get food poisoning from Love 
    • Hello Megalaki84 ,   have you spoken to the restaurant about this the restaurant has never had this issue occur especially with 3 people at the same time i would be keen to see a health report based on this also if you can tell me date time you had come in and i can investigate this on your behalf as we have cameras in the kitchen to inspect our staff , our products are all labelled and thrown if out of date products especially when we have just recently been inspected by health and safety and have had 5 star rated.   i am not disputing that you have had food poisoning but its very unlikely this had been from us however i will be investigating this as a matter of duty as this is the last thing we want.   we have had thousands of customers and have no issues please feel free to direct message me details.   thanks, hakeem Thank you very much 🙏 Thank you for this sue i couldn’t agree with this more we make sure we have no out of date products and make sure we have a clean kitchen and front house to avoid any issues.
    • I agree on this point. I live in a one bedroom ground floor flat with a 2/3 bed flat above, should they build into the loft the negative impact below would be huge. Plus there is already only space (within the garden which is covered by the ground floor lease) for one wheelie bin per flat so unless Southwark decide to allow bins out on the pavements I am not sure where the additional waste produced by more residents will go! There are many things to consider when it comes to deciding on whether to grant planning permission that Southwark have never taken into account, hence the situation I guess they are in now.  From my point of view when part of the property is shared or owned by the freeholder in the case of flats I think the impact of extending, impact on any communal areas, space for bins etc should be taken into account. Every property is different so each case should be looked at differently. Look at some of the house being converted into 3 flats, they look very smart but now the tiny front gardens are full of bins, rubbish and bike sheds that must impact on the ground floor. Personally the appeal of living in a converted Victorian terrace dwindles when they become so small and crammed into a tiny house, might as well live in a purpose built block!
