Reviews for a MI6 ‘safe house’ have appeared online (Google)

It appears not even the Secret Intelligence Service (SIS) is safe from Google’s all-seeing Street View cameras.

The secret front line of Britain’s national security appeared to be caught out after details of a MI6 ‘safe house’ in central London appeared on Google Maps.

Intelligence officials worried about a security breach can relax however as it looks to be the handiwork of internet pranksters after the post appeared on Reddit.

Previously situated on a construction site down the road from Goodge Street Underground Station, the ‘safe house’ has even attracted review from former ‘residents’.


‘Felt less than safe during my time there, a complete ordeal!’ joked one reviewer

Another said: ‘I’d have given this a great review, except some twonk has published the location on Google and now I have to move. Great.’



Earlier this year, Google began to compile a clearer picture of North Korea after releasing an updated map of the secretive communist state.

The updated records were compiled on Google’s Map Maker, a collaborative community effort aimed at improving mapping details in countries where the data is not available.
