These are some of the sights we most regularly show visitors during a tour of London’s scandal:
Visit the heart of British politics, the imposing Houses of Parliament alongside the river Thames. This is where the Parliament of England has been meeting since the 13th century, so it has witnessed many a political scandal in its time.
Still known for its nightlife, Soho is the location of the infamous Murray’s Cabaret Club on Beak Street. It is where Christine Keeler and Mandy Rice-Davies worked. This is where they met, and how the women knew Stephen Ward, who introduced Keeler to John Profumo.
This is the site where Johnny Edgecombe fired five shots at Christine Keeler’s door. It could be seen as the moment that triggered the beginning of the Profumo affair, as details began to come out of the woodwork.
