Raffles London at The OWO
OPERATION MINCEMEAT AFTERNOON tea
The Old War Office building played a significant role in British history and some of the nation’s most important leaders and statesmen have walked these halls. During the Second World War this building was a hub for intelligence activity. Candidate spies for the Special Operations Executive (SOE) were interviewed and briefed in the basement, and key agents involved in Operation Mincemeat worked here. The audacious 1943 deception that helped divert enemy forces from Sicily and alter the course of the war. Elements of the operation were conceived and coordinated here, within the former offices of Naval Intelligence. Operation Mincemeat inspired both a film and an Olivier Award-winning musical comedy. And it has now inspired our Executive Chef Roger Olsson and Executive Pastry Chef RemyYvves Pugeot, with our latest afternoon tea.
