English Heritage
Site: Juan Pujol Garcia (1 memorial)
NW4, Crespigny Road, 35
Pujol lived here with his wife and son. We don't have the dates of their occupation but has: "It was from 35 Crespigny Gardens, an MI5 safe house, that Pujol wove a web of deception that bamboozled the Nazis. Messages sent from the house, which diverted German forces away from the Normandy landings, were crucial in ensuring the success of D-Day."
