Bletchley Park

Bletchley Park is an English country home and estate located 50 miles north of London near Milton Keynes. Originally the eccentric house of the Leon family, Bletchley Park was taken up by MI6 and became a major British espionage center in 1938.

The Leon family initially acquired Bletchley Park in 1883, when Sir Samuel Herbert Leon purchased the estate and began extending its pre-existing farmhouse. The Leons lived at the following mansion, which had Tudor, Dutch Baroque, and Victorian Gothic architectural architecture, until 1937. It was later purchased by a property developer who intended to build a housing development on the land, but Bletchley had other designs.

Bletchley Park is located in Bletchley, Milton Keynes, and is accessible by M1 Junction 13. There is little parking on-site, but Bletchley railway and bus stations are a few minutes' walk away, so taking public transportation may be preferable.
