MI5 safe house - 35, Crespigny Road, Hendon. From (about) May 1942 to after the end of the Second World War, this was the home of Juan Pujol Garcia, aka Agent Garbo (MI5), aka Agent Arabel (Abwehr, the Nazi foreign intelligence and espionage organisation) and his family. Juan Pujol Garcia, MBE and Iron Cross, was one of the key wartime agents involved in the Double Cross deception of Hitler and the German high command as to the place and timing of the invasion of France in 1944.

35 Crespigny Road, Hendon was used by MI5 as a safe house for double agent Juan Pujol Garcia and his family. Agent Garbo, as he was named by MI5 was a crucial member of the group of double agents involved in Operation Fortitude, the fictitious invasion of France across the Straights of Dover to the Pas de Calais. This involved feeding false information to the Abwehr and from there to the German high command and Hitler; this was so successful that the Germans believed it would still happen months after D-Day and so kept many German divisions away from the battle in Normandy.
