About | Trent Park House of Secrets
Trent Park House of Secrets in London is a new museum which reveals the incredible story of the WWII ‘Secret Listeners’ - a story which remained hidden for over 70 years.
The museum occupies two floors of Trent Park House, following the meticulous restoration of one of London’s grandest houses. On the ground floor, visitors will journey through magnificently restored and furnished rooms that were the backdrop to Sir Philip Sassoon’s socialite and political world, where he hosted some of the most influential statesmen, journalists, royalty and politicians in the 1930s.
In 1942 the house became one of Britain’s most secret wartime establishments. Captured senior German officers were held here in conditions of deliberate comfort, encouraged to talk freely, and listened to without their knowledge. In the basement below, a team of German speaking refugees, most of them Jewish, recorded their conversations through hidden microphones.
This is an astonishing story of espionage, courage and creative deception which remained untold until now.
