We embark on a journey northward from London. Bletchley Park stands as a place of profound historical significance, serving as the nerve centre for British Codebreakers during WWII.

In 1941, Prime Minister Winston Churchill issued a resounding directive: “make sure they have all they want extreme priority and report to me as soon as this has been done.” Consequently, Bletchley Park experienced a substantial influx of resources and the initiation of massive building projects to accommodate its expanding workforce.
The Government’s Code and Cypher school devised ingenious methods that allowed the Allied forces to decode military ciphers from German, Japanese, and other Axis nations. This yielded critical intelligence that supported Allied military operations across land, sea, and air. Bletchley Park also marked the dawn of information technology, with code-breaking processes propelled by ground-breaking machines such as the Turing/Welshmen, Bombe, and the pioneering electronic computer, Colossus.
