Welcome to Murder Mile, a true crime podcast, an audio-guided walk, featuring many of

of London's untold, unsolved, and long-forgotten murders, all set within and beyond the West End.

Today's episode is about Christine Granville, a hero, a soldier, a secret agent, and one of the most

amazing women who has ever lived. But being cast aside by a government who no longer needed her skills,

her cruel death marked a sad demise for Churchill's favorite spy. Mordemarle's research

using the original police files. It contains moments of satire, shock and grisly details,

and as a dramatization of the real events, it may also feature loud and realistic sounds, so that no matter where you listen to this podcast, you'll feel like you're actually there.

My name is Michael. I am your tour guide and this is Murder Mile. Episode 97,

Christine Granville, The Fall of a Forgotten Hero. Today, I'm standing in Lexham Gardens in Kensington, W-8.

Four streets north of the home of Elizabeth MacLindon's deluded killer.

Three streets west of the basement where serial killer John George Haig dissolved the entire McSwan family,

and a quarter of a mile south of the first sadistic murder by Neville Heath.

Coming soon to Murder Mile.

Situated one mile from three of London's best museums,

but nowhere near anything of interest,

except for a huge Sainsbridge and half a billion hotels.

This part of Kensington is posh, but pointless. You know it's posh, as nothing has prices and nobody smiles.

You know it's pointless, as although each flat is sold for a minimum of 1.5 million quid a pop,

most of its owners only have enough money left, for a faulty facelift, a scarf cut from

roadkill, teeth made from Steinway keys, a teeny tiny legless dog who lives in a bag, and

a personalized license plate, which is meant to read Anu 5, but instead it looks like anus.

The only view here is the noisy A4 trunk road which rifts through its heart.
