Congratulations on finding this secret comms page – you have passed your first test as a recruit of The Network.
As you’ll know by now, The Network is a covert branch of British Intelligence, headed up by Mycroft Holmes. We’re searching for the best of the best to join our ranks, so will need to put you through your paces in a routine training mission. To find our headquarters, you’ll need to locate our disguised storefront, Doyle’s Opticians, based in the unsuspecting West 12 Shopping Centre in Shepherd’s Bush, London.
Ahead of time, you will receive a notification that you are due an eye test at Doyle’s Opticians. However, unlike other optometrists, we’ll test not only how well you see, but also how well you observe. Also, please note we don’t sell glasses or provide contact lens consultations, so bring your own viewing aids if required.
Please keep this top secret disguised location under wraps – the general public are of course unaware of The Network headquarters. To keep up appearances, upon arrival, buzz the intercom and tell them you are here for a routine eye test.
If you are struggling to find headquarters, look out for the posters displayed on the storefront. These advertise various things that have absolutely, positively nothing whatsoever to do with The Network. These posters will include advertisements for:
Sherlock: The Official Live Game
The Case of the Poisoned Chalice: Cocktail Experience
If you arrive, and are still struggle to locate headquarters, give our dispatch team a call: 020 8130 0021
Or use the map below to help you find your way.
If you still can’t find us, I suggest you give up as you are clearly not cut out to be an agent.
Best of luck with your training mission – fingers crossed nothing goes wrong…
– Stamford (The Network)
