Thatched Barn
The Thatched Barn was a two-storey mock-Tudor hotel built in the 1930s on the Barnet by-pass in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire, England. It was bought by holiday camp founder, Billy Butlin, before being requisitioned as Station XV by the Special Operations Executive (SOE) in World War Two, and used to train spies. In the 1960s, it became a Playboy Club, and later it became associated with Elstree Film Studios, and was used as a location for TV series The Saint, and later The Prisoner. The original building was demolished at the end of the 1980s, and replaced by a modern hotel, now the Holiday Inn Elstree.
==1930s: Roadhouse to the stars==
In 1927, the Thatched Barn was commissioned by a Mrs Merrick and opened in 1934 as a "roadhouse",〔Fredric Boyce, Douglas Everett, ''SOE: the Scientific Secrets'' (2003) 288 pages, Sutton Publishing Ltd; New Ed edition (9 December 2004), ISBN 0-7509-4005-0 ((page 22 )).〕 and a place where film stars could meet a lady.〔(Unmutual Prisoner Locations Guide ). Retrieved 12 August 2007.〕
In 1939, Billy Butlin purchased the Thatched Barn as his first hotel; however, like his camps, it was requisitioned (this time by the SOE) before he could develop it further.〔
