The answers
10 of the 13 clues are images representing the phonetic alphabet and homophones for letters in English or French.
The remaining three are representations of braille, British Sign Language and Morse code.
The letters can be rearranged to spell "Journey to GCHQ".

The phonetic alphabet clues are Romeo (R) and Juliet (J) in the central block of flats, November (N) on the calendar, hotel (H) for the right-hand building and the woman playing golf (G) to the right of the top-secret stamp.
The homophones are a French bottle of water (O, for eau), the ewe (U) on the road, the cup of tea (T) on the café window, the sea (C) at the bottom of the picture and the queue (Q) of cars.
The braille for Y is carried by the helicopter, the British Sign Language for E is at the top of the building and the highlighted three dashes in the road are Morse code for O
