  • 1.9 LADIES' BRIDGE
    Apr 13 2025

    How many other contributions have the women of London made, that have been overlooked by history?


    Your clue to the tenth and final location:

    Our final location is in Pall Mall, some distance away. The 15-20 minute walk takes you down Embankment and through Trafalgar Square. Pall Mall is crowded with fine buildings, but this might be one of the finest. The gold statue above the pillars certainly think so!

  • 1.8 HODGE
    Apr 13 2025

    Are you a cat person or a dog person?


    Your clue for the ninth location:

    The next location is a bridge, named after a famous battle. But you're not walking over it. The bridge isn't secret, but its history used to be.

  • 1.7 NOBLE SACRIFICES
    Apr 13 2025

    Stop a while to rest, and read some of the dedications.


    Your clue for the eighth location:

    Return to St Paul's and keep heading West. Keep your eye out for... cheese?? And what eats cheese? Mice. And what chases mice...? A very old cheese marks the passage. You turn right, and are transported to the alleys of 18th century London. Can you find an animal that eats mice hidden somewhere in these little alleys and squares?

  • 1.6 THEATRE GHOST
    Apr 13 2025

    Maybe stop to take in a show... if you're not afraid of ghosts.


    Your clue for the seventh location:

    Return to the north side of the Thames. The most magnificent cathedral in London towers above the City. You might want to enjoy it before exploring some of the hidden gems nestled behind it. A alliterative park with many stories within. Do you want to hear some of them?

  • 1.5 CULT OF MITHRAS
    Apr 13 2025

    Be initiated into the ancient mysteries of the Cult of Mithras.


    Your clue for the sixth location:

    Our tour now takes a brief detour over the river and back (the trail doubles back on itself so this stop can be skipped if you prefer less walking). Cross to the south side of the river and find the oldest theatre you can think of. No, not the famous one. There's another even older theatre hiding in the Globe's shadows. Can you find it?

  • 1.4 RAT CATCHER
    Apr 13 2025

    Careful, there are rats!


    Your clue for the fifth location:


    Keep walking west, until you come to the main entrance of a train station named after a medieval weapon. Tucked away between a Starbucks and a monument to finance is something very very old.

  • 1.3 ROMAN WOMAN TAKES A BATH
    Apr 13 2025

    We've travelled back in time to Roman days!


    Your clue for the fourth location:

    The next location is minutes away. You spot two familiar characters near the bath - a walrus and a carpenter?? You walk past them up a narrow lane until you come to a main road. Thirsty? You might want to look out for a juice bar. But not for a tall glass of OJ - what you seek is outside. Look very, very carefully. Two tiny mischievous creatures are hiding in plain sight.
