01

St Paul’s

Begin beneath Wren’s great dome, where the City’s rebuilding after the Great Fire becomes a landmark you can read in stone.

02

Bankside

Cross the river into Shakespeare’s theatrical London, where the Globe reconnects the modern South Bank with the Elizabethan stage.

03

The Tower

End beside the river’s historic gateway, moving from royal fortress to the Victorian bridge that still opens for ships.

Directions

Getting to the start

Plan your journey to St Paul’s or Blackfriars, then walk to Millennium Bridge / Tate Modern. Meet on the public pavement before opening the first clue.

Check your travel service before setting out. Leave time to meet your team and get ready.

A short walk back is part of the plan. Allow about 15 minutes to walk back to Millennium Bridge after the final puzzle. Pace and crossings affect the time.
