Overview

**NEW - AUDIO NARRATION ON ENGLISH LANGUAGE VERSION** Not all treasure is made of gold. But some of it is. This trail wraps the City’s real medieval history in a playful alchemical metaphor. Yes, there really was a Dick Whittington! You’ll find him in all seven stages of alchemy and, in the process, discover the City’s ancient heart still beating behind all that steel and glass. You’ll start at Tower Hill and pass through places most Londoners have never noticed: secret gardens, lost guilds, ancient hallways and royal residences. It’s part treasure hunt, part fever dream, and entirely grounded in the City’s medieval streets. You won’t need a guide — the trail is embedded in the stone and shadow. Fully playable in 11 languages (English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Arabic) — no guide required. Starts: Tower Hill Station Ends: near the Bank of England Distance: 4 km For adults & teens with a love of myth, history & hidden London
