They are a really good and fun way to explore a new town or city, or your local area... Suitable for all ages. We are in our 70's.

Great detectives needed!

A mystery is waiting to be solved in

Pudding Lane

Crumbs, this really is a curious case! Portly tourist 'Cheerful' Chuck Doughball has met his 'baker' in suspicious circumstances. Found brown-bread and rolled up into a bin near Pudding Lane, Chuck's vacation could've gone batter. His constant overcooked pudding jokes ("Dessert puns are the icing on the cake!") bemused locals. While Chuck thought he was the cream of the crop, his humour was stale and in poor taste. Eventually, someone must have cracked with his endless corn-y gags! Police have failed to rise to the challenge, leaving DCI Patty Cakes furious. "This case has been a total dough-saster!" she exclaimed. "We knead someone who can whisk up results before it all crumbles." Now it's up to you, our top detectives, to sift through the evidence and find some proof. Are you ready to get out on the beat and stop this case from going cold?

The Pudding Lane Puzzle Hunt

Prepare for an exciting self-guided Detective Mystery that will take you through the historic streets of London's Square Mile. As you follow the trail of clues, you'll unravel the mystery of Chuck's disappearance and discover the truth behind his questionable jokes. From The Monument, Sir Christopher Wren's commemoration of the Great Fire of London, you'll patrol through Leadenhall Market and past Fenchurch Street station. Keep your eyes peeled as you go…

With the help of DCI Patty Cakes, you'll need to piece together the evidence and eliminate suspects to solve the case. But hurry, time is ticking, so get to work before you're all toast!

Before you set off on your awesome adventure to explore London, there are a few things you need to know...

The route isn’t friendly for wheelchair users and pushchairs.

This Trail takes you through a very busy city centre, so we would not recommend bringing your four-legged friends along.

The start and end locations of this Trail are located close to Monument Underground Station, on the Circle and District lines.

Access may be restricted to some parts of the Trail on some days due to special events or marches in central London. It’s always best to check for known road closures ahead of travel.

There are public toilets available towards the beginning and end of the Trail and the route passes several pubs and a few cafes along the way. 

Looking for more things to do in London? Make a day of it and explore the nearby Mansion House, or Bank of England Museum? Or, if you fancy another challenge, try one of our other London Trails!


Mini Detective Club

We have three super duper themed Clubs for your child to enjoy as part of their Treasure Trail experience.

Perfect for 4-8 year olds, the concept behind the Clubs is that your child will get a bundle of goodies to excite them about their forthcoming Trail experience, something to keep them entertained whilst travelling to and from the Trail, and something to be given on completion of the Trail as a keepsake.
