The Mysterious Island of Bridges - A Treasure Hunt Adventure

Join us on an epic adventure as we journey through the heart of London on a self-guided treasure hunt like no other. You'll explore the city's most famous bridges - London Bridge and Tower Bridge (which many people think is London Bridge!) - and uncover the secrets of a long lost treasure.

It all started when the King received a majestic pet polar bear from Norway. The Queen allowed the creature to swim along the Thames between London Bridge and Tower Bridge to hunt for fish and stretch his big, fluffy, white legs. But on one of his excursions, the bear returned with something unexpected - a treasure map of the mysterious Island of Bridges! And now, it's up to YOU, the world's most famous treasure hunters, to solve the clues and discover the hidden treasure.

Treasure Hunt Through London's Iconic Bridges

Get ready for an exciting journey across London's most famous bridges as you search for the lost treasure. Follow the rippling riverside and unravel twisting tales about these iconic monuments as you solve clues scribbled on the back of the map. But beware - this challenge may be more than you can bear!

Starting at London Bridge, you'll make your way to Tower Bridge, discovering hidden clues and avoiding booby traps along the way. Will you be the one to pinpoint the exact location of the treasure and claim your reward?

The Queen is counting on you… Good luck, Explorers!

What is a Treasure Trail?

Before You Set Off

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

This route is unfortunately not suitable for wheelchair users or pushchairs due to several sets of steps along the route. For an accessible Trail, try nearby Bankside or Pilgrims in Southwark.

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

The start and endpoints of this Trail are close to London Bridge Station (SE1 9SP).

This Trail could be completed after dark with a torch. No area of the Trail is closed after dusk.

Crossings of Tower Bridge can sometimes be restricted if the bridge is raised. Tall ships (over 9m) requiring the bridge to be lifted have to give 24 hours written notice, so it's actually quite a privilege to catch this in action, and the whole process does not take long.

Access may be restricted to some parts of the Trail on some days due to special events in central London. For more information on planned events, please contact London's Information Centre.

There are public toilets available at London Bridge Station, by the Tower of London, and in other locations along the way. The route passes a good number of cafe's, pubs and restaurants.

As well as these two iconic bridges, along the Trail, you will see Old Billingsgate Market, the Tower of London, HMS Belfast and information about the 'wrong' London Bridge that was bought and shipped to the USA by mistake!
