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.

We were a group of 3 generations between 17 and 70ish – you really don't need to have children with you to enjoy these trails.

Top secret!

We've got a mission for you in

Bloomsbury

Attention secret agents - we have a top-secret mission for you!

Can you save the world's worms from danger?

Deep within the bustling streets of Bloomsbury lies a hidden danger. The Brainy Bloomsbury Bunch, a group of clever students at UCL, have accidentally created a wormhole that is sucking up all the worms on Earth! This could have disastrous consequences for our planet's agriculture.

But don't worry, the Brainy Bloomsbury Bunch have left a trail of clues around the university campus for you to follow. They need your help to deactivate the wormhole, as their professor is currently traveling through space and time and cannot be reached.

Spy Mission Through Bloomsbury - Knowledge Quarter

Get ready for an exciting self-guided spy mission through London's Knowledge Quarter. As you make your way through the historic streets and university buildings, you'll unravel fascinating facts and twisting tales. Keep your eyes peeled for sneaky clues hidden in lush gardens and intriguing monuments.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to save the world's worms from danger!

But be warned - the Brainy Bloomsbury Bunch are not great at solving clues, so you'll need to put your spy skills to the test to crack the code and deactivate the wormhole.

Are you ready for this out-of-this-world adventure? The Bloomsbury Knowledge Quarter is waiting for you…

More Information:

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

The route is not marked as wheelchair friendly, but those with light pushchairs should find the route manageable.

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 at Russel Square Tube Station, on the Picadilly line.

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. The route takes you through several green spaces, so bring a picnic!

Why not make a day of it and explore nearby attractions, such as The British Museum, The Charles Dickens Museum or the Grant Museum of Zoology? If you're up for an extra challenge, you could try one of our other London Trails!

Mini Secret Agent 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.
