West India Quay - Canary Wharf & Docks

The Legend of El Loco's Treasure Trove

Over 200 years ago, after a long day of looting, the infamous Spanish pirate known as 'El Loco' made a mistake and ended up at West India Quay instead of the West Indies. In a panic to escape the British Navy, El Loco scattered Clues to the whereabouts of his Caribbean trove of ill-gotten gains around the Quays. He even lost his all-important map of stash spots, which was luckily found by a local and passed down through generations until it reached us at the Exploration Society. Now, we need YOU, our most intrepid adventurer, to follow the Clues and uncover the location of the hidden treasure trove! Are you up for the challenge?
