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.

A trail of clues awaits in

Brixton

The notorious gang of elderly jewel thieves, known as "The Antiques", have been caught and charged with breaking and entering. As part of a plea bargain, their leader Robin Lightfinger has handed over a treasure map, revealing the location where they buried all the jewels and gems they collected on their many heists. But there's a catch - they've given all the places nicknames, causing confusion here at Exploration Society HQ. We need you - our greatest explorers - to follow the clues and rule out locations with no loot. Rumour has it that the gang's associates in the area have been bribed to also search for the treasure. Keep your quest documents close and beat them to the treasure!

More Information:

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

The route is 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 Brixton Underground Station, on the Victoria 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 of the Trail and near Clue 06. the route passes several pubs and cafes along the way, with a great picnic spot near Clue 16 if the weather is nice!

Why not make a day of it and explore the nearby Brixton Windmill, or linger at Pop Brixton and the David Bowie Memorial along the way? If you fancy another challenge, try one of our other London Trails!

Mini Explorer 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.
