A trail of clues awaits in
Trafalgar Square
Colin Nelson, a clumsy workman and self-proclaimed descendant of Horatio Nelson, was hard at work installing a new art piece on the fourth plinth in the iconic Trafalgar Square. But as luck would have it, Colin slipped and fell! In a desperate attempt to save himself, he grabbed onto a crack in the plinth and discovered a map and a set of clues that could lead to a valuable treasure.
But Colin is now laid up in the hospital and unable to search for the treasure himself. He needs the help of the bravest treasure seekers to scour the streets of Central London and claim the reward. Can YOU beat the competition and help Colin pay his medical fees?

Get ready for an exciting self-guided Treasure Hunt that will take you on an adventure through the heart of London. Starting at the iconic Trafalgar Square, you'll follow a trail of sneaky clues through Admiralty Arch and along The Mall.

The clock is ticking… Are YOU ready to embark on this thrilling adventure and help Colin claim his reward?

Before you set off on your awesome adventure to explore Trafalgar Square, there are a few things you need to know…
PLEASE NOTE - 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 or events ahead of travel.
The route isn’t friendly for wheelchair users or pushchairs due to unavoidable steps along the route.
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 Charing Cross Railway Station and Charing Cross Underground Station, on the Northern and Bakerloo lines. The Embankment Underground Station, on the Circle, District, Northern and Bakerloo lines, is also a short walk away.
There are public toilets available towards the beginning of the Trail and at the National Gallery or Portrait Gallery of the Trail. Some toilet stops require payment. The route passes several places to eat along the way.
Looking for more things to do in London? Make a day of it and explore some of the city’s other famous attractions, like the Natural History Museum or London Zoo. Or, if you fancy another challenge, try one of our other London Trails!
Mini Explorer Club
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.
