Covent Garden is London's most theatrical neighbourhood — markets, monuments, and a Roman obelisk all sharing the same postcode.
This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through London on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time.
• Solve riddles at Cecil Court, Trafalgar Square, and Cleopatra's Needle — booksellers, national pride, and 3,500-year-old granite in one walk
• Go at your own pace through one of London's most character-rich neighbourhoods
• Perfect for families, couples, and groups of any size
Around 2 hours, any group size, available in English.
The street performers are optional — the riddles are not.

What to expect
Your first stop is Cecil Court, a narrow pedestrian alley lined with antiquarian bookshops, print dealers, and map sellers that has been trading since the 18th century and provided inspiration for J.K. Rowling's Diagon Alley.
From there the app takes you to Trafalgar Square, the national gathering place at London's symbolic centre, where Nelson's Column, the National Gallery, and a pair of large bronze lions frame one of the most recognisable public spaces in the world.
The route then leads to Cleopatra's Needle on the Victoria Embankment — a 3,500-year-old Egyptian obelisk that arrived in London in 1878, pre-dating the Trafalgar Square lions, the Houses of Parliament, and most of the city that surrounds it.
Around 2 hours on foot through mostly flat central London. The Strand and the Embankment are pleasant whatever the season.
