London: Self-Guided Food Treasure Hunt, Walking Tour & Pub Lunch

Additional Information & Description

A puzzle-led walk along the Thames

London’s Self-Guided Food Treasure Hunt, Walking Tour & Pub Lunch combines a riverside walk with riddles, a visit to Borough Market and a traditional pub meal. The route follows the River Thames and takes you through Bankside, with puzzles leading to three classic British stops. Allow three hours for the activity: the food stops and treasure-hunt format make this more than a straightforward walk between landmarks.

Sir Francis Drake’s story gives the hunt its thread. The naval figure from Queen Elizabeth I’s era frames a quest for a hidden relic along the Thames, giving you something to work towards as you follow the route. Solving the clues is part of the visit, rather than simply reading directions from one stop to the next.

Landmarks and Borough Market

The walk passes Tate Modern, Shakespeare’s Globe and the Golden Hinde. These are landmarks along the route, so treat them as points to look out for during the walk rather than separate attraction visits within the activity.

At historic Borough Market, the focus shifts to its offerings and history. Free time here is included, leaving room to browse rather than moving straight on with the hunt. This is the market portion of the visit, distinct from the riverside sightseeing and the pub meal.

What the ticket covers

The ticket includes the self-guided exploration game and a course lunch, with a traditional pub meal forming part of the activity. The game supplies the puzzle-led structure for the walk; the meal provides a sit-down food stop.

A live guide and drinks are excluded. You will follow the activity independently rather than with a guide leading the route, and drinks are separate from the included lunch.

Starting point and arrival

The starting address is 52 Hopton Street, London. Plan to arrive 15 minutes in advance, and keep that arrival window separate from the activity’s stated three-hour duration when arranging your day.

Tickets and access

Tickets are delivered instantly, and smartphone tickets are accepted, so you can present yours on your phone. The activity is also listed as wheelchair accessible.
