Description
A puzzle-filled exploration of the architecture, music and strange secrets that helped make Soho and Covent Garden the iconic areas they are today. Take in the legendary sights and little-known gems of Trafalgar Square, Leceister Square, Seven Dials, Soho Square Gardens, Neal's Yard and more, all while solving escape game-style clues in the city streets and unlocking fascinating facts. Which punk rockers shared a favoured pub with Mozart, centuries apart? What English culinary staple was invented in Covent Garden? Where did London's plague-ridden used to pray? The squares hold many secrets, these are just the tip of the iceberg.
Along the way, expect to see: Waterloo Place, the National Gallery, the studio where Bohemian Rhapsody and Ziggy Stardust were recorded, the birthplace of London's early 20th century cinema scene, a 17th century hotspot for bare-knuckled boxing, plus puzzles, pubs (including one Dickens used to frequent), and plenty of surprises!
