Welcome to LONDONINIUM. This audio walking tour takes in some of London's hidden spots and secret stories. There are two routes to choose from. The longer route is five miles long, and should take two hours to walk. It starts in Wapping, meanders through the City of London, briefly ducks south of the Thames, pops along to Waterloo, and ends in Pall Mall. The shorter route takes in six of the ten stops, all of which are located within the City of London. The shortened walk should take about 30-45 minutes. Each location is accompanied by a short audio piece, bringing to life a person from history associated with that place. The audio pieces can be downloaded as a podcast by either visiting https://www.lbftheatre.com/londoninium or by searching the podcast app for “Londoninium.”
This audio trail has been designed to be a scavenger hunt, where you follow a series of clues to discover each location. If you would like to play, simply download the podcast, and hit play on the prologue episode "Welcome to Londoninium." This episode will introduce you to the audio trail, and give you the clues to the first location. When you've found it, listen to episode one, 'OARS.' At the end of episode 1, you'll be given the clue for the second location. If you ever get stuck, a map and complete list of all the locations with their addresses is at the bottom of this document.
If you prefer to walk the shorter route, please skip the first and last stops, and skip stop 6 (“theatre ghost”).
Here is your clue for the first location:
Wapping is old, and this staircase is the oldest. Head to the river. A beautiful memorial garden catches your eye, but keep going west. You'll find the first location hidden between two buildings. At low tide you can walk down onto the foreshore, and enjoy excellent views of Tower Bridge.
When you've found the location, hit play on episode 1 'OARS.' If you get stuck, consult your map, or consult http://www.lbftheatre.com/londoninium
