'Historic Shoreditch' Treasure Hunt - can you find the treasure?

Come along on Sunday 7th September for a treasure hunt around Shoreditch!

The treasure hunts are a good way to get to know an area whilst meeting new people.

About Shoreditch
The area used to be known as "Soersditch" which translates as "Sewer Ditch", in reference to a drain or watercourse in what was once a boggy area.

Shoreditch was centred on St Leonard's Church at the crossroads where Shoreditch High Street and Kingsland Road are crossed by Old Street and Hackney Road. This junction is where two Roman roads crossed, going east/west from Colchester and Silchester and North/South from Lincoln and London.

How it works
Come along at 1:30pm and you will be randomly divided into teams of 3 people (or you can choose your own team beforehand). For fairness, any London Guides or Blue Badge Tour Guides won't be allowed to take part.

Then each team will be given 15-20 written clues which you have to find the answers for. It's up to your team to work together to find the answers. You can answer them in any order and you will be provided with a map of the area to help you. It's not a race, so you can take your time getting to know the southbank.

All the answers to the clues will be found on the statues and blue plaques.

The treasure hunts are a good way to get to know an area whilst meeting and getting to know new people!

Prizes
The team to get the most correct answers and then return to base (a local pub) will win book vouchers for Waterstones bookshops of £10 per person.

If more than one team gets the top score, there will be a tie break question back at the pub.

A £5 gift voucher per person will be given to each member of the team coming in second place and prizes will be given to each member of the team with the best team name.
