London is a huge city, but its heart is easy to explore on foot. Between the Thames and the great royal parks there are squares, palaces and wide avenues. The story of the kingdom passed along them in carriages. With Piracity you discover it as you walk, like a treasure hunt for the whole family.
Paradas para descobrir
Trafalgar Square
Trafalgar Square is the great square in the heart of London, dedicated to Nelson's naval victory of 1805. It has a very tall column, four bronze lions and two fountains.
Admiralty Arch
Admiralty Arch is the great curved arch that separates Trafalgar Square from the avenue of royal parades. Edward VII had it built in memory of Queen Victoria, and it was finished in 1912.
Horse Guards Parade
Horse Guards Parade is London's great parade ground, in front of the building of the guards on horseback. Every June it hosts the parade for the king's official birthday.
Big Ben
Big Ben is the great bell in the clock tower of the Houses of Parliament, in Westminster. The tower, 96 metres tall, has been called Elizabeth Tower since 2012.
Westminster Abbey
Westminster Abbey is the great Gothic church in London where English monarchs have been crowned since 1066. It is also the burial place of kings, queens, scientists and poets.
St James's Park
St James's Park is the oldest of London's royal parks, in Westminster along the Mall. Its lake has two islands and a famous colony of pelicans.
Buckingham Palace
Buckingham Palace has been the official London residence of British monarchs since 1837. It is also the working headquarters of the monarchy, where state banquets and ceremonies take place.
The sights along the route
The walk visits seven places in the centre, all close to each other. You pass beneath the most famous clock tower in the world, the one everybody calls Big Ben. You also stroll along the paths of St James's Park, the park of the pelicans. The rest you will discover stop by stop: arches, squares, soldiers on horseback and ancient churches.
It is about 3 km on foot on almost flat streets, and about 3 hours of play, plus your breaks. The route does not return to the starting point and ends close to public transport.
History and culture, lived through play
Every stop tells a piece of history. There are kings and queens, Victorian architects, clockmakers and soldiers in uniform. There are questions about art and traditions, riddles, anagrams and little logic puzzles. The questions are designed for children from age 9 and for their parents.
You do not need to know everything already. Some answers are found by looking carefully at what is in front of you, others by thinking together. That way a walk becomes a challenge to play as a team.
An adventure that continues
When the hunt is over, London still has plenty to offer families. The great royal parks have enormous lawns and ponds. In Kensington Gardens there is even a playground dedicated to Peter Pan. From the south bank of the Thames you can see the whole city, while the riverboats glide under the bridges.
At the Natural History Museum the dinosaur skeletons are waiting for you. Every neighbourhood has its own story: the next hunt is waiting for you.
