Alchemy Trail offers a symbolic journey through medieval London, tracing the seven stages of transformation in the alchemist’s art — from calcination to coagulation.
As participants navigate the winding alleys of the old City, they will follow a path leading to the Philosopher’s Stone and the secret location of Dick Whittington’s hidden gold.
Clues are integrated into the city itself — coats of arms, carvings, architectural details, and epigraphs. Participants will unlock verses, codes, and fragments of a hidden past, one stage at a time.
The route covers 4km and is completely step-free.
Available in 11 languages (English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Arabic) — no guide is needed.

Not all treasure is made of gold. But some of it is.
This trail wraps the City’s real medieval history in a playful alchemical metaphor. Yes, there really was a Dick Whittington! You’ll find him in all seven stages of alchemy and, in the process, discover the City’s ancient heart still beating behind all that steel and glass.
You’ll start at Tower Hill and pass through places most Londoners have never noticed: secret gardens, lost guilds, ancient hallways and royal residences.
It’s part treasure hunt, part fever dream, and entirely grounded in the City’s medieval streets.
You won’t need a guide — the trail is embedded in the stone and shadow.
Fully playable in 11 languages (English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Arabic) — no guide required.
Starts: Tower Hill Station
