London Bridge: Troll Hunt Puzzle Adventure
A rogue troll has set the rules — can you outsmart him before the bridge claims you?
This London Bridge puzzle adventure sends you on a self-guided mission through one of the city's most storied neighbourhoods, chasing clues left by a troll who refuses to release you until his peculiar shopping list is complete. Using the Questo app on your phone, you navigate 12 hidden landmarks across a 2-kilometre route without a guide, at your own pace.
The route weaves through community gardens tucked behind railway arches, past street art on the Low Line, and into a pocket park concealing what may be London's smallest library. Each stop layers local history with an interactive puzzle, revealing details that even long-time Londoners tend to overlook.
The adventure closes at the George Inn, a pub with roots stretching back to the Elizabethan era and a documented connection to Shakespeare. The combination of cryptic clues, coded murals, and genuine historical curiosities makes this a rewarding outing for curious adults and families alike.
The route is rated easy and runs approximately 68 minutes from start to finish, though you are free to linger at any stop. No prior knowledge of London is required, and no guide accompanies the group.

Learn about a 2,000-year-old Roman boat buried beneath a local hospital, one of the area's least-known historical facts.

Itinerary
Your adventure begins at this junction near London Bridge station, where the Questo app delivers the opening clue and sets the troll's story in motion. Solving the first puzzle unlocks directions to the next stop.
Study the sculptural figures for a hidden clue, then look up at the Buzz Substation for the next piece of the puzzle. Both stops reward careful observation and reward attention to architectural detail.
Gibbon's Rent is a narrow alleyway with a character all its own, followed by the Low Line where a coded mural waits to be deciphered. You are welcome to pause and explore each location before moving on.
The pocket park conceals London's smallest library alongside a community garden behind railway arches. Nearby, the boat sculpture outside Guy's Cancer Centre connects the present to a Roman-era vessel discovered underground.
A living wall planted with air-filtering species marks one of the final puzzle stops. Collect your clue here before heading to the conclusion of the hunt.
The route ends at this historic galleried inn, where the troll's shopping list is finally satisfied and the story reaches its conclusion. The pub itself is a National Trust property and one of London's most atmospheric surviving historic inns.
