Description

A car accident stole your memories. Now you wander the canals of Little Venice, piecing together a past that feels more like a dream. This self-guided puzzle walk blends mystery, history, and beauty across 9 stops in one of London's most picturesque hidden corners. Begin at Alan Turing's birthplace, where the WWII codebreaker becomes your guide. Explore the colourful doors of Bristol Mews, discover Clifton Nurseries (London's oldest garden centre, est. 1851), and walk the Grand Union Canal past painted narrowboats. Meet explorer Amundsen in a local bar and sit beside Rembrandt in the gardens named after him. Each encounter mirrors your own search, building toward a twist that reframes the entire journey. More contemplative than a typical escape game, this walk layers storytelling, real history, and emotional depth into every stop. Play anytime at your own pace using the Questo app. Perfect for a quiet afternoon in a London most visitors never find.

A pleasant boat trip

Always nice to slide through the Regent Canal and contemplate the settlement and housing and gardens, and not least other canal boats. Think of the heavy work that took place here in the last century when this was an important transportation route, and even horses drove sailors and boats through. Suverenous to sit and observe....recommended

Operator response

Tusen takk for den flotte anmeldelsen og anbefalingen! Det er virkelig fantastisk å ta inn den fredelige atmosfæren langs Regent's Canal. Å reflektere over den rike historien og tenke tilbake på tiden da hester dro lektere langs vannet i forrige århundre, er akkurat den typen historisk innlevelse vi håper spillerne våre får oppleve i Little Venice. Vi vil veldig gjerne invitere deg med på et nytt eventyr. Send oss en e-post på explore@questoapp.com, så tilbyr vi deg et gratis spill som en liten takk, klart til din neste reise!

little Venice canal ride

Nice canal ride seeing a part of London not as often visited. If you start the ride so you end in Camden Market, you can then walk around and have lunch. We had very good fish and chips at Poppies.

just to put feed back...

just to put feed back that is cheating there is no canal tour. there is no tour operator at the post code provided

Operator response

If you would just read before you buy, you would see that we don't sell any boat tour, and that we clearly mention that what you get is a self-guided walking activity.

fun little extravaganza in Little Venice

We really enjoyed this experience and felt like it was worth every penny we spent. We saw some really unique parts of London we wouldn't have found without this particular game. It was well executed, the puzzles were fun and not punishing or too difficult. We will look to see if one of these is available in the future on our next trip to a city we are exploring.
