HMS Belfast is a museum ship, originally a Royal Navy light cruiser, permanently moored in London on the River Thames and operated by the Imperial War Museum.</p>
<p>Fittingly, HMS Belfast, named after the capital city of Northern Ireland, was launched on St Patrick's Day, 17 March 1938. It was initially part of the British naval blockade against Germany and in November 1939 struck a German mine and spent more than two years undergoing extensive repairs. HMS Belfast returned to action in November 1942 with improved firepower, radar equipment and armour, making it the largest and arguably most powerful cruiser in the Royal Navy at the time. During 1943, HMS Belfast saw action escorting Arctic convoys to the Soviet Union and played an important role in the Battle of North Cape, assisting in the destruction of the German warship Scharnhorst. In June 1944, HMS Belfast took part in Operation Overlord supporting the Normandy landings. Shortly before the end of the Second World War, HMS Belfast was redeployed to the Far East to join the British Pacific Fleet. HMS Belfast saw further combat action in 1950–52 during the Korean War before undergoing extensive modernisation between 1956 and 1959. A number of further overseas commissions followed before Belfast entered reserve in 1963.</p>
<p>In 1971 the government decided against preserving HMS Belfast as a museum ship, prompting the formation of the private HMS Belfast Trust to campaign for her preservation. The efforts of the Trust were successful and the government transferred the ship to the Trust in July 1971. Brought to London, HMS Belfast was moored on the River Thames in the Pool of London and opened to the public in October 1971. Belfast became a branch of the Imperial War Museum in 1978. A popular tourist attraction, Belfast receives around a quarter of a million visitors per year.</p>

ShortDescription:
<p>Red Lion Square features a pleasant mid-town park with some interesting sculptures and an open-air cafe for those in need of refreshment. You are looking for some easy clues at the published location and then for a non-standard magnetic container.</p>
<p><strong>Please replace with care exactly where found to facilitate a quick grab for the next geocacher and close the ZIP LOCK to make sure the container is sealed again against the elements. </strong></p>

<h1>London Livery</h1>
<h1>The cache</h1>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">35mm film canister with magnet on the side located near an <i>old place for trade</i> some where within the old city walls (well, the narrows it down a little bit!). Sorry I couldn’t manage anything larger but it is hard to find reasonably large secure places.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">As with a lot of urban caches you’ll need to be sensitive of local residents, gardeners and passers by. Be aware of potential watchers (whether in homes or offices or via security cameras). However, if you are approached by either Police or Security Officers avoid acting suspiciously and explain what you are doing.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Avoid doing the actual cache discovery during the weekday lunch hour or commute times. Relatively quiet in the evening or weekend (the City is wonderful to walk through at the weekend).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Buggy and wheelchair friendly (wheel chair user might possibily need an assistant for the actual cache recovery)</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">All the stages are 24 hour access. You can do the sites in any order but doing them in the order I list below (or in reverse) makes for a pleasant walk.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Once you’ve found it: <b><span style="color:red;">*** make sure it goes back where you found it. This is so it will be there for those who come after you and not discovered by those who shouldn’t find it ***</span></b></span></p>
<h1>Getting started</h1>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">This is a walk around some of Halls of the London Livery Companies. If you follow the steps in order you’ll pass a number of the main City tourist spots (including</span> <span style="font-family:Arial;">St Paul</span><span style="font-family:Arial;">’s,</span> <span style="font-family:Arial;">Museum</span> <span style="font-family:Arial;">of</span> <span style="font-family:Arial;">London</span><span style="font-family:Arial;">, the Old Bailey and the Millennium (Wobbly) Bridge across to the South Bank. If you are a visitor to</span> <span style="font-family:Arial;">London</span> <span style="font-family:Arial;">this could be a nice way to spend part of an afternoon or morning.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">As this is a City cache and GPS can be unreliable, I have provided a street name in the hint for each stage – if you are hardcore you can just work from the coords given. Generally the coordinates are for roughly the front entrance of the Hall in question, you might need to look around the Hall area to get the actual answer.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">It took me just under two hours to walk around the route starting from the final cache, but the included looking for interesting things to ask you about – then again I knew where I was going to be going!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">The starting coordinates for this cache are the Guild Hall – no clues here, but it appropriate given the relationship between the Livery Companies and the City. Have a look in the museum here if you can and see if you get to meet the giants <a href="http://www.lordmayorsshow.org/visitors/history/gogmagog">gog and magog</a></span></p>
<h1>What is a Livery Company?</h1>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">[Extracted from the Corporation of the City of</span> <span style="font-family:Arial;">London</span> <span style="font-family:Arial;">web site – <a href="http://www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/Corporation/leisure_heritage/livery/history.htm" title="Link to City of London Livery History page">link here</a> ]</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">“The livery companies probably had their origins in this country before 1066. Guilds (or mysteries, from the Latin 'misterium', meaning professional skill) flourished throughout</span> <span style="font-family:Arial;">Europe</span> <span style="font-family:Arial;">for many centuries.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">The development of guilds in</span> <span style="font-family:Arial;">Britain</span> <span style="font-family:Arial;">was not confined to</span> <span style="font-family:Arial;">London</span><span style="font-family:Arial;">. The Cutlers of Hallamshire in</span> <span style="font-family:Arial;">Sheffield, the Merchant Venturers of Bristol and the Fellmongers of Richmond in</span> <span style="font-family:Arial;">Yorkshire</span> <span style="font-family:Arial;">are examples of those still in existence around</span> <span style="font-family:Arial;">Britain</span><span style="font-family:Arial;">.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">The word 'guild' derives from the Saxon word for payment, since membership of these fraternities was (and is) paid for. The word 'livery' refers to uniform clothing as means of identification. Today, new companies in their formative years are usually referred to as guilds.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">The early companies were the medieval equivalent of trading standards departments, checking quality of goods and weights and measures. They also controlled imports, set wages and working conditions and trained apprentices. After many years of fierce dispute, an order of precedence for livery companies was finally settled in 1515, starting with Mercers at number one.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Today City street</span> <span style="font-family:Arial;">names - such as</span> <span style="font-family:Arial;">Milk Street</span><span style="font-family:Arial;">,</span> <span style="font-family:Arial;">Bread Street</span><span style="font-family:Arial;">,</span> <span style="font-family:Arial;">Ironmonger Lane</span><span style="font-family:Arial;">, Poultry, Cloth Fair and Mason's Avenue - mark the sites where it all began.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;color:black;">The Livery has a continuing role in commerce and trade. Several companies still have a statutory or regulatory role - for example <a href="http://www.thegoldsmiths.co.uk/" target="_blank"><span class="hyperlink3"><span style="font-family:Arial;">the Goldsmiths' Company</span></span></a>, which since 1300 has been responsible for assaying (testing for purity) and marking gold and silver wares. From 1478 these wares were required to be brought to its hall for testing, the origin of the word 'hallmark'. Today the Goldsmiths continue to run the London Assay Office where several million articles of gold, silver and platinum are hallmarked each year.</span><span style="font-family:Arial;">”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Perhaps, surprisingly, there are 107 Livery Companies in the City today (look <a href="http://www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/Corporation/leisure_heritage/livery/linklist.htm" title="Link to list of London Livery Companies">here</a> for a list – see how many of the professions you recognise). As well as the commercial and trade angle, all have strong charitable aims.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Whilst practically all the Livery Companies have their own web sites, you can find nice overall summaries (including some pictures and potted history) on the <a href="http://www.london-footprints.co.uk/artliveryhalls.htm">London Footprints Livery Halls Page</a> the cache route broadly follows the walk described <a href="http://www.london-footprints.co.uk/wkliveryhallsroute.htm" title="Link to London Footprints Livery Halls Walk">here</a> . London Footprints is a great source of short walks around the City and</span> <span style="font-family:Arial;">London</span> <span style="font-family:Arial;">area.</span></p>
<h1><span style="font-family:Arial;">Step One: The Girdlers Company</span></h1>
<h1><span style="font-family:Arial;color:black;">N 51° 31.023 W 000° 05.452</span></h1>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">The Foundation Stone for the Hall was laid 9<sup>th</sup> May 1960, but when did J Codbolt and the Girdlers Company declare their ownership of a near by wall? <b> </b>1<b><u>A</u></b>54.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">The scaffolding around the <i>front</i> of the building shouldn’t prevent you from getting this. The answer is visible from the street; you do not need to gain access to the Girdlers garden.</span></p>
<h1><span style="font-family:Arial;">Step Two: The Pewterers</span></h1>
<h1><span style="font-family:Arial;color:black;">N 51° 30.998 W 000° 05.704</span></h1>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">The Pewterers first hall was founded in around 1496. These premises date from 1961. How many small engraved stone panels are there between the flag pole and the main double front doors? This will be <b><u>B</u></b>.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-family:Arial;color:#3366FF;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-family:Arial;color:#3366FF;">Between Step Two and Step Three you pass by Noble St look at the large well preserved section of the old City Walls here. The panels provide a good commentary on what you are seeing.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-family:Arial;color:#3366FF;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-family:Arial;color:#3366FF;">The</span> <span style="font-family:Arial;color:#3366FF;">Museum</span> <span style="font-family:Arial;color:#3366FF;">of</span> <span style="font-family:Arial;color:#3366FF;">London</span> <span style="font-family:Arial;color:#3366FF;">is just across London Wall (very well worth a visit).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-family:Arial;color:#3366FF;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-family:Arial;color:#3366FF;">There are a number of other caches in this area</span></p>
<h1><span style="font-family:Arial;">Step Three: The Poulterers</span></h1>
<h1><span style="font-family:Arial;color:black;">N 51° 30.956 W 000° 05.916</span></h1>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">This is a virtual hall! The Great Fire of London got this one (1666), but when was The Poulterers’ Hall built? 16<b><u>C</u></b>0.</span></p>
<h1><span style="font-family:Arial;">Step Four: The Culters</span></h1>
<h1><span style="font-family:Arial;color:black;">N 51° 30.936 W 000° 06.049</span></h1>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Whilst the majority of Livery Companies keep their goodies inside (and they do have some very impressive goodies), the Cutlers Company Hall has a wonderful frieze on the exterior that explains the old manufacturing process.  There are explanatory notes on the fence that explain the various activities depicted in the frieze – I <i>strongly</i> suggest you read this. How many individuals are there in the frieze (look very carefully)? 3<b><u>D</u></b>.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-family:Arial;color:#3366FF;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-family:Arial;color:#3366FF;">The Old Bailey is just around the corner.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-family:Arial;color:#3366FF;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-family:Arial;color:#3366FF;">Between Step Four and Step Five you pass</span> <span style="font-family:Arial;color:#3366FF;">St Paul</span><span style="font-family:Arial;color:#3366FF;">’s on the left.</span></p>
<h1><span style="font-family:Arial;">Step Five: The Apothecaries</span></h1>
<h1><span style="font-family:Arial;color:black;">N 51° 30.788 W 000° 06.197</span></h1>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">We go from one Hall that has a lot of interesting things on the outside, to one that as hardly anything with a number on it. There are plenty of interesting things in the court yard – have a peek in if it is open. As I’ve tried to make the stages of this cache 24x7 I’ve had to choose something external near by the entrance. 150 (or perhaps 180 - somebody said it might have changed) is supported by what number? This will be <b><u>E</u></b>.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-family:Arial;color:#3366FF;">There are other caches near here.</span></p>
<h1><span style="font-family:Arial;">Step Six: The Painter Stainers</span></h1>
<h1><span style="font-family:Arial;color:black;">N 51° 30.719 W 000° 05.680</span></h1>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">The first hall bequeathed to the company in 1532 was destroyed in the Great Fire and rebuilt in 1670. It was repaired in 1776, extended in 1880 and reconstructed 1914-6. The present enlarged hall was opened in 1961. The question is which month of the year did J C Nicholson et el lay the foundation stone of the current premises (January = 1)? This will be <b><u>F</u></b>.</span></p>

<h1><span style="font-family:Arial;color:black;">N 51° 30.653 W 000° 05.485</span></h1>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">There was a hall on the site by 1521 which was destroyed in the Great Fire and rebuilt in 1670.</span> <span style="font-family:Arial;">Walter Cronin was Master and John Wylde was Renter Warden between 1920 – 192<b><u>G</u></b>.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family:Arial;">Just to make guessing a little more difficult, I’ve used modulo 10 arithmetic. In simplest terms, what this means is that if the result is ten or more you just remove the tens – so 14 would become 4, 10 would become 0, 21 would become 1. Only apply the modulo rule once you’ve fully worked the bracket – so (9+2-3) becomes 8 and (8+4+5) becomes 7. None of the sums should result in a negative number, so you don’t need to worry about how to do negative modulo ten arithmetic.</span></b></p>

LongDescription:
A box of Watson’s memorabilia of Sherlock Holmes has been stolen from his club in Piccadilly. A note left at the scene of the crime tells you that <a href="http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=ef78423f-1d0b-4048-a88e-e15174f554a1">the booty</a> is hidden at the following co-ordinates -<br />
<p align="center"><b>North AB CD.Q(N-Q)E</b><br />
<b>West HJ GK.P(M-F)E</b></p>
To turn the letters to numbers, you have to visit a series of London locations suggested by the thief (is the evil Moriarty playing with you?). The virtual caches are independent of each other, so you can visit them in any order. It is possible to complete this in one day, and to do so, we suggest you follow the caches in ascending numerical order to save yourself journey time and costs. However, each cache is chosen to be in an interesting, and hopefully slightly less well-known, area of London - so you may prefer to explore the area around each of them. Bring a guide book!<br />

<h1>From a Swan to the Canary</h1>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A series of caches from Swan Pier to Canary Wharf using the Riverside (Thames) path. The journey will take you past the Tower of London, through the St Katharine Docks (a separate mystery cache “Katherine and Thomas” to try there), then through the Hermitage Basin of the old Western docks on to Shadwell Basin before rejoining the Thames past Limehouse basin before reaching Docklands. A wide variety of cache styles from nanos to regulars.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As with a lot of urban caches you’ll need to be sensitive of local residents and be aware of potential watchers (whether in homes or offices or via security cameras). However, if you are approached by either Police or Security Officers avoid acting suspiciously and explain what you are doing.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I would recommend avoiding doing this one during weekday commute and lunch times. A good selection of pubs and restaurants towards the end of the series.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When we set this series my friend was taking photos using a camera mounted on a tripod: a wonderful excuse to hang around a particular area without attracting too much attention!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Good public transport connections at either end, the Docklands Light Railway is generally not too far away in the section between St Katharine Docks and Lime House Basin.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">No need to go into any private areas or onto flowerbeds etc for any of these. Generally flat and well paved throughout.</p>

Ian Fleming, the genius who created James Bond, secret agent 007, was born on the 28th May 1908.<br />
He died of heart failure on 12th August 1964 at the age of 56.</p>
<p>Throughout 2008 his centenary, a year-long programme of events took place to celebrate his life, his legacy as a writer, and the amazing impact that his fictional creation has had not only in Britain but all around the world, and also to raise money for charity.</p>
<p>At the London Palladium on 5th October 2008, a glittering Gala took place raising £90,000 for the British Heart Foundation.</p>
<p>He lived here, now the blue plaque resides there</p>

To mark the centenary of Fleming the Royal Mail, issued stamps in January 2008, they sold out faster than those of the Beatles.<br />
Over 100,000 people visited the exhibition at the Imperial War Museum, For Your Eyes Only – Ian Fleming and James Bond, in April 2008.<br />
A second exhibition, Bond Bound: Ian Fleming and the Art of Cover Design, was opened at the Fleming Collection in Mayfair, London. It later travelled to Edinburgh, New York and LA,</p>
<p>Since the publication of Casino Royale in 1953, over 100 million Bond novels have been sold. In 2008, to mark Fleming’s centenary, new hardback editions of the 14 books with striking new covers were published.</p>
<p>In contrast almost the last book Fleming wrote was that much-loved children’s story about a car that flies – Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.</p>

<big><b>More about the gardens</b></big><br />
The medieval church was devastated by bombs in World War II, leaving the interior just an empty shell. But the ruins and the Wren Tower have become dramatic frames for the imaginative planting of wall shrubs and climbers.<br />
<br />
The gardens are an extraordinary example of a small open space in the City which makes the maximum use of scarce resources. The City of London Architects and Parks Departments won a <i>Landscape Heritage Award</i> in 1976 for their imaginative work. This <a href="http://www.gardensofthecityoflondon.co.uk/page24.html" target="_blank">collection of photos</a> will give you some idea of the treat you have in store when you visit.<br />
<br />
Visit this history of <a href="http://london.lovesguide.com/dunstan-in-the-east.htm" target="_blank">the bells of St Dunstan-in-the-East</a> for another collection of old photographs and engravings of the original church - and for detailed information on the Wren tower and the bells that once hung there. Scrolling down the page will reveal some fascinating stories from people who knew the tower well (including someone who actually lived in the tower for a while!)<br />
<br />
This green oasis is just a five minute walk from Monument underground station - and the same distance from Tower Hill. The gardens are supposed to be open <i>from dawn to dusk</i>, every day of the year (apart from some Bank Holidays, Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day). <b>The gardens sometimes close early without prior notice</b>, so don't go too late. There is no charge for entry.<br />
<br />
The gardens are overlooked by offices, so a little stealth is required. There are plenty of benches where you can sit undisturbed to write-up the logbook. Local office workers love to eat their sandwiches here, so it gets very busy during the week at lunchtimes. Outside of office hours the whole area becomes eerily quiet and there is considerably less risk.<br />

LongDescription:
Bond Street is a major shopping street in the West End of London that runs north-south through Mayfair between Oxford Street and Piccadilly. It has been a fashionable shopping street since the 18th century and is currently the home of many high price fashion shops. The southern section is known as Old Bond Street, and the northern section, which is rather more than half the total length, is known as New Bond Street. This distinction, however, is not generally made in everyday usage. It is one of the most expensive strip of real estate in the world

*** This is part of the Tigglets Tiggopoly cache series, inspired by Firelanterns Flonopoly. This series will eventually contain all the streets on the monopoly board. The caches will be become available one by one as they are hidden and approved of. The number in the name of the cache is to identify the order they were hidden in and is not to be followed as the order to find them in.***

LongDescription:
The Alaska Building was originally opened in 1869 for working Alaskan seal fur, it had a staff of 'clerks, shavers, blubberers, fleshers, dyers, tubbers and top-hatted wing-collared aproned craftsmen'. Only the brick entrance gates with the carving of an Alaskan seal on its façade remain of the old factory. Behind the gate stands a clean white art deco building made by the Architect Wallis Gilbert, who also designed the Hoover buildings in London. Originally the workmen would work endless shifts with barrels of beer instead of canteens and play spontaneous games of football. As working techniques and demands changed, the factory was continuously added to or rebuilt. It was bombed twice in WWll. In the fifties it had its first canteen, organised sports teams and new regulations about working hours, all of which seem to be reflected in the clean white scientific new building.

LongDescription:
The cache should not be too hard albeit there are a lot of opportunities to be overlooked!!

Near to the Girdlers Hall 

The Girdlers company developed from a craftsmen's guild. Today the company is more involved in charity and educational work

The site of the hall has been owned since 1431 and was extended in 1505. Following destruction in the Great Fire it was rebuilt in 1681 but destroyed again in 1940. The present building of 1961 was designed by C Ripley and has an Indian carpet of 1634 and a garden with a mulberry tree.

As with a lot of urban caches you’ll need to be sensitive of local residents and be aware of potential watchers (whether in offices or via security cameras). However, if you are approached by either Police or Security Officers avoid acting suspiciously and explain what you are doing.

The cache can be retrieved in a wheelchair. Please make sure you are careful putting it back and that it goes back exactly where you found it.

The coordinates take you to the wall of a building, study the wall
carefully.It is made of Jura Limestone from the Jura mountains in
Germany. This area gave its name to the Jurassic period which you
may recognise from the film Jurassic Park!<br />
<p>This stone formed under water in seas which were walm when small
partictles of calcium carbonate precipitated out of the sea water .
It piled up over the years to form this lime stone . There were
creatures living in the sea and their remains fell to the bottom of
the sea and were covered by the small particles of calicum
carbonate and were incorporated into the limestone.<br />
If you look carefully you will see two types of fossils. They are
very distinct and well known. They are the remains of creatures
which are now extinct.<br />
In Britain these fossils were known as snakes stone and
thunderbolts or thunder-arrows or thunderstones.<br />
These names will give you an idea of the shapes you are looking
for.<br />
To claim this earthcache you must email me with the answers to the
following questions.<br /></p>
<p>1) Please measure the two types of fossils and send me their
measurements?<br /></p>
<p>2) What are the names of of the two types of fossils?<br /></p>
<p>3) Please describe the two types of fossils<br /></p>
<p>4) Please post to your on line log photographs with your GPS of
any other fossils you find in the stone panels which clad this
building.<br /></p>
<p>There are many particularly round the back in Plantation Lane
where there is also a good puzzle cache GC168D7 "Moonlit Alley "
and it was while collecting the information for that cache, I
discovered these fossils!</p>

Hints:
General Hint  To find the fossils look on the stone panel below the "P" in the "Plantation Place" Sign


Hint for Question One. Use a ruler!

Hint for Question Two. The fossils are very well known and I only want the name for the the particular  type of fossil.. There are vague shapes in the stone which are the fossils of sponges and algae but the  fossils I want you to find have  very sharp and  clear outlines.

<p>The original Christ Church Down Street building was erected in 1865 as a new parish church for this corner of Mayfair.</p>
<p>The church is a hidden treasure with many stained glass windows which if you are lucky and the light is right show many biblical scenes, something that is becoming a little rarer these days!</p>
<p>The congregation and the building surroundings have varied enormously over the years.</p>
<p>At the beginning of her married life, Mary, Princess Royal (daughter of George V) attended this church, and her letters record her enormous affection for the congregation here.</p>
<p>The church was closed in the 1990s until a new congregation launched a few years ago.</p>
<p>Christ Church Mayfair reopened in January 2001</p>
<p>As with many churches in London access is not always available, in fact it is rare out of scheduled services.</p>
<p>At the coords you need to find some info…<br />

The coordinates above will take you to Barbican underground station, where your challenge begins.<br />
<br />
Start by crossing the road and facing the western entrance of the Beech Street Tunnel. Your hunt will take you through the tunnel.<br />
<br />
There are no additional waypoints here but the answers to all the questions below can be found on your walk along Beech Street.<br />
<br />
To help you a little, they all appear in order. So if you find the answer to clue 5 and miss answer 4, it's safe to say that the answer to clue 4 is somewhere behind clue 5 on the street.<br />
<br />
Use the answers to construct the final coords for GZ, the magnetic keyholder, which is hidden somewhere towards the end of the tunnel.<br />
<br />
Good luck<br />

<h1>From a Swan to the Canary</h1>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A series of caches from Swan Pier to Canary Wharf using the Riverside (Thames) path. The journey will take you past the Tower of London, through the St Katharine Docks (a separate mystery cache “Katherine and Thomas” to try there), then through the Hermitage Basin of the old Western docks on to Shadwell Basin before rejoining the Thames past Limehouse basin before reaching Docklands. A wide variety of cache styles from nanos to regulars.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As with a lot of urban caches you’ll need to be sensitive of local residents and be aware of potential watchers (whether in homes or offices or via security cameras). However, if you are approached by either Police or Security Officers avoid acting suspiciously and explain what you are doing.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I would recommend avoiding doing this one during weekday commute and lunch times. A good selection of pubs and restaurants towards the end of the series.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When we set this series my friend was taking photos using a camera mounted on a tripod: a wonderful excuse to hang around a particular area without attracting too much attention!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Good public transport connections at either end, the Docklands Light Railway is generally not too far away in the section between St Katharine Docks and Lime House Basin.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">No need to go into any private areas or onto flowerbeds etc for any of these. Generally flat and well paved throughout.</p>
<h1>The cache: Tower – Save me!</h1>

LongDescription:
There are 2 caches like this, an Inner (central) city cache, this one, and an outer (suburban) city cache, which i'm hoping to do after this one is done! The second one is much longer but if you get the hang of this one you will get the hang of the other, longer, one.  
Before you start, Let me clear up a few hinderinces that may occur. 
Firstly, I would strongly suggest walking (or push scootering like I did ;)) because a car will be a massive nuisence to park and then be stuck in traffic and so on, a bike may be good but still inadvisable due to the potential danger of looking at your GPS while you cycle. So walking is probably the safest option.  
Secondly, this is a long walk, so plan ahead. Don't start at 6pm because you while finish probably after midnight... Honestly... 
Lastly, the final location, where the cache is placed, is NOT 24HR. NOT!!! I think the opening times are 7:30am til dusk, whenever that may be... so if you do finish late, don't waste your energy in going to the final on the same day as the park will be shut. Go the next morning...   
Right, from start to finish the route is, I would say, 20 miles? But the great thing about long Mulit Caches is that you can always pick some Trad. Caches along the way, even do some little Multi's as well! I'll try and add some other Cache GC codes in the Description so you can easily locate caches close to thewaypoints! Anyway, onto the cache itself: As a reward for your amazing effort in journing around London, I am placing a medium sized cache in a nice little park in London so you can swap TBs and whatnot. I'm pretty sure you can do the whole trip through Google Street View, and I'm not stopping you but if you want to have a nice day out in London, then I would advise you against it :) 
Speeding onto the waypoints, here are 10 waypoints, all placed near awesome bits of London. Each waypoint has a number which you must find and keep to get the final coordinates, but I think you know how Multi's work :) Oh and one last thing, the thrip and waypoints are laid out for a smooth and flowing walk so you could do the waypoints in a random fashion, but I think the way I set them out is the easiest way around the route. 
The Coordinates are laid out like this: N51 AB.CDE W000 FG.HIJ   

Waypoint 1: Hyde Park Corner, Wellington Arch (START) 
The coordinates bring you to this amazing archway, built in the the late 1820s by a man named Decimus Burton.  He built it after the George the 4th wanted to commemarate the Napoleonic Wars. It was an entrance to Hyde Park but was later moved, in 1882. To collect your number for the cache, find a plaque on the side of the arch. On the plaque, if you read it, you will find 2 roman numeral numbers. You need the top one, where it says 'Edward ...' Decipher the Roman Numeral to get a normal number. This will be C

Waypoint 2: Marble Arch 
Here we are at another arch, also built in the late 1820s but not for an entrance to the park, as the location may suggest, but as an entrance to Buckingham Palace. It also had to be moved because Park Lane was being widened and the arch just couldn't fit, so they positioned it up north, where it is now. Now for the number. These coordinates should bring you to a lightpost. What are the numbers on it? Wait, there are two numbers?!?! No panic! subtract the first number from the second, which should be 0, to get A

Waypoint 3: Oxford Circus   
This is the real London. The hustle and bustle of the centre of a big city. Oxford Street and Regent Street, which intersect here, have masses of shops, which is why masses of people flock here every weekend. So while out on this multi maybe you could stop by and admire the shirts, dresses, Tvs, and anything else the catches the eye? Anyway, the coordinates bring you to a street sign where it says:'Regent Street W1 City of Westminster' and below it are two 3 figured numbers. The first 3 figured number is what you need. Add the first two numbers and you will get B

Well worth going for half a day, you will learn a super lot more than this walk :D The numbers however can be found at the coordinates. You will need the house number at which the coordinates bring you to. The first number of the house number will give you D

Also a very intriguing building with a ton of interesting things to be found out about. One of the biggest libraries in London, if not the biggest.. The number can be found on the lightpost at the coordinates. You only need the first number on the lightpost (or the top number, however you look at it) which gives you F

Waypoint 6: Spitalfields Market 
This Old market has been here for over 350 years, ever since Charles the first gave permission to sell 'flesh, fowl and roots, on Spittle Fields. This fell apart but Charles the second brought it back to life and then it grew to what we know it to be. For the number, you need to be at the posted coordinates, where you will find a Barclays Bike Hire station (Highly recommend you ride around on these if you are visiting London. Pretty cheap and amazingly quick. You will see London in less than 2 days with these things!) Behind the Bike station is yet another lightpost (SORRY!!!) What is the number on it? You need the second one (or bottom) which is E
Caches nearby: None too close.. :(

Waypoint 7: Tower Bridge
Only the most famous bridge in England... It is a raising bridge, which means that every time a big boat comes into London, the bridge has to open for the boat to pass.  Quite a spectical in my opinion. Now for the number, the answer could potentially be quite ambiguous. At the coordinates, if you can see The Gherkin, then the letter G is 1, but if you cant, then the letter G is 0. If it's foggy and you don't know if you can see it or not, then I will allow you to check on Google Street View. BUT ONLY THIS WAYPOINT!!! :)

Famous for writing plays such as 'Romeo and Juliet' and 'A Midsummer night's dream', he is inspirational beyond belief.  If you have a chance, go to a play at the Globe. It is a once in a lifetime experience.. Trust me :). The number you are seeking for is at the coordinates. There is a restaurant with a house number. The second number of the house number is H

LongDescription:
The famous courage dray horses were stabled on this site from the<br />
early nineteenth century and delivered beer around London from the<br />
brewery on Horselydown Lane, by Tower Bridge. In the sixteenth<br />
century this area was known as Horselydown which derives its name<br />
from Horse-Lie-Down, a thing that they did here before crossing the<br />
river at London Bridge to enter the City of London.<br />
<p>According to the sculptor (Shirley Pace, 1987) : "My objective<br />
was to portray the dignified tolerance and the power of these<br />
horses plus the hint of resignation to men’s direction and<br />
the vagaries of a cold wet windy winter."<br />
<br />
The sculpture was lowered into place by helicopter.<br />
<br /></p>
This part of London was known as 'Jacob's Island'.<br />
Jacob's Island was immortalised by Charles Dickens's novel Oliver Twist, in which the principal villain Bill Sikes meets a nasty end in the mud of 'Folly Ditch'. Dickens provides a vivid description of what it was like:<br />
<br />
<i>""... crazy wooden galleries common to the backs of half a dozen houses, with holes from which to look upon the slime beneath; windows, broken and patched, with poles thrust out, on which to dry the linen that is never there; rooms so small, so filthy, so confined, that the air would seem to be too tainted even for the dirt and squalor which they shelter; wooden chambers thrusting themselves out above the mud and threatening to fall into it - as some have done; dirt-besmeared walls and decaying foundations, every repulsive lineament of poverty, every loathsome indication of filth, rot, and garbage: all these ornament the banks of Jacob's Island."</i><br />
<br />
It was also described by Henry Hayhew as:<br />
<br />
<i>"On entering the precincts of the pest island the air had literally the smell of a graveyard, and a feeling of nausea and heaviness came over any one unaccustomed to imbibe the moist atmosphere. Not only the nose, but the stomach told how heavily the air was loaded with sulphuretted hydrogen; and as soon as you crossed one of the crazy and rotten bridges over the reeking ditch, you knew, as surely as if you had chemically tested it, by the black colour of what was once white lead paint upon the door posts and window sills, that the air was thickly charged with this deadly gas. The heavy bubbles which now and then rose up in the water showed you whence at least a portion of the mephitic compound issued, while the open doorless privies that hung over the water-side, and the dark streaks of filth down the walls, where the drains from each house discharged themselves in to the ditch were proofs indisputable as to how the pollution of the ditch occurred.<br />
<br />
The water was covered with scum almost like a cobweb, and prismatic with grease. In it floated large masses of rotting weed, and against the posts of the bridges were swollen carcases of dead animals, ready to burst with the gases of putrefaction. Along its shores were heaps of indescribable filth, the phosphoretted smell from which told you of the rotting fish there, while the oyster-shells were like pieces of slate from their coating of filth and mud. In some parts the fluid was as red as blood from the colouring matter that poured into it from the reeking leather dressers’ close by."</i><br />
<br />
Its not quite that bad these days.

LongDescription:
The parish of St James Clerkenwell has had a long and sometimes
lively history. The area where the current church now stands has
been a place of worship for almost 900 years. The most recent
volume in English Heritage's Survey of London, published in 2007,
describes the architecture and buildings of Clerkenwell. The nearby
Finsbury Library is also the home of the Islington Local History
Centre. Of course the best way to see St James is in real life.
Visitors are always welcome and the church is open to visitors
10am-2pm Mon-Fri. But the best time to see it is, naturally, on a
Sunday morning when it is full of people!
<p>
--------------------------------------------------------------------</p>
<p>If anybody would like to expand this series please do, I would
just ask that you could let sadexploration know first so he can
keep track of the Church numbers and names to avoid
duplication.</p>

ShortDescription:
This cache is an extension of the Sadexploration series of Church
Micro's.
<p>The cache is a small tube with a magnet attached, bring
something to get the log out with (e.g. tweezers) as it's rather
fiddly.</p>
<p>The difficulty rating is due to the location and need for
stealth (especially at lunchtimes)</p>

<p><strong>This Cache:</strong> This cache marks another of the famous wells that lined the banks of the River Fleet. The actual well can be seen from street level through an office block window, Wells Court ( N 51 31.374 W 0 06.394). This is about 100m down the road from GZ on the left hand side. Take a look through the office window. You will also see the Clerk's Well plaque on the wall here.</p>

<p>The Clerk's well gave its name to this whole area. Clerken was the middle english genitive plural of 'clerk', hence Clerkenwell. In the middle ages the London Parish clerks performed annual mystery plays here, based on biblical themes.The well was mentioned by William Fitzstephen in his description of the city of London as early as 1174. Until the dissolotion of the monasteries by Henry VIII the well was located in the boundary of wall of the large St. Mary's Nunnery which lay to the east of this location. After the nunnery closed, and Ray Street was built, the well was accessed in a basement in the road south of here. In 1800 a pump was placed at pavement level, you can see the remains of that through the window. By the middle of the nineteenth century, this area, including the River Fleet had become very polluted and foul smelling and the well was closed. The well was rediscovered in 1924 during building work in Farringdon Lane. Visits can be arranged free of charge, contact Islington Local History Centre 020 7527 7988.</p>

<p><strong>Walking Notes [N to S]:</strong> The River Fleet runs down Farringdon Rd, as indicated by the gradient. A quieter route is to head down to the crossroads with Clerkenwell Rd, turn right, and then walk down Saffron Hill, which crosses into Shoe Lane and then back out, near the Holborn Viaduct - which was also built to span the River Fleet (and is the site of another unrelated cache).</p>

ShortDescription:
<p>A series of 22 caches, designed as a downhill walk of just over 8km. It traces the route of the River Fleet, one of the Lost Rivers of London now almost completely built over, but its path is still fascinatingly visible. Starting at the source in front of Kenwood House on Hampstead Heath the route passes through Hampstead, Kentish Town, Camden, St. Pancras, Kings Cross, Clerkenwell and Farringdon to where it can still be seen flowing into the River Thames at Blackfriars.</p>

LongDescription:
<p>The church has a main entrance on Farm Street, but it can be accessed also by the gardens behind the nearby Grosvenor Chapel. (Church Micro 7907)</p>
<p>The gardens, Mount Street Gardens are built on a former burial grounds.</p>
<p>The Church of the Immaculate Conception, Farm Street, also known as just Farm Street Church, is a Roman Catholic parish church run by the Society of Jesus in Mayfair</p>
<p>The church was intended to be larger and seat 900 persons, but this preoved too expensive, and so the church was built with a capacity of just over half of that.<br />
Also due to the limited area in which the church was built, it was oriented North/South</p>
<p>The church style is decorated gothic and the front of the church, towards Farm Street is inspired by that of Beauvais Cathedral.<br />
The church was remodelled in 1951 after damage sustained by bombing during WW2</p>
<p>And so to the cache...<br />
This is a short multi, and the final is just a few moments away from where you are.</p>
<p>To find the cache you need some numbers<br />
There are two panels either side of the main doors. One details service times, the other some history. You need the history panel...</p>
<p>" This beautiful Roman Catholic Church, completed... <strong>ABCD</strong> "<br />
And... " In <strong>EFGH</strong> the Sacred Heart Aisle... was added "</p>
<p>So the coords for the final are</p>

<p><strong>This Cache:</strong> If you are doing this series as a walk, you will have seen the sharp dip in the road as Mount Pleasant crosses into Elm Street. That is the course of the River Fleet, so what is this viaduct doing here? The River Fleet had many tributaries including one that flowed through here. The Victorians built this fine viaduct to span that tributary in 1890. It was manufactured by Westwood Baillie &amp; Co., London. The Victorians were responsible for building over, and thus transforming, much of the River Fleet south of Kings Cross. I thought it worthy of a small detour. It's also a good place to hide a cache!</p>

<p>The building is on the former site of the Baltic Exchange building which was damaged when the IRA detonated a bomb nearby on 10 April 1992.</p>
<p>The original plans were for the Millenium Tower to be built here, which would have been Europe's tallest building, though these faced opposition for being out-of-scale</p>
<img src="http://img.geocaching.com/cache/af6aa716-b233-4166-a91f-b6b551b7b3b6.jpg" border="10" hspace="5" width="350" align="center" /><br />
<p>The building here now was designed by Norman Foster. It uses energy-saving methods which allow it to use half the power a similar tower would typically consume. Gaps in each floor create six shafts that serve as a natural ventilation system for the entire building even though required firebreaks on every sixth floor interrupt the "chimney." The shafts create a giant double glazing effect; air is sandwiched between two layers of glazing and insulates the office space inside</p>

<p>The organ in Grosvenor Chapel was built by Abraham Jordan and installed in 1732 it was altered twice in the 19th century, and rebuilt in 1908.<br />
In 1930 a new two manual organ was built incorporating much second-hand pipework both from the old instrument and from elsewhere. This instrument was replaced in 1991</p>

<h1>Kindertransport</h1>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">A fairly simple offset cache that starts on the forecourt of</span> <span style="font-family:Arial;">Liverpool St</span> <span style="font-family:Arial;">station on</span> <span style="font-family:Arial;">Liverpool Stitself.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">The coordinates are for the memorial to the Kindertransport which saw nearly 10,000 Jewish children arrive in</span> <span style="font-family:Arial;">Britain</span> <span style="font-family:Arial;">between December 1938 and August 1939. Under pressure from various campaigning organisations, the British government passed emergency legislation allowing the admission of up to 10,000 Jewish children, provided that they would not be a burden on the state. Private organisations in</span> <span style="font-family:Arial;">Britain</span><span style="font-family:Arial;">, particularly the Refugee Children's Movement, made arrangements for the children's travel and accommodation. Trains carried young refugees from towns and cities across</span> <span style="font-family:Arial;">Germany</span> <span style="font-family:Arial;">and the surrounding area to the</span> <span style="font-family:Arial;">Hook of Holland</span><span style="font-family:Arial;">. From there they crossed the</span> <span style="font-family:Arial;">North Sea</span> <span style="font-family:Arial;">to Harwich and travelled to</span> <span style="font-family:Arial;">London</span> <span style="font-family:Arial;">by train, arriving at Liverpool Street Station. The majority were then distributed to hostels, boarding schools and foster families. The last train left</span> <span style="font-family:Arial;">Berlin</span> <span style="font-family:Arial;">on</span> <span style="font-family:Arial;">31 August 1939</span><span style="font-family:Arial;">, the very eve of war. Most of the children never saw their parents again. Find out more on the</span> <span style="font-family:Arial;">Museum</span> <span style="font-family:Arial;">of</span> <span style="font-family:Arial;">London</span> <span style="font-family:Arial;">site <a href="http://www.museumoflondon.org.uk/English/Collections/OnlineResources/X20L/Themes/1375/1158/" title="Link to Museum of London Kindertransport article" rel="nofollow">here</a>.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Many commuters will have walked past this memorial on a daily basis without a second glance. Take a moment to pause and think about the history and story that lies behind it.</span></p>
<h1>The cache</h1>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">35mm film canister (not magnetic). Bring a pencil / pen. The GPS coverage here not bad – 24’ accuracy reported when I placed it.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Once you’ve found it: <b><span style="color:red;">*** make sure it goes back where you found it. This is so it will be there for those who come after you and not found by those who shouldn't ***</span></b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">As with a lot of urban caches you’ll need to be sensitive of local residents, builders, gardeners and passers by. Be aware of potential watchers (whether in homes or offices or via security cameras). However, if you are approached by either Police or Security Officers avoid acting suspiciously and explain what you are doing.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Avoid doing the actual cache discovery during the weekday commute or lunch hour. Very quiet in the evening or weekend.</span></p>

LongDescription:
Spa Fields has a history of extremes from being a pleasure garden in the 17th Century to an overcrowded graveyard during the 19th Century, and then a play ground for children from 1886. During these times, significant events took place on the site, such as Spa Field Riots of 1816.<br />
<br />
By the late 18th century the London churchyards were becoming overcrowded. New cemeteries were established as private speculations generally offering slightly lower charges for burials than the churchyards.<br />
<br />
The bodies were exhumed at night and burned in the Bone House to make space for more burials.<br />
<p>Spa fields was one of the most appalling burial grounds in London. According to British History Online “in fifty years it was carefully computed that 80,000 interments had taken place in this pestilential graveyard”. This practice was sustained by the constant exhumation, chopping-up, and cremation of older corpses. This is believed to have contributed to cholera infections in the area. Due to the infectious smells that emanated from the place, all the corpses were finally removed and relocated to other cemeteries at the then outskirts of the city.<br />
<br />
In May 1802 the gravedigger, Joseph Naples, was indicted at Clerkenwell sessions for body snatching. Unfortunately for him, he met up with a Bow Street runner one evening, who became suspicious of the large load on Naples's shoulders. When challenged, Naples ran off. The load turned out to be the recently buried bodies of a woman and child.<br />
It emerged that Naples had been involved in supplying the local hospitals with up to three bodies a day during the winter season, using a basket the hospitals had helpfully provided. He would also supply just the head of anyone who had died of something particularly interesting.<br />
<br />
Around 1843 the public were so horrified over burial site management that a Public Inquiry was instigated. Acts of Parliament were written which prevented anything like this from happening again.<br />
<br />
Its quite pleasant these days.</p>

<h3 style="text-align:center;">Houndsditch, City of London<br />
A histor­ically poor relation among the City’s commercial thoroughfares, extending north-??westward from Aldgate towards Bishopsgate’s junction with Liverpool Street</h3>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img alt src="http://photos.casebook.org/albums/MISC/normal_Houndsditch_c1907_cb.jpg" /></p>
<hr />
<p style="text-align:center;">Houndsditch’s name was first recorded in 1275. Seemingly obvious explan­ations for the meaning of place names often turn out to be fallacious, but Houndsditch genuinely seems to have been a trench where “dead dogges were there laid or cast” – several canine skeletons were unearthed here in 1989, probably dating from Roman times.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">During the Middle Ages, Houndsditch became the centre of the bellfounding industry. Then, as demand declined following the Dissolution, the metal­workers turned to the manufacture of guns and cannons.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">The ditch was filled in by the end of the 16th century, when second-??hand clothes began to be sold here – a special­isation that continued until the 19th century.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">In December 1910 a group of Latvian anarchists killed three policemen and injured two others who inter­rupted them during a burglary attempt on a jeweller’s shop in Houndsditch. On 2 January 1911, two of the gang were cornered and subsequently killed in the siege of Sidney Street, in Stepney.</p>

<br />
<p><strong>Spa Road railway station</strong> in Bermondsey, south-east London, was the original terminus of the capital's first railway, the London and Greenwich Railway (L&amp;GR).</p>
<center><img src="http://imgcdn.geocaching.com/cache/large/9757c49e-9804-4f63-88b6-fa8a2f013782.jpg" /></center>
<p>It was also the first railway terminus in what is now Greater London. First opened in 1836, the station went through several changes of ownership, was rebuilt several times, changed its name and was relocated a couple of hundred yards away from its original site before it finally closed in 1915 due to cost-saving measures during the First World War. The disused station building is today part of a light industrial estate. A number of elements of the original station including the ticket office and remnants of the platforms are still visible.</p>
<p><u><strong>First station (1836–1838)</strong></u></p>
<p>In 1833 an Act of Parliament granted the L&amp;GR the rights to build a four-mile viaduct from the south end of London Bridge to Greenwich and to run trains along it. However, the line was partially opened to the public well before its full length had been completed in order to maximise revenue income as soon as possible. Other companies were in the process of building their own railway lines and the L&amp;GR wished to gain the commercial advantage of being the first to open for business. Another consideration was the company's stock price, which stood high at the end of 1835 but was at risk of falling if the line was not soon opened.</p>
<p>The board decided to open a 2.5 miles (4.0km) stretch from Spa Road to Deptford. The first train left Deptford railway station for Spa Road at 8 am on 8 February 1836. Trains ran hourly on the half-hour from Spa Road, from 8.30 am to 5.30 pm, with a fare to Deptford costing 6<em>d.</em> There were no services after dark, as there were no signals on the line and it was not illuminated. Spa Road station was within the parish of Bermondsey, which was then an industrial and working class area. From there the line crossed over marshes and market gardens to reach Deptford and Greenwich. The station itself was very basic. It was squeezed into a narrow space on a two-track viaduct with no room for buildings of any sort. The company did not even refer to it as a station but as a "stopping place.”The platforms were accessed via wooden staircases on the outside of the viaduct, the one on the south side having a small wooden hut at the bottom for issuing tickets. If the platform was full, passengers were supposed to queue on the steps to wait for the trains. In practice, though, they often queued on the track itself. The company had not originally intended to provide platforms at all and had fitted its carriages with steps to allow passengers to board from track level, but found that low platforms were more convenient. The Commissioner of Pavements required the L&amp;GR to maintain the staircases and to provide at least two services a day from the station.</p>
<center><img src="http://imgcdn.geocaching.com/cache/large/d865c9e0-1645-4ac1-9276-610d56047e84.png" /></center>
<p>Perhaps not surprisingly given the station's physical limitations, only a month after it was opened there was a fatal accident when passenger Daniel Holmes was run over by a train. The other passengers had been waiting with others on the track when the Deptford train arrived. They climbed up on to the platform but Holmes remained on the track. The engine driver, Thomas Millender, was distracted by Holmes and collided with the waiting southbound train. A number of passengers who had already boarded the southbound train were injured and Holmes was killed instantly when Millender's runaway engine struck him. The duty policeman only just escaped also being struck and was dismissed for failing to warn the passengers in time. The accident was witnessed by George Walker, the L&amp;GR's Resident Director, who subsequently wrote of the difficulties that his staff experienced in keeping people off the tracks.</p>
<p>The L&amp;GR opened the line between London Bridge and Spa Road on 14 December 1836. Usage of Spa Road station dropped significantly after the opening of London Bridge railway station, and drivers began to go straight through without stopping if they had no passenger requests. This changed in March 1838 when the company's directors ordered trains to stop at Spa Road hourly throughout the day and reserved half a carriage for passengers to and from the station on Sundays and holidays. They also took steps to improve access to the station. Despite this, it was little used and in late 1838 the L&amp;GR's directors decided to close the station. It was boarded up at the end of 1838 and remained out of use until 1842.</p>
<center><img src="http://imgcdn.geocaching.com/cache/large/e6340b70-d59b-4480-8236-9176718576e3.jpg" /></center>
<p><strong><u>Second station (1842–1867)</u></strong></p>
<p>In 1840, the L&amp;GR applied to Parliament for powers to widen the viaduct, which was so narrow that the carriages only had a clearance of about 20 inches (51cm) between their sides and the parapet wall, and about 3 feet (0.91m) clearance in the centre. There was no room for buildings of any description anywhere on the line. The company came under pressure to reopen Spa Road station, as competition from the railway had caused the demise of a horse-drawn coach service from Bermondsey to Deptford. It agreed to construct an improved station when the line was widened. This involved moving the access staircase to the north side of the viaduct, building a waiting and booking office room in the arches and constructing a shed over the line. A local contractor, Thomas Jackson, began work on the new station in June 1842 and it opened in September, with the work costing £450 (£33,000 at 2010 prices).</p>
<p>The station was upgraded in August 1843 when signals were erected there, and in May 1844 the platforms were extended. The South Eastern Railway took over the L&amp;GR the following year and rebuilt the whole station again. The reconstruction work, which took place in March 1845, saw the demolition of the stairway and the building of a new internal stair approach from an arch in West Street (now Marine Street) next to the arch occupied by the booking office. The tracks were relaid to make them diverge slightly, providing room for an island platform about 10 feet (3.0m) wide. A small shelter was constructed there with a roof 12 feet (3.7m) above track level and projecting about 8 inches (20cm) outwards, level with the sides of the carriages. A third-class passenger was killed on 1 April 1850 when he climbed part-way out of his open carriage and hit his head on the shelter's projecting roof as his Greenwich-bound train passed through the station. A subsequent Board of Trade enquiry recommended that steps should be taken to ensure that the "unruly class of passengers" found in third class should not have the "power to injure themselves" in future. In the same year, a small shelter for ticket collectors was erected on the Spa Road platform and trains to London Bridge were stopped there to carry out ticket collections before arriving at their destination. This arrangement continued until Charing Cross railway station was opened in 1864.</p>
<center><img src="http://imgcdn.geocaching.com/cache/large/229dbafd-9129-4d8d-a8af-e9c80c53e148.jpg" /></center>
<p><u><strong>Third station (1867-1915)</strong></u></p>
<p>In 1867 the station was resited further along the viaduct about 200 yards (180m) to the east, with an entrance accessed via what is now Priter Road. It was renamed as Spa Road &amp; Bermondsey in October 1877 (though a photograph of about 1900 shows that it was still advertised as "Spa Road Station"). When the South Eastern and Chatham Railway was formed in 1899 from the South Eastern Railway and its bitter competitor, the London, Chatham and Dover Railway, the station was given another makeover. The current appearance of the station frontage dates from 1900.</p>
<p>On 15 March 1915, the station was closed, along with Southwark Park and Deptford stations, as a wartime economy measure. Only Deptford was subsequently reopened. Spa Road continued to be used by railwaymen until September 1925, when it finally ceased to be used by the railway.</p>
<center><img src="http://imgcdn.geocaching.com/cache/large/9462e652-a4b1-4939-a67a-3683722fa31a.jpg" /></center>
<p><u><strong>Spa Road today</strong></u></p>
<p>By the mid-1980s the old station had fallen into dereliction. It had lain empty for many years and the vacant land in front of it had become a site for the illegal dumping of rubbish. In 1986, British Rail, the Southwark Environment Trust and the London Borough of Southwark contributed £50,000 to restoring the station frontage and installing two commemorative plaques. The station arches and the land in front of them were redeveloped into a light industrial estate behind a housing block, accessed via Priter Road.</p>
<p>Parts of the station still exist; platform remnants are visible from trains travelling between Deptford or New Cross and London Bridge, and can easily be seen in satellite images. The frontage of the station is still extant and displays the signage of the South Eastern and Chatham Railway. The site of the ticket windows is also visible. The disused platforms can still be reached via the old ticket. office and have occasionally been used in emergencies. On 8 January 1999, after two commuter trains collided and derailed in the Spa Road train crash, some passengers were evacuated through the old station. In recent years a large number of rush hour passenger trains have made unscheduled stops at Spa Road Station whilst waiting for a platform at London Bridge. As a result, the disused station has become unofficially known among train crews as "Phantom International".</p>

<div style="color:#333333;">
<div><span style="font-size:medium;">The co-ordinates take you to the street beside the new east wing of the BBC's Broadcasting House. It is a building of steel structure, faced in Portland Stone. Historically, Portland Stone has been the most widely used of the Jurassic limestones of Britain. It is arguably the principal building stone of London, at least since the post-medieval period, and became popular in the 17th century following the demise of timber as the predominant construction material, particularly after the Great Fire of 1666.  It was in such demand in the 19th century, that railway lines were built from the quarries to speed up and ease transportation to the cities and major towns of Britain. Before that time, much of the transportation had been via sea and the canals. It is a durable, light-coloured stone and suffers relatively little from weathering in comparison to other building stones such as sandstone.</span></div>

<div style="line-height:20px;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height:20px;"><span style="font-size:medium;">Construction of the old Broadcasting House (seen on the left of this image) began in 1928 and the building was inaugurated in 1932.  The east wing extension (seen on the right) was completed in 2005 and was designed to mirror and complement the architecture of the original building.  Both wings are faced in Portland Stone.  The original wing is faced in Portland Whitbed and the new wing is faced in Whitbed (at higher levels) and Portland Roach at lower levels.</span></div>
<div style="line-height:20px;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height:20px;"><span style="font-size:medium;">Portland is a relatively pure limestone containing, on average, 95 per cent calcium carbonate. It was formed at the end of the Jurassic period, around 145 million years ago when what is now the Isle of Portland (approx 150 miles south-west of London), was much closer to the equator than it is today. It is creamy white in colour and is an oolitic limestone but the ooliths (spheres) are not readily visible. The stone occurs in distinct beds known as Portland Base Bed, Portland Whitbed and Portland Roach. Fossils are prominent in most Portland stone and, as natural weathering occurs, the harder fossils tend to stand proud of the surrounding matrix. <br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height:20px;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height:20px;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Portland Roach </span></strong></span></div>
<div style="line-height:20px;"><span style="font-size:medium;">The bed with the most obvious fossils is Portland Roach, which has large shell fossils and bears the concave imprints of those which have been lost. Many of the classic fossils of the Portland Stone can be seen in the blocks used in the east wing. Most prominent are the casts and internal molds of Portland Screws, <em>Aptyxiella portlandica </em>and the grey oysters whose calcite shells have remained intact. Also present are other bivalves including casts of <em>Laevitrigonia gibbosa</em>, with ribbed and knobby shells, <em>Protocardia </em>sp, a cockle and <em>Plicatula </em>sp., a spondylid (spiny) bivalve.  The holes are due to the removal of fossil shells by percolating rain.<br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height:20px;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height:20px;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Portland Whitbed</span></strong></span></div>
<div style="line-height:20px;"><span style="font-size:medium;">Portland Whitbed is quarried from below the Roach. The noun “Whitbed” is almost certainly a corruption of “white bed”. Whitbed is a lightly-coloured fine grained, mainly oolitic limestone typically containing a proportion of comminuted shell fragments, ranging between ~5 mm and ~50mm in diameter. Whitbed can yield an excellent freestone suitable for all external work.  Fossils are less obvious in the Whitbed stone which was used to face the original building. During the Second World War, the building's bright white facade was painted dark to make it harder for aircraft to target. It was still hit three times.<br /></span></div>

ShortDescription:
<p>A magnetic cache hidden between London railway stations. As with all caches in London the tall buildings can cause GPS's to jump around. The Final Co-ords are accurate according to various on-line maps (Google street view and Bing) and <b>the Cache is not near any refuse, nor any security patrolled area</b>.<br /></p>

Hints:
Co-ords should place you in the centre of an area to search.
You need to search for a cache that is Black on black and hidden by black.
Tying the shoe lace trick will help, but you do not need to be on one knee.
Reading the description again may also help.
If stage 2 is not available use E-G
Stage 5 (as of April 2015) appears to be covered by builders boards and scaffolding. If you cannot see all the Pillars use A+C+M+P

LongDescription:
Wilmington Square was laid out in the 1820s by builder John Wilson across 16 acres of the Spa Fields Estate, which belonged to the Marquess of Northampton. There is a pedestrian walkway instead of a road along the north side because Wilson ran out of money. In 1895 the gardens were given to Finsbury Vestry, which planted flowers and installed seating, opening them for public use. There is a late-19th-century pavilion and drinking fountain, numerous trees and conifers, roses and ornamental shrubs.<br />
<br />

ShortDescription:
As I live in a village called Wilmington I couldn't stop myself placing a cache here when I rode past it.<br />
You are looking for a 60ml container attached with nylon cord. Step up through the gap in the railings and look in the tree a few metres ahead at chest height. Most easily seen not from the railing side.<br />

LongDescription:
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;"><font color="#000000" face="Calibri" size="3">Cache is situated close to Chandos House. Built in 1769-71, it was designed by Robert Adam, a leading neoclassical architect and son of William Adam, the most successful Scottish architect of his time. The stonework may look incongruous to its surroundings: probably because it’s from Craigleith Quarry in Edinburgh (my home city). Could it be advertising the quarry the Adams had just acquired...?<br />
<br />
The third and last Duke of Chandos acquired the house in 1774 following which it served as the Austro-Hungarian Embassy from 1815 to 1866. It was then acquired by the Duke of Buckingham and Chandos, a descendant through marriage of the third Duke and, following various other owners, it was bought in 1963 by the Royal Society of Medicine who restored it in 1967 for use by their Fellows. It was sold in 1990 but refurbished again in 2002 and is now used again by the RSM for events, hospitality and overnight accommodation.<br />
<br />
The House was used as a location by Ang Lee in the film of the Jane Austen novel Sense and Sensibility. Bizarrely, Jane Austen was a relative of the Dukes of Chandos (her grandfather was the son of Mary Brydges, sister to James Brydge, the first Duke of Chandos for whom Handel composed the famous Chandos Anthems).<br />

LongDescription:
ATTENTION: THIS CACHE IS NOT 24H ACCESSIBLE. The park opens in the early morning and closes at dusk.

"Before the site was acquired in 1713 to serve as the burial grounds for the new churches of St George, Bloomsbury Way, and St George the Martyr, Queen Square, the land here was meadows.

These were the first burial grounds in London not to be sited next to their churches. The first recorded case of ‘body-snatching' (the theft of corpses for medical research and teaching) took place here in 1777.

Today the gardens are a peaceful retreat. The many large plane trees create shade, while imposing ivy-clad tombs and gravestones may be found throughout the gardens.

The site (restored in 2001 by the London Borough of Camden, with a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund) now includes a new sensory garden created by the Friends of St George's Gardens near the Chapel of Rest. It was awarded a Green Flag in 2009."

LongDescription:
In 1665 the City of London Corporation decided to use some of the fen or moor fields as a common burial ground for the interment of bodies of inhabitants who had died of the plague and could not be accommodated in the churchyards. Although enclosing walls for the burial ground were completed, the ground was, it appears, never consecrated or actually used by the authorities for burials. 

Instead, a Mr Tindal took over the lease. He allowed extramural burials in its unconsecrated soil, which became popular with Nonconformists - those citizens of London or surrounding villages who treasured the independence of their religious beliefs and therefore practised Christianity outside of the Church of England.

So many historically important Protestant nonconformists chose this as their place of interment, that the nineteenth century poet and writer Robert Southey gave Bunhill Fields the memorable appellation: the Campo Santo of the Dissenters; a phrase that also came to be commonly applied to its 'daughter' cemetery at Abney Park.

The main burial ground was also severely damaged by German bombing during World War II, necessitating an expansion of the public park area in 1960, such that close to half of the former burial ground became laid out and maintained as a public garden with open access. The rest remains attractively landscaped though enclosed behind railings, to protect the areas with more delicate monuments and the whole is maintained by the City of London Corporation. Legislation in 1960 transferred the freehold to the Corporation.

Notable graves:
William Blake (1757 – 1827), painter, engraver, poet, and mystic
Cromwells, two tombs bear the family name – "R Cromwell" and "H Cromwell"
Daniel Defoe (1661 – 1731), author of Robinson Crusoe
Richard Price (1733 – 1791), founder of life insurance principles
John Benjamin Tolkien, grandfather of writer J R R Tolkien

This cache is a nano and is available 24/7.
It is rated as difficult level 2.5 since the pub, that is located across the street, attracts lots of thirsty mugglers during After Work hours, specially during summertime when the street is overflown with punters.

Congratulations to Loony Londo for the FTF and to beetstarz for the STF.

ShortDescription:
Bunhill Fields is a cemetery located north of the City of London, and managed by the City of London Corporation. It is about 4 hectares (0.04 km2) in extent; although historically was much larger.
It was used as a burial site for Nonconformists from the late seventeenth century to the middle of the nineteenth century and contains the graves of many notable people.

<p><strong>This Cache:</strong></p>
<p>You are now standing close to the front gate of the original Bagnigge House which became a very fashionable spa in the 18th century. On the opposite side of the road, hidden by the bus stop, sits a wall plaque of a man’s head. This marks the entrance to Bagnigge House.</p>

<center>The Bagnigge House Wall Plaque</center>
<p>The River Fleet ran through the bottom of the garden of this house. In the eighteenth century, this area was still well outside the city. The River Fleet had become quite filthy in the city, but in this area the river was known as the river of wells, because of the number of wells associated with it (there’s another well at cache &lt;18&gt;). The geology underneath London contains both chalk and clay. The chalk can store rain water and the clay can form water tight layers preventing its release. Two wells were sunk here in 1757 and became known as the Bagnigge Wells. At that time this area was fields some way outside the main city (see picture above). Their chalybeate waters (meaning clean, ‘sweet’ and mineral laden) were much sought after for their health giving properties and for tea drinking, where the fashionable of London were won’t to gather. Bagnigge House was claimed to have been owned by Nell Gwynne, the mistress of King Charles II. She is remebered in the road nearby, Gwynne Place which runs under and behind the Travelodge Hotel.</p>

<p><strong>Bonus Caches:</strong> Some, but not all of the caches contain bonus numbers. There are twelve to collect in total, usually on a small sticker inside the cache container. These will enable you to decode the final coordinates of the Bonus Cache, proving that you have walked the complete route to claim the series.</p>

<p><strong>Walking Notes [N to S]:</strong> Continue down Kings Cross Road and turn second right into Calthorpe Street. Here you will see the Mount Pleasant sorting office (site of an unrelated cache in Pheonix Place). The River Fleet ran through the middle of the Mount Pleasant Car Park and as you reach the bottom of Pheonix Place (at the crossroads with Mount Pleasant and Warner Street) look to your right and you will see a marked dip in the road. This is the course of the River Fleet showing quite clearly as it disappears behind the block of flats. Cross straight over into Warner Street and head for the Roseberry Avenue Viaduct.</p>

Pigeon poop was a highly prized fertiliser and considered to be far more potent than farmyard manure. So prized in fact that armed guards were stationed at the entrances to dovecotes (pigeon houses) to stop thieves stealing it!<br />
Not only this, but in England in the 16th century pigeon poop was the only known source of saltpetre, an essential ingredient of gunpowder and was considered a highly valued commodity as a result.<br />
In Iran, where eating pigeon flesh was forbidden, dovecotes were set up and used simply as a source of fertilizer for melon crops and in France and Italy it was used to fertilize vineyards and hemp crops.

LongDescription:
Wesley's Chapel was built in 1778 by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Wesley">John Wesley</a>, the founder of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methodism">Methodism</a>, a Christian movement that focused on Bible study and a methodical approach to scriptures and Christian living, whose preachers were notoriously evangelical.<br />
<img src="http://img.geocaching.com/cache/large/18a30a4d-2986-43f0-a584-4cb8199c080d.jpg" width="200" /><br />
Wesley helped to organize and form societies of Christians throughout England, Scotland, Wales, North America and Ireland as small groups that developed intensive, personal accountability, discipleship and religious instruction among members. His great contribution was to appoint itinerant, unordained preachers who travelled widely to evangelise and care for people in the societies.<br />
<br />
Wesley described his Chapel as 'perfectly neat but not fine'. It is one of London's undiscovered architectural jewels. It is a fine example of Georgian architecture and a Grade I listed building.<br />
<br />
In 1891 the Chapel was transformed to commemorate the centenary of Wesley’s death. Marble pillars were donated from Methodist Churches around the world to replace the original pillars made from wooden ships’ masts donated by George III. New pews were also added and the stained glass was installed around this period.<br />
<img src="http://img.geocaching.com/cache/large/9d9b2a06-2874-48a5-9380-24f9f54a447a.jpg" /><br />
<br />
In 1972 the Chapel was found to be structurally unsafe and had to be closed. Between 1972 and 1978 nearly £1 million was raised to save the Chapel from demolition and restore it to its former glory. On 1st November 1978, exactly 200 years after Wesley opened the Chapel, the restored building was re-opened in the presence of HM Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh.<br />
<br />
Wesley's House next to the chapel is one of London’s finest surviving examples of a small Georgian house. Built by Wesley in 1779, he lived there the last twelve winters of his life, in the summer months he would visit and preach to his Methodist societies round the country. He died in the house on 2 March 1791 and was buried at the chapel a week later. His tomb is in the garden to the rear of the chapel.<br />

<h1>From a Swan to the Canary</h1>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A series of caches from Swan Pier to Canary Wharf using the Riverside (Thames) path. The journey will take you past the Tower of London, through the St Katharine Docks (a separate mystery cache “Katherine and Thomas” to try there), then through the Hermitage Basin of the old Western docks on to Shadwell Basin before rejoining the Thames past Limehouse basin before reaching Docklands. A wide variety of cache styles from nanos to regulars.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As with a lot of urban caches you’ll need to be sensitive of local residents and be aware of potential watchers (whether in homes or offices or via security cameras). However, if you are approached by either Police or Security Officers avoid acting suspiciously and explain what you are doing.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I would recommend avoiding doing this one during weekday commute and lunch times. A good selection of pubs and restaurants towards the end of the series.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When we set this series my friend was taking photos using a camera mounted on a tripod: a wonderful excuse to hang around a particular area without attracting too much attention!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Good public transport connections at either end, the Docklands Light Railway is generally not too far away in the section between St Katharine Docks and Lime House Basin.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">No need to go into any private areas or onto flowerbeds etc for any of these. Generally flat and well paved throughout.</p>
<h1>The cache: Hermit</h1>
<p class="MsoNormal">Regular cache 1.24l clipbox. Please be careful when replacing this one – make sure the label faces inwards and check for visibility by muggles.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This cache is in part of what were the old Western Docks before redevelopment. This area is known as the Hermitage Basin Have a look on this site for lots more info <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.portcities.org.uk/london/server/?search_word=hermitage&amp;change=SearchResults" title="Portcities: Hermitage Basin and Western Docks">Portcities: Hermitage Basin and Western Docks</a>. When redeveloped the southern wall was retained and a small canal like waterway formed leading to Shadwell Basin.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you’re following this series coming from The Tower, walk through The St Katharine Dock and follow the “Thames Path / Shadwell Basin signs” – if you can not find those, just head for the Thames and keep the river on your right hand side walking in an Easterly direction. You’ll walk past a large pool, look out for the heron.</p>

<p><br />
Before 1600, London's water supply was limited to the River Thames, local streams, wells and springs. Sellers carried and distributed these water supplies, often contaminated, in wooden buckets. This situation remained until the construction of the New River and the small reservoir at New River Head in 1613. This storage point was situated at an elevation suitable for water to be distributed by gravity, through connecting wooden pipes, to houses in the City and surrounding areas. These hollowed-out 175mm (7 inch) elm trunks covered some 640 km (400 miles), often being laid on the surface; these were replaced with iron pipes by the 1880s.</p>
<p>By 1946 the New River supply to the New River Head had ceased, with the watercourse ending at Stoke Newington Reservoir. However, both this supply and the site remain essential to London's water provision and distribution. Today, the New River sustains some 8 percent of the capital's daily water consumption and New River Head retains its importance through the Thames Water Ring Main and Rising Groundwater Scheme.</p>

This has been placed within Petticoat Lane Market, so extreme stealth is required when the market is open for trade

Petticoat Lane Market in the East End has been operating since at least the 1750's. It was named after the petticoats and lace once sold there by the Huguenots who came to London from France. The Victorians renamed it Middlesex Street in 1830 presumably as they were offended by women's underwear and wished to remain “straight laced”. However the market is still known as Petticoat Lane today.

This area gets extremely busy especially on Sundays. 

Saturdays or early morning / late evening will probably be the best times to visit this one. Stealth is required at other times.

As we no longer work in London it is difficult for us to maintain the cache on a regular basis. We have no problems with cachers replacing log books or containers here should the original go missing and any help in keeping this cache in service for visitors to London will be much appreciated. Thank you.

<p>St. Pancras Church was built in 1869 for £89,296, the most expensive house of worship since the reconstruction of St. Paul's Cathedral. Modelled on the Erechtheum of the Acropolis in Athens, the church's exterior has lost much of its magnificence due to the pollution from the Euston Road. On closer inspection these maidens are stumpier than their Greek counterparts (one of whom is on display in The British Museum, courtesy of Lord Elgin). Sculptor Charles Rossi (1762-1839) spent three years crafting these Caryatids out of Coade stone, an artificial material much favoured for the neoclassical monuments so popular in the 18th and 19th centuries. The figures were built up in cast iron columns. But when Rossi transported them from his studios to the church, he discovered to his horror that the statues were too tall. Under the gaze of bemused onlookers, Rossi took drastic action: he cut off their midriffs. Thankfully their draped Grecian gowns help to conceal their stunted torso's.</p>
<hr width="”60%" />
<br />
<p>Coade Stone came from Coade's Artificial Stone Manufactory, founded in 1769 by Mrs Eleanor Coade. It stood on the site where the Royal Festival Hall now stands. The material was widely used for statues, busts, tombstones, architectural and stone ornaments for almost 65 years. It's ingredients and manufacturing process were a trade secret but one anonymous account says "The preparation was cast moulds and burnt. It is possesed of a particular property of resisting frost, retains its sharpness and excels every species of stone, and even equals marble". Other famous Coade stone statues include Nelson's pediment at the Royal Naval Collge in Greenwich, and the 13 ton Lion on Westminster Bridge <a href="http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=23dfe719-f8a0-450a-8503-f449ffdbfe3c" target="_blank">(GC1BEM6)</a>, one of a pair that used to crown the Red Lion Brewery on the South Bank. The other lion of that pair now guards the All England Rugby Club at Twickenham.</p>
<p>Despite its 65 years of success the company went bankrupt soon after Eleanor Coades death in 1796, aged 88. She is buried at Bunhill Fields <a href="http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=f1979123-e678-45e4-b2cb-60cb55764205" target="_blank">(GC2M65B)</a>.

Euston dealt with more than 34million passengers, an increase of 13.3 per cent in 2012 according to figures from the Office of Rail Regulation.</p>
<p>The original station was opened on 20 July 1837, and was redeveloped in 1962 to the current configuration. These two entrance lodges are more or less all that remains of the original station entrance.</p>

<br />
<p>Euston Station is now the subject of a major redevelopment plan as the high speed line HS2 will start from here. The station will be fully redeveloped again and there are plans to restore the original Euston Station arch which originally stood in a road behind it. The Euston Arch was 70ft (21,3m) tall, was built from Yorkshire stone and complemented the Ionic entrance to the Curzon Street Station in Birmingham which was the other end of the railway's mainline.</p>
<p>Michael Palin is now involved in a campaign to restore the original 70ft (21.3m) arch, the stones of which were dumped in the River Lee and have have recently been found again.</p>

<br />
<p>The structural design for the restored arch includes a nightclub in the basement a banqueting hall in the roof and will cost £30m. It's large and will obviously make this cache difficult to retrieve if it goes ahead! <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2274355/Michael-Palin-campaigns-historic-arch-Euston-Station-rebuilt-using-original-stone.html#axzz2K7iuX29h" target="_blank">"More info here"</a><br /></p>

LongDescription:
<p>During the 1860’s, the world’s first underground railway was built here, between Farringdon and Paddington. Two tunnels were constructed more or less simultaneously. One for the railway and one to bury the River Fleet. What you see here is the railway cutting built using the ‘Cut and Cover’ technique (dig a trench, line it with bricks and cover it over). These open cuttings avoided expensive tunneling through London clay, but they were also better for letting steam escape from the steam trains in use at the time.</p>
<p><img alt="The Railway Cutting" src="http://img.geocaching.com/cache/cd127696-55de-4232-8a3e-dfa93318426f.jpg" style="border:0px;font-family:inherit;font-size:13.0012998580933px;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;height:376px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;width:273px;" /></p>
<p>The Railway Cutting in Farringdon Road (c.1860's)</p>
<p>Here if you are tall enough, which I doubt, you can peer over the wall and see the cutting in all its glory. If you’re not tall enough (I wasn’t and I’m tall) here’s a photo.</p>
<p><img class="Pointer" src="http://img.geocaching.com/cache/3b788f68-acc7-425e-a345-cc96efda4c89.jpg" style="background:url(http://www.geocaching.com/images/magnifying-glass.png) 100% 100% no-repeat;border:0px;cursor:pointer;font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,geneva,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;height:inherit;line-height:18.0017986297607px;padding:0px 0px 18px;vertical-align:baseline;width:670px;" /></p>
<p>The Railway Cutting View</p>
<p>For most of its route the railway followed the Marylebone and Euston Roads which caused massive traffic chaos because of the surface construction method. It also removes masses of earth during construction and this was dumped in what was then the outskirts of London in ‘Stamford Bridge’, where it was later used to construct the terraces at Chelsea football ground.</p>
<p>But what is the connection to the River Fleet? From here the railway curves round south-eastward buried beneath the Farringdon Road. It was here during construction in 1862 that disaster struck. The new parallel Fleet Sewer suddenly and catastrophically burst its walls, flooding a half-mile stretch of the railway to a depth of ten feet. ~The Illustrated London News of 6th September 1862 reported the following:</p>
<p>“"A warning was given by the cracking and heaving mass and the workmen had time to escape before the embankment fell in... the massive brick wall, eight feet six inches in thickness, thirty in height and a hundred yards long, rose bodily from its foundations as the water forced its way beneath... The scene was, indeed, well worthy of a visit.”</p>
<p>The world’s first underground Metropolitan Railway finally opened as few months later and the Fleet was finally tamed and hidden. The Observer in 1863 commented as follows;</p>
<p>“Yesterday the Metropolitan (underground) Railway was opened to the public, and many thousands were enabled to indulge their curiosity in reference to this mode of travelling under the streets of the metropolis.” “At eight o'clock the desire to travel underground in the direction of the City began to manifest itself at the various stations along the line; and by nine it became equally evident to the authorities that neither the locomotive power nor the rolling stock at their disposal was at all in proportion to the requirements of the opening day.” “Up to six o'clock the computation was that somewhere about 25,000 persons had been carried over the line, and it is gratifying to remark that, notwithstanding the eagerness of the public to get into the carriages, even when the trains were in motion, no single accident, of any kind, was reported.</p>

<p><strong>Bonus Caches:</strong> Some, but not all of the caches contain bonus numbers. There are twelve to collect in total, usually on a small sticker inside the cache container. These will enable you to decode the final coordinates of the Bonus Cache, proving that you have walked the complete route to claim the series.</p>
<hr />
<p><strong>Walking Notes [N to S]:</strong> Continue to the end of Wicklow Street (follow the gradient) and more fascinating evidence of the course of the river is in front of you. The roads rise steeply masking the original banks of the river. Their names give it away; Vernon Rise, Weston Rise. Turn right downhill, on the left hand side Great Percy Street has a steep incline. On the right hand side Frederick Street has a pronounced incline, and back on the left hand side Wharton Street has a steep rise.</p>

LongDescription:
A multi-cache located at the British Library. Entry to the building is free of charge and you do not need to go into any temporary exhibitions or Reading Rooms to complete the find.<br />
<br />
Please do not ask Security or the Information Desk for assistance. They are aware of the cache and it is placed with permission from the Library, but it was not placed by anyone at the Library, so they can't help (plus that would totally defeat the purpose! ;) ).<br />
<br />
The container is not at the listed coordinates, but use the clues to get the coordinates of <strong>N51 GH.CAI W000 DB.EJF</strong>.<br />
<br />
Once at that location, you will find a small container with directions back into the Library to find the final cache. <strong>Leave enough time to enter the building before it closes to sign the final log book!</strong>
<p>The final container is quite large (5 gallon) and can hold many swaps and travelbugs.</p>
<p><strong>Congrats to arewethereyet?? for the First to Find on 27 January 2011!</strong></p>
<p>Opening hours limited and can be found at <a href="http://www.bl.uk/aboutus/quickinfo/loc/stp/opening/index.html" target="_blank">Opening Hours</a>. Generally the Library is open until 6pm, but please be aware <strong>you cannot access all the required areas on a Sunday or Bank Holidays</strong>.</p>
<p>Do not bring luggage as the Library will not let you in with anything larger than hand luggage and all luggage is subject to search - and usually they exercise this right!</p>
<a href="http://www.bl.uk/aboutus/quickinfo/loc/stp/opening/index.html"><br /></a>
<hr />
<p>Outside in the piazza, there is a statue of Newton. The last number on the plaque will give you <strong>A</strong>.</p>
<p>Inside now to the Foyer, where you will see a statue of Shakespeare. The third number in the year the statue was bequeathed to the British Museum is <strong>B.</strong> If you haven't figured out what B obviously is, and can't see the information about the bust due to exhibition hoarding, then B is also: The last number of the year that you can see engraved on the stone, minus 1.</p>
<p>Down to the Lower Ground floor now and you'll find a piece of art called "Paradoxymoron". A certain Gallery helped support this gift to the Library - take the number of letters in the second word of that Gallery name for <strong>C</strong>.</p>
<p>Find the large model of the Library and count the number of trees and take away 5 to get <strong>D</strong>.</p>
<p>Now head into the Sir John Ritblat Gallery. Find the free-standing large globe, and <strong>on</strong> it you'll see the name of the <strong>donor</strong>. Add up the number of letters in the surname and you'll have <strong>E</strong>.</p>
<p>You'll have noticed the glass-enclosed King's Library. Find out the last number of the year of the earliest material known to be inside for <strong>F</strong>. (Tip - you're looking for a sign on the wall!)</p>
<p>Out now to the Conservation Centre. You can see the answer through the glass or you can go inside to look at the small display there. How many letters in the first word in the name of the contributor on the bottom left of the sign inside the Centre? This is <strong>G</strong>.</p>
<p>In the entrance to the Manuscripts Reading Room, there is a painting of Robert Harley. What's the first number on the plaque? This will give you <strong>H</strong>.</p>
<p>In front of the Newsroom, there is a bust of the moustached John Lawrence. How many times does the letter "N" appear on the plaque? This is <strong>I</strong>.</p>
<p>Your final stop is the Maps Reading Room foyer. How many letters in the first word of the name of the very large atlas across from the lift (see the small brass plaque on top)? Now you know <strong>J</strong>.</p>
<p>Now to go outside to find the next stage, which will lead you to where the final is held (back in the Library).</p>
<br />
The final is also a Book Crossing location (see http://www.bookcrossing.com/ for more info). When releasing books, go to United Kingom:Greater London:-- Geocaches -- and the cache name will come up in the final Crossing Zones section.<br />

<h3>About SideTracked - Euston</h3>
<br />
Euston was the first intercity railway station in London, opened on 20 July 1837. The original station was built by William Cubitt and was designed by the classically trained architect Philip Hardwick. The station grew rapidly as traffic increased. It was greatly expanded with the opening in 1849 of the Great Hall, designed by Hardwick's son Philip Charles Hardwick in classical style.<br />
<br />
As traffic grew, the station required further expansion. Two platforms were added in the 1870s with new service roads and entrances, and four in the 1890s, bringing the total to 15, one of them for parcels traffic. Few relics of the old station survive, but you can still see the lodges on Euston Road and statues now on the forecourt.<br />
<br />
The station now has 18 platforms, and Euston is the sixth-busiest terminus in London by entries and exits.<br />

<br />
<h3>A Traveler's Earthcache</h3>
<br />
In the outdoor public square of Euston Station, you will find a sculpure called:<br />
<br />
<strong>Time Benches (1990) by Paul de Monchaux</strong><br />
<br />
One of the more subversive and enjoyable features of public art is the complete absence of ‘DO NOT TOUCH’ signs. In fact, some public artworks even invite human participation and use, as with Paul de Monchaux’s four ‘Time Benches’ at Euston Station.<br />
<br />
Each of the four benches is fashioned from a different type of stone. These works invite the urban commuter to pause in their travels and to reflect on the material objects, so frequently ignored, that constitute their ever-changing cityscape.<br />
<br />
Together these benches allow the curious commuter to compare the types of stone and to look for fossils while waiting for their train. They show a fascinating journey through the geological ages of our planet Earth:<br />
<br />
(Not necessarily in order, see log instructions below)<br />
<br />
<strong>The Triassic Period</strong><br />
This red stone comes from the first period of the Mesozoic Era. Both the start and end of the Triassic period are marked by major extinction events. Sandstone (sometimes known as arenite) is a clastic sedimentary rock composed mainly of sand-sized minerals or rock grains.<br />
<br />
<strong>The Carboniferous Period</strong><br />
This grey stone comes from a time that extends from the end of the Devonian Period, to the beginning of the Permian Period. The Carboniferous was a time of active mountain-building, as the supercontinent Pangaea came together.<br />
<br />
<strong>The Ordovician Period</strong><br />
This dark-coloured stone is from the second of six periods of the Paleozoic Era. It follows the Cambrian period and is followed by the Silurian period. Recognition of the distinct Ordovician period was slow in the United Kingdom, but other areas of the world accepted it quickly. Life continued to flourish during the Ordovician as it did in the Cambrian, although the end of the period was marked by a significant mass extinction.<br />
<br />
<strong>The Jurassic Period</strong><br />
This extremely interesting grey stone comes from a time period before the beginning of the Cretaceous. The Jurassic Period gets its name from the Jura Mountains of the Alps where strata from the period were first identified. By the beginning of the Jurassic, the supercontinent Pangaea had begun drifting into two landmasses, Laurasia to the north and Gondwana to the south. The Jurassic geological record is good in Western Europe, where extensive marine sequences indicate a time when much of the continent was submerged under shallow tropical seas; famous locales include the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site in Dorset, UK.<br />

<p><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="color:#ff00ff;"><span style="line-height:22px;"><span style="color:#000080;"><strong>Erratics are significant because:</strong></span></span></span></span></span></p>

Their lithographic origin can be traced to the parent bedrock, allowing for confirmation of the ice flow route.</strong></span></span></span></li>
<li style="color:#252525;margin-bottom:0.1em;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="color:#000080;"><strong>They can be transported by ice rafting. This allows quantification of the extent of glacial flooding resulting from ice dam failure which release the waters stored in proglacial lakes such as Lake Missoula. Erratics released by ice-rafts that were stranded and subsequently melt, dropping their load, allow characterization of the high-water marks for transient floods in areas like temporary Lake Lewis.</strong></span></span></span></li>

Also known as</span><span style="font-size:medium;"> </span><span style="font-size:medium;">dropstones</span><span style="font-size:medium;">, these can be correlated with ocean temperatures and levels to better understand and calibrate models of the glacial climate.</span></strong></span></li>

The second boulder in the series is rather special – a closer inspection reveals a knotted texture in which a large crystal is overlapped by flatter, platy ones which wrap around to make a distinct ‘eye’ pattern. This is a granite which was later reheated and squeezed (metamorphosed) as the Scandinavian mountains were formed. It is referred to as a gneiss, and because of the eye pattern, it is known as augen gneiss (augen from the German for eyes).</strong></span></span></span></span></span></span></p>

The molten rock was chilled in the process and so the minerals failed to grow to a size easily visible to the naked eye before the rock solidified. They are poor in the white mineral quartz, hence the darker overall colour compared with the granites which are rich in this mineral dolerite and, if the crystals are particularly small, basalt. Their rusty-brown surface crust, acquired as they were weathered and transported, allowed the sculptor to create his figures in outline by chiselling through the crust to reveal the black body colour.</strong></span></span></span></span></span></p>

<p><strong>Holy Trinity</strong>, St Marylebone, was one of four chapels commissioned to be built in 1824 to ease the heavy population demands of what was soon to be one of the most populated parishes in England. It was built in 1825 and lay within the civil parish boundaries of St Marylebone. </p>
<p> </p>

<p>Sir John Soane R.A. was the architect of this church, built in a Grecian architectural style. Having fallen into disuse by the 1930s it became a store in 1936 for a well known book publisher. The company moved out in 1937 and the church was adapted as the headquarters of the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge [SPCK] where they remained until 2006. </p>

<p>In the 1950s the parish was united with the adjoining parish of St Marylebone. The church stands on a traffic island with Marylebone Road to the front and Albany Street and Osnaburgh Street to the sides.</p>

LongDescription:
Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772) was a Swedish scientist, philosopher, theologian and Christian mystic.<br />
<br />
During the 1730s Swedenborg undertook many studies of anatomy and physiology. He came up with several ideas that anticipated modern discoveries by 100 years. In particular, he claimed that the frontal cortex of the brain had a key role in sensory, motor and cognitive functions; and he had a theory based on neurons, even though they had not been discovered in his time.<br />
<br />
At the age of 56 he began to experience dreams and visions.<br />
For the next 27 years Swedenborg made almost daily excursions through Heaven and Hell, heard the meaning of the Scriptures expounded by angels, spirits and God. He claimed he was appointed by God to write a heavenly doctrine to reform Christianity. He claimed that God had opened his spiritual eyes, so that from then on he could freely visit heaven and hell, and talk with angels, demons and other spirits.<br />
He claimed that the Last Judgement had already occurred, in 1757, although only visible in the spiritual world, where he had witnessed it; and that Judgement was followed by the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, but rather than a return in person, Jesus had told Swedenborg that he had been chosen to publish God's Word.<br />
<br />
In <i>Life on Other Planets</i>, Swedenborg claimed that he conversed with spirits from Jupiter, Mars, Mercury, Saturn, Venus, and the Moon. He did not report conversing with spirits from Uranus and Neptune, which were not yet discovered. This lack is seen by some to raise question about the credibility of all his reports on this matter.<br />
<br />
A variety of important cultural figures, both writers and artists, were influenced by Swedenborg, including Johnny Appleseed, William Blake, Jorge Luis Borges, Daniel Burnham, Arthur Conan Doyle, Ralph Waldo Emerson, John Flaxman, George Inness, Henry James Sr., Carl Jung, Immanuel Kant, Honoré de Balzac, Helen Keller, Czeslaw Milosz, August Strindberg, D. T. Suzuki, and W. B. Yeats.<br />
<br />
Helen Keller wrote that "the teachings of Emanuel Swedenborg have been my light, and a staff in my hand and by his vision splendid I am attended on my way."<br />
<br />
In 1766, Kant wrote a scathing critique of Swedenborg and his writings, calling him a “spook hunter”<br />
<br />
Swedish trade links with London have existed for many hundreds of years but grew rapidly in the 17th century. With so many Swedish sailors, traders, bankers, shop keepers and business men coming and going in London it is not surprising that eventually a Swedish Church was necessary to serve their religious needs. Thus in 1710 a Swedish congregation was formed and in 1728 the Ulrika Eleonora Church was built.<br />
Because this church was the centre for Swedish people in London it is not surprising that on his death, Emanuel Swedenborg’s body was laid to rest in the vaults. And there it would have probably remained to this day had not the need to develop and build in London at the beginning of the 20th century forced the demolition of the 200 year old Ulrika Eleonora church. The church closed in 1910 and was finally demolished in 1921.<br />
The ground on which the church stood was made into a garden and in 1938 Princes Square was renamed Swedenborg Gardens.<br />

ShortDescription:
The cache, a small container, is located in Swedenborg Gardens. This is a public park named in honour of Emanuel Swedenborg.<br />

<p>How the Kings Cross area got its name. You are not looking for a 35mm film cannister but a magnetic nano. MAXIMUM STEALTH REQUIRED - beware of muggles all around. This is reflected in the difficulty rating though.</p>
<p>This area was originally called Broad Ford Bridge, as there was a bridge here over the River Fleet. That name was later corrupted to Battle Bridge and the legend was invented that Boadicea fought a great battle with the Romans here.</p>
<p>Some of the earliest commercial enterprises in this area were spas, which developed around the springs fed by the River Fleet. They became fashionable resorts in the eighteenth century. It was, however, an early attempt at traffic planning which determined the areas fate. Thomas Coram built the Foundling Hospital for children in 1742-1747 just south of the present day King's Cross and ten years later, in 1756, the New Road was cut across the fields from east to west to channel traffic away from the city centre. Today, as the ever-busy Euston Road, it serves the same purpose.</p>
<p>By the early-nineteenth century Battle Bridge had become a depressing place. It was low lying and subject to flooding. A Smallpox Hospital had been built in 1769, where St. Pancras station now lies, and a fever hospital was added in 1802. It had become notorious for its tile kilns, rubbish tips and noxious trades. The Regents Canal, opened in 1820, attracted other industries such as gas works. These are being restored to the north of Kings Cross in the large scale regeneration project there.</p>
<p>Around 1835 a monument to King George IV (1762-1830), who had died five years earlier was built at this spot, the junction of Gray's Inn Road, Pentonville Road, and New Road, (which was later renamed Euston Road).</p>
<center><img src="http://img.geocaching.com/cache/a24ec528-fe67-4d75-8f39-3e7f156fc01f.jpg" alt="The Kings Cross" width="480" height="720" hspace="10" vspace="10" align="center" border="0" /><br />
<center>The Kings Cross<br />
<p>This 60ft (18m) high statue of King George IV had an octagonal base, decorated with pairs of doric columns with statues of the four patron saints of Britain on top. The upper storey was used as a camera obscura, the base was hollow and used as a police station, then as a public house. Widely unpopular, It was described by Walter Thornbury as "a ridiculous octagonal structure crowned by an absurd statue". It lasted its' public derision for only ten years and was demolished in 1845, but the name stuck.</p>
<p>A structure in the form of a lighthouse was built on top of a building almost on the site about 30 years later in 1875. It became known locally as the "Lighthouse Building", the popular theory that the structure was an advertisement for Netten's Oyster Bar on the ground floor seems not to be true. It is a grade II listed building.</p>
<p>In acknowledgment of the old cache "The King's Cross Lighthouse" by loobcom which used to be placed on this spot but was recently archived. All those that got a DNF there, can get some measure of geocaching closure with this new one.</p>

ShortDescription:
<p>A series of 22 caches, designed as a downhill walk of just over 8km. It traces the route of the River Fleet, one of the Lost Rivers of London now almost completely built over, but its path is still fascinatingly visible. Starting at the source in front of Kenwood House on Hampstead Heath the route passes through Hampstead, Kentish Town through Kings Cross to where it can still be seen flowing into the River Thames at Blackfriars.</p>

LongDescription:
<p>It can be done on foot or by cycle, as one total exercise or by picking up the information from each waypoint (please see below) in stages. If you focus just on the information collection (though we do recommend that you spend more time so as to be able to fully experience all the statues/monuments en route) you could probably complete the multi in about 45 minutes.</p>
<p>Please note that whilst the route is almost all on good paths/pavements, at WP6 you will need to walk up a grassy bank, so a wheelchair user may need slight assistance. You will need to collect information at each of the stages in order to calculate the final, which is a short walk from WP6. Please bring your own pen. <b>PLEASE NOTE THAT SOME OF THE WAYPOINTS ARE WITHIN HYDE PARK, WHICH IS ONLY OPEN UNTIL DUSK. PLEASE THEREFORE CHECK PARK OPENING TIMES BEFORE SETTING OUT. The cache itself is accessible at all times</b>. We hope you enjoy this historical multi.</p>
<p>The published co-ordinates will take you to the Marble Arch "island" in the middle of a busy road junction. Here you may wish to admire the pond and the statues before heading to Way Point 1.</p>
<p><b>WP1:</b> Marble Arch. On this island you are close to Oxford Street for the shops to the east, or green and leafy Hyde Park to the south. This way point takes you near to the grand arch of Marble Arch. Have a wander round it. Admire the carvings on the stonework and also on the gates. Then walk @50ft to the entrance to Marble Arch Station at Pedestrian Subway Exit 3. Here you will find an information board showing the history of Marble Arch. Look at the titles of the pictures/images on this board. How many times is the word “Tyburn” mentioned in these picture titles? <b>This is A.</b></p>
<p><b>WP2:</b> Animals In War Memorial. Cross at the southern pelican crossing from Marble Arch and walk down the west/park side of Park Lane until you reach the pedestrian crossing which will take you to this memorial. After studying the southern side, we recommend that you walk northwards up the steps through the gap in the middle of the memorial to look at the sculptures and reliefs on that other side. Returning to the front (south) side of the memorial, there are round lights set into the ground near/around the legs of the donkey sculpture. How many lights are there? (please do not include any lights up the steps along the base of the curving memorial walls). <b>This is B.</b></p>
<p><b>WP3:</b> 7/7 Memorial. Cross back to the Hyde Park side of Park Lane and enter the park. Head south for a while until you reach this memorial, which is dedicated to all those who died in the tube and bus bombings in London on 7 July 2005. There is a concrete post for each of the 52 people who died at one of the four bombing sites: Kings Cross tube station at 08.50, Edgware Road tube station at 08.50, Aldgate tube station at 08.50, and on a number 30 bus in Tavistock Square at 09.47. Of the four concrete posts nearest (and parallel) to the plaque how many are for people who died at the Kings Cross tube station bomb site? <b>This is C.</b></p>
<p><b>WP4:</b> Achilles Statue. Continue southwards on paths inside the park until you reach this statue which was placed here in 1822 in commemoration of the Duke of Wellington and his companions in arms. On the SW corner of the memorial there is a metal grid/drain in the ground. There is a number on it: C?50. <b>?=D.</b></p>
<p><b>WP5:</b> Australian War Memorial. Head south to exit out of the park through the impressive archways, and cross at the pedestrian crossing (or nearby subway) to reach the centre of Hyde Park Corner roundabout. Here you will see that there are no less than 6 memorials (including Wellington Arch itself, which you can explore inside/up the stairs for a fee). By all means take time to look at them all. Then head to this one. There are various stone blocks set in the ground in front of the memorial, which you can sit on or on which there is a map. There are square lights embedded into the sides of some of these blocks. How many lights are there? <b>This is E.</b></p>
<p><b>WP6:</b> New Zealand Memorial. Head slightly NE (but still within the central roundabout area). As you walk towards it from this direction, note the crosses on each of the posts. On the NE side of the shortest metal post there is some information in both English and Maori, telling you about the memorial. On the taller metal posts there are various metal objects sculpted/attached to some of them e.g. one of them is a rugby ball. Including the rugby ball, how many POSTS have such objects? <b>(We are looking for the number of posts, not the number of objects, as some posts have more than one object)</b> You will need to view the posts from all angles, including from up the grassy slope. <b>This is F.</b></p>

LongDescription:
Paddington Street Gardens were established during the 18th century as an additional burial ground for the old St Marylebone Parish Church. Paddington Street itself dates from the 1760s. The land on the south side of it, one acre and one rood, was granted to the parish by Edward Harley (as in Harley Street), Earl of Oxford, in 1730 and consecrated as a burial ground in 1733. By 1771 further space for graves was needed and the parish bought the piece of land on the north side of the street from Mr. Henry Portman.

When the St John's Wood burial ground opened in 1814, this one was officially closed.  The gardens are still consecrated ground. 

In 1885 the gardens became a recreational ground which was officially opened by HRH Princess Louise on 6 July 1886. Most of the tombstones have been removed but the mausoleum in the south garden was left because of its exceptionally fine design, although it looks rather tired now. It was erected by the Hon Richard Fitzpatrick to the memory of his wife Susanna who died in 1759 aged 30.

The Gardens are open from 7.00 a.m. to at least 5pm and later in the summer months.  There is a fun kids playground at the southern end with some unconventional equipment and if you like meat, there is a great butcher, The Ginger Pig, towards the Marylebone High Street end of Moxon Street.  On Sunday mornings, there is a farmers' market in the car park in Moxon Street.

ShortDescription:
A small container (no pencil) affixed magnetically, located at the gates to Paddington Street Gardens.    A popular pedestrian thoroughfare, so can be busy and GPS coverage is often poor.  The cache is located outside the Gardens which remain consecrated ground to this day.  

Be careful when replacing - if it falls, it is history!

PLEASE REPLACE EXACTLY WHERE FOUND.

The former St James’s Burial Ground dates to the 18th century. A proprietary chapel on the Pentonville Estate was built in 1787 and four years later became St James’s, a chapel of ease for Clerkenwell parish church. By the 20th century the church building had become redundant and was demolished in the 1980s to make way for an office building. Also buried here is Henry Penton, who gave his name to the surrounding area of Pentonville.</p>
<p>Joseph Grimaldi (18 December 1778 – 31 May 1837) was an English actor, comedian and dancer, who became the most popular English entertainer of the Regency era.</p>
<p>In the early 1800s, Grimaldi quickly became the most famous Clown in London transforming the Clown character from a pratfalling country bumpkin into the most important character in the harlequinade that formed part of British pantomimes, notably at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane and the Sadler's Wells and Covent Garden theatres. He became so dominant on the London comic stage that harlequinade clowns became known as "Joey", and both the nickname and Grimaldi's whiteface make-up design were, and still are, used by other types of clowns.</p>
<p>Charles Dickens wrote Grimaldi’s biography “The memoirs of Joseph Grimaldi” (1838) inbetween Oliver Twist and Nicholas Nickleby.</p>

<p>In 2010, Henry Krokatsis was appointed to create a public artwork in honour of Grimaldi and Charles Dibdin, Grimaldi's mentor. Two coffin shaped installations made of bronze floor tiles play musical notes when walked on. It was designed so it’s possible to play Hot Codlins, a song popularised by Grimaldi.</p>
<p>To find the co-ordinates, you must ask Grimaldi's mentor a question through the medium of dance! When you know the response, use a normal letter-number cipher so A=1, B=2....etc.</p>

<p>Not suitable for a cache &amp; dash by car as there is nowhere to stop at GZ.</p>
<p>An easy cache not far from Denmark Hill railway station and King's College Hospital with 2 main purposes:</p>
<p>1st to highlight some beautiful sculpture (the cache is also named after the sculpture). Note: <strong>The cache is not hidden on the sculpture!</strong></p>
<p>2nd to provide some light relief by way of exercise, fresh air, and a caching opportunity for visitors to the nearby hospitals, should they have the time and the inclination.</p>
<p>Please do be wary of passing muggles and try to avoid being observed removing or replacing the cache. But do take notice of how you FIND the cache (assuming it has been replaced correctly!) and take care to put the container back so that it is well <strong>attached</strong>. To drop it would be a bit of a 'mare if it (worst case) were to roll out of reach. It's quite a long way round and an un-welcome detour!!</p>
<p>Having walked past this spot many times when visiting my caching partner, aka the love of my life <font color="red">Mrs. AnT</font>, when she was ill (though being well cared for) in King's College Hospital,  it seemed a good idea to put a cache in this place of interest.</p>
<p>The sculpture set is by Leigh Dyer (please observe there's more than the one piece) and was permanently installed on the 28th of February, 2009.</p>
<p>As well as this remarkably life-like and evocative artwork, there are further places of interest nearby, including the green and placid oasis of Ruskin Park accessible on the other side of Denmark Hill - where there is also a cache - and, along Champion Park itself (the street), there is William Booth College - an iconic building, designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, opened in 1929 as a memorial to William Booth, the founder and 1st General (1878–1912) of the Salvation Army.</p>
<p>Happy Caching!<br />

<p>The vehicle in front of you is an FV-433 Abbot Self-Propelled Gun (SPG). It is <b>not</b> a tank. Tanks provide Direct Fire where you engage targets within line of sight. SPGs provide IBE capability (Indirect Battlefield Engagement) where the target can be situated many kilometers away.</p>
<p>It is a variant of the FV-430 series of Armoured Fighting Vehicles (AFVs). The most common variant of this series was the FV-432 Armoured Personnel Carrier (APC) which was used to carry troops into battle and provide limited direct fire support.</p>
<p>In the early to mid 90's, the FV-430 series (except FV-433) was replaced by the FV-510 series, commonly known as Warrior. FV-433 was replaced by a more specialised SPG, the AS-90 (Artillery System for the 90's).</p>
<p>The AS-90 uses 155mm rounds and has a maximum range of around 30km (or 40km for Extended Range rounds). It is capable of a burst of 3 rounds in 10 seconds. The introduction of the AS-90 was a great step up in capability from the FV-433 which used 105mm rounds with a maximum range of 17.4 km and a maximum rate of fire of 6–8 rounds per minute.</p>
<p>My very first job out of university was working on improving the accuracy of AS-90 and analysis for Project Braveheart, which looked to extend the barrel of AS-90 from 39 calibre to 52 calibre in order to increase the maximum effective distance. This project was later shelved due to excessive barrel wear. In order to increase the maximum distance, additional propellant is required and it was this that caused the additional wear. In addition, the longer barrel was more prone to warping in the hot sun and, when firing a round up to 45km, even a small change significantly affects the accuracy.</p>
<p>Another part of my job was to create the interior layout of a future AFV named FRES. This vehicle would be capable of fulfilling the roles of all variants of FV-510 (Warrior). The idea was that the interior could be extracted like a shipping container and replaced quickly with another interior so a command vehicle could quickly become an ambulance, or a REME vehicle could become an APC. Having the same shell vehicle with replaceable interiors would improve versatility and reduce logistics and cost.</p>
<p>It should be noted that, firstly, all information above is unclassified and, secondly, I was not fired from my first job, but left of my own volition. :-)</p>

<p>If you walk to the given coordinates you will find a peaceful corner of Hyde Park with rock with the following inscription in the front:</p>
<p><em>“This stone was erected by the Royal Norwegian Navy and the Norwegian merchant fleet in the year 1978. We thank the British people for their friendship and hospitality during the second world war. You gave us a safe haven during our common struggle for freedom and peace.”</em></p>
<p>And the following on the reverse side:</p>
<p><em>“This boulder was brought here from Norway where it was worn and shaped for thousands of years by forces of nature – frost, running water, rock, sand and ice – until it obtained its present shape, untouched by Man”</em></p>
<p> </p>
<p>The rock is a glacial erratic granite with pegamatites from the Vassfaret mountain area in the Norwegian inland. A glacial erratic is a piece of rock that differs from the size and type of rock native to the area in which it rests. "Erratics" take their name from the Latin word errare, and are carried by glacial ice, often over distances of hundreds of kilometres. The erratic rock is left behind when the glacier retracted. The rock have been frozen into the glacier and then transported when the glacier has moved over the land. The rock may have been transported over long distances, thus the property of the rock may be totally different to the local bedrock.  By studying the rock it is possible to estimate from where the rock has originally come from and consequently in which direction the glacier has moved. By studying the smoothness and the edges of the rock, it is possible to estimate if the rock has been located at the bottom of the glacier or if it has been totally embedded into the ice.</p>
<p>Granite is a common type of felsic intrusive igneous rock which is granular in texture. Granits mainly consist of feldspar, quartz, mica, and amphibole minerals. These form interlocking somewhat equigranular matrix of feldspar and quartz with scattered darker biotite mica and amphibole (often hornblende) peppering the lighter color minerals. Occasionally some individual crystals (phenocrysts) are larger than the groundmass, in which case the texture is known as porphyritic. Granites can be predominantly white, pink, or gray in color, depending on their mineralogy. By definition, granite is an igneous rock with at least 20% quartz (appears as white colored crystals in the rock) and up to 65% alkali feldspar by volume.</p>
<p>The term pegmatitic rock refers to a rock that entirely consists of crystals (i.e. holocrystalline), it is an intrusive igneous (from magma or lava) rock composed of interlocking large crystals usually large enough to be visible with the naked eye (i.e. phaneritic), up to 2.5 cm in size. Most pegmatites are composed of quartz, feldspar and mica, having a similar basic composition as granite. The crystal size is the most striking feature of this rock.  </p>
<p>This granite is estimated to be approximately 900 million years old, hence is predate the Caledonian orogeny that was a mountain building era recorded in the northern parts of the British Isles, the Scandinavian Mountains, Svalbard, eastern Greenland and parts of north-central Europe. The Caledonian orogeny encompasses events that occurred from the Ordovician to Early Devonian, roughly 490-390 million years ago (Ma). This type of granite is commonly found in Norway and is typical found as a part of the higher Jotun-Valdres nappe. The rock was probably encapsulated into ice in one of the later ice ages (the latest ended about 10000 years ago) and transported as a part of the glacier down from the highland.</p>

LongDescription:
The multi has two waypoints and the final is a nano cache with a log but no pen so you will need to bring one with you. You will also need a sheet of paper to do your calculations.

Due to the surrounding buildings, the accuracy of GPS reception here may be inaccurate but you should easily be able to find the information you need at the various waypoints.

Parking: Please note that all the waypoints and caches are located within the London congestion charging zone (operational Monday-Friday, check cclondon.com for details). Also parking charges are high in this area so public transport is recommended.
Suggested tube stations: Baker Street or Regent’s Park

Please feel free to mention your timing in the log as this will assist future geocachers in their quest!

START

This church is located over the Tyburn river (formerly known as the Ty bourne) which originally flowed from Hampstead down to Westminster Abbey. It is now contained entirely underground. The church is named after St Mary the Virgin by the Bourne (hence Marylebone).

Look at the plaque above the door of the church. To find your next co-ordinates, convert the date of the church’s consecration into DD/MM/YYYY format, which correspond to the letters as follows: AB/CD/EFGH

The co-ordinates of the first waypoint are:
N51 31.(D+E)(E)(H) W0 09.(E)(C)(F)

First waypoint:  
You are standing close to a small monument commemorating a very well known Methodist and his brother. 

Ignoring the last digit of the Roman numeral on the monument (the letter M), calculate the year that it was erected (1856) this will be ABCD. Then, using the surname of the brothers mentioned, allocate a number according to where each letter falls in the alphabet, e.g. A=1, B=2 etc. IMPORTANT: where a letter corresponds to a two digit number, use the second number only (e.g. M=13 therefore use the number 3). This is EFGHIJ

The co-ordinates of the second waypoint are:
N51 31.0(C+H)(G) W0 09.(A)(C-A)(E+A)

While en-route to your next waypoint, you may wish to call in on the Cemetery Gates geocache (GC22YGZ).

Second waypoint: 
The church you find yourself standing outside is of early Gothic design and ranks as one of the most attractive in London. Built entirely of stone, the arches of the nave are supported by pillars with marble colonettes.  I hope you get a chance to have a look inside.

To find your way to the next waypoint, look at the red sign in front of you. Using the same method as you did in the last clue, assign a number for each letter for the FIRST WORD IN THE BOTTOM ROW of the sign. This is ABCDEFGHI.

The co-ordinates for the Part I cache are:
N51 (B+C)(D-E).(H+C)(E+G)(C) W0 0(F+B+C).(G-D)(G)(A-C)

Once you have located the cache, you may like to visit the nearby gallery in the same square that you are now standing in. One of London’s most renowned art collections, it is free to visit and is open from 10-5 every day. There are some very famous paintings here!

ShortDescription:
This multi-cache is designed to take you on a wander through the lesser-known streets of Marylebone. The total walk from end to end is approximately 15 minutes, so with the added time of calculating your waypoint co-ordinates this multi will probably take no more than an hour.

<p>Angel Underground Station is one of five stations on the system named after a public house - in this case the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angel,_London" target="_blank">Angel Inn</a>, which dates back to at least 1638. It is also the site of the London Undergrounds longest escalator. At 60m in length and with a descent of 27.4m it can also boast to be the longest in the UK.</p>
<p>The station and its escalator gained notoriety when Peter Olenick decided to see if it could be used as a ski run. You can see his video <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFqQOlYE4EE/" target="_blank">here</a>. <strong>Disclaimer: Please do not try this. It's clearly dangerous and is against local by-laws.</strong></p>
<p>Angel Undergound station was originally built in 1901 and its entrance was around the corner from its current location, on the corner of Torrens St. and City Road. It had deep lifts descending to the platforms. As with other stations on the northern line it was originally built with a single central island platform 12ft wide (like at Clapham North and Clapham Common). But due to congestion this became a major safety issue. Consequently the station was rebuilt, re-opening in 1992 on Islington High Street. Because of the distance of the new entrance to the platforms, and their depth, two flights of escalators were required aligned at right angles.</p>
<p>The middle level, at the bottom of the long escalator, is for planned future expansion as a proposed station on the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chelsea-Hackney_line" target="_blank">Chelsea-Hackney Line Project</a> (the so called 'Crossrail 2'). But for this, the escalators would have been even longer.</p>
<br />
<p><strong>To solve the coordinates of the cache</strong> you need to go inside the station entrance to the ticket hall. You do not need to go through the ticket barriers unless you want to ride the escalator. [1] On the north wall is a clock, and to the left hand side of the clock is an electrical box with a number plate below starting ANS nnnnn. The numbers nnnnn are ABCDE.</p>
<p>The final coordinates are given by the following equation.</p>
<p><strong>N 51 31.(A+5)(B+5)(C+5)<br />
W 00 06.(Dx2)(E+6)(Ax2)</strong><br /></p>
<p>For the curious; The longest escalator in the EU is claimed to be in the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Keu2QBCOoCs&amp;feature=related" target="_blank">Namesti Miru station</a> in Prague, Czech Republic (Length 87m, depth 43m), and the longest in the world at the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2Gt68seUXU&amp;feature=related" target="_blank">Park Pobedy station</a> in the Moscow Metro (length of 126m, station depth 83m), the deepest in the world.</p>

<h1>From a Swan to the Canary</h1>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A series of caches from Swan Pier to Canary Wharf using the Riverside (Thames) path. The journey will take you past the Tower of London, through the St Katharine Docks (a separate mystery cache “Katherine and Thomas” to try there), then through the Hermitage Basin of the old Western docks on to Shadwell Basin before rejoining the Thames past Limehouse basin before reaching Docklands. A wide variety of cache styles from nanos to regulars.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As with a lot of urban caches you’ll need to be sensitive of local residents and be aware of potential watchers (whether in homes or offices or via security cameras). However, if you are approached by either Police or Security Officers avoid acting suspiciously and explain what you are doing.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I would recommend avoiding doing this one during weekday commute and lunch times. A good selection of pubs and restaurants towards the end of the series.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When we set this series my friend was taking photos using a camera mounted on a tripod: a wonderful excuse to hang around a particular area without attracting too much attention!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Good public transport connections at either end, the Docklands Light Railway is generally not too far away in the section between St Katharine Docks and Lime House Basin.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">No need to go into any private areas or onto flowerbeds etc for any of these. Generally flat and well paved throughout.</p>
<h1>The cache: Tobacco Bat</h1>
<p class="MsoNormal">The route now takes us past the old Tobacco Dock. Look on Wikipedia here <a rel="nofollow" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tobacco_Dock" title="Wikipedia Tobacco Dock entry">Wiki: Tobacco_Dock</a> for more info and history.

LongDescription:
This is a short multi (@15 minutes total) taking you to a nice church, and churchyard/garden, in the heart of Knightsbridge, London. <b>PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU SHOULD ONLY ATTEMPT THIS IN DAYLIGHT, AS THE GARDEN IS CLOSED FROM DUSK.</b><br />
<br />
The above co-ordinates are NOT for the final cache, which is NOT on the church grounds. The container is a magnetic keysafe. There is a log sheet only so please bring your own pen. The co-ordinates on the cache page take you to the junction of Brompton Road with the start of the driveway/path that leads down to the church.<br />
<br />
This church was designed in the gothic style by Thomas Leverton Donaldson. It was built between 1826 and 1829, and is currently a Grade II listed building. Some time after its construction a portion of its land was sold to the Roman Catholic Church in order for them to build the Brompton London Oratory. This created a long driveway from Brompton road to the church, which may mean that these days the church is often overlooked by passers by. The church has been modified over the years, the most recent major modification being during the 1980s when the crypt was rebuilt to provide meeting rooms and a bookshop. The church is currently run by HTB - click <a href="http://www.htb.org.uk/about-htb/history">here</a> for more info.<br />
<br />
To find the cache, start by standing on the pavement at the published co-ordinates, looking northwards towards the church. There is a brick wall on your left running all the way down the driveway/path. This has large black square lights attached to it. Count the lights as you walk down the driveway towards the church, until you reach a red emergency exit sign fixed to the wall (this will be before you reach the wooden 'sentry box'). The number of lights is AB.<br />
<br />
Straight ahead (facing the church) you will see a door leading down to the basement church book shop. Count the number of steps leading down to the cafe/book shop. This is CD.<br />
<br />
Now head westwards, walking around the side of the church to the garden at the back (don't worry about the barrier or the guard in the sentry box - the security is just for car parking: pedestrians can walk through with no problem - you may even wish to give the guard a cheery wave as you pass by). The churchyard/garden is highly valued by locals and office workers, as it is a pretty and peaceful place to visit away from all the concrete and traffic along Brompton Road. You may wish to eat your picnic lunch here, or exit through the north gate to explore the adjacent cobbled mews streets. Don't forget to look back and up at the church, to admire it's tall clock tower. Whilst in the garden, wander around and count how many STONE benches (not wooden ones) there are. This is E.<br />
<br />
The final cache NOT on the church grounds, but is only a a short walk away at:<br />
<br />
N51 29.(3xB)(C+E)(B-D)<br />
W000 10.(2xE)(2xB)(A-C)<br />
<br />
The check sum for the numbers in the final co-ordinates (using all the numbers in the Northings and Westings, both already given plus those that need to be calculated) should add up to 40.<br />
<br />
We believe this cache is wheelchair and buggy friendly, as there are tarmac/stone paths for the whole of the route, including ramps to reach different levels. Wheelchair users may or may not need slight assistance in reaching for the actual cache container. We hope you enjoy this little exploration of the church and its grounds.<br />
<br />

LongDescription:
<p>In 1838 a church was built by the edge of the Canal at the end of Ruby Street, it was initially called St Thomas, but by 1842 the name had been changed to Christ Church</p>
<p>The rapid expansion of nearby Gas Works led to the demolition of the original building after only 30 years, and in 1868 a new church was built on the present site on the Old Kent Road</p>
<p>In September 1941 the Luftwaffe struck. The church was badly damaged by bombs much was destroyed and the church remained a ruin for fifteen years. The church has since been restored, and further modernised within the last decade.</p>
<p>To find the cache you need some numbers<br />

This is the first of several caches that I'd like to place in Ruskin Park when I get time. I go there every day to walk my dog and I am a member of the Friends of Ruskin Park, a group that tries to foster interest in the park and meets to help to upkeep it's facilities and wildlife. 

Ruskin Park gets its name from John Ruskin, the famous artist, writer and social campaigner, who lived nearby from 1823 to 1871.  At the start of the 20th Century local residents successfully campaigned for a new park on 24 acres of land in DenmarkHill, and Ruskin Park was officially opened to the public on 2nd February 1907.  The Park was laid out by the famous parks designer Lt. Colonel J.J. Sexby.  In 1910 Ruskin Park was enlarged by the addition of a further 12 acres of land to the South, which is now used for football and informal exercise or walking.

<p>The illustration shows a detail from the large mural covering the whole side of the Library in Cable Street E1, which can be viewed from Library Passage.<br />
This commemorates the events of October 4th 1936, when Sir Oswald Moseley planned to lead a march of the black-shirted members of the British Movement of Fascists through the streets of East London and to hold street meetings in five boroughs, as a provocative show of strength.<br />
<br /></p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSaXJdGmnW0">Link to YouTube newsclip</a></p>
<br />
The local population who were predominantly Jewish or politically left-wing or perhaps both, strongly opposed the march.<br />
The five local mayors went and appealed beforehand to the Home Secretary, Sir John Simon, to ban the march; but were only able to speak to the deputy under secretary.<br />
Some Jews presented a hastily prepared petition signed by nearly 100,000 people; but the Home Office refused to act.<br />
By 1936, the Hitler had been in control of Germany for three years, had remilitarised the Rhineland and introduced anti-Semitic laws, Mussolini had invaded Abyssinia, Franco had started a civil war in Spain. and British Fascists had been escalating anti-Semitic attacks in the East End. So, the East End was more concerned about the threat of Fascism than was the British government at that time.<br />
The Fascists gathered near the Tower and the police tried to force a way through the massed crowd blocking the streets, to allow the march to proceed.<br />
This struggle became known as the Battle of Cable Street. Despite a number of arrests, the proposed march had to be abandoned.<br />
One result of the episode was that shortly after this, parliament passed a law banning political parties from wearing uniforms.<br />

LongDescription:
This section of the canal was built after the Camden Town to Paddington arm, in 1820. This basin, the nearest to the City of London soon eclipsed the Paddington Basin in the amount of goods carried, principally for coal and building materials. Goods that were being shipped locally, in contrast to the canal's original purpose of transshipping imports to the Midlands. The opening of the London and Birmingham Railway in 1838 actually increased the tonnage of coal carried by the canal. However, by 1929, with the Midlands trade lost to the railways, and more deliveries made by road, the canal – and this basin, fell into a long decline.

During summertime this area is highly popular recreation area and muggles are frequently passing the site both walking and on bikes.
Stealth is required.

<p style="text-align:center;"> </p>
<p><strong>The Great Fire</strong><br />
Following the Great Fire of London in 1666 the timber trade between Norway/Denmark and England grew considerably. Many Norwegians settled in London, and they worked hard to get their own church – their first congregation took place in 1692 and the first Danish-Norwegian church was consecrated in Wapping in 1696. It was both parish church as well as a seamen's church for the many Danish and Norwegian sailors arriving on the Thames.<br />
<br />
<strong>The 19th Century</strong><br />
After the Napoleonic Wars, Norway was ceded to Sweden and the church was dissolved. Norwegian shipping flourished during the 1800's, and on Pentecost 1868 the first Norwegian priest started his work in Rotherhithe. A new church, consecrated in 1872, was built near the Surrey Commercial Docks and it became the parish church for expatriate Norwegians in London.<br />
<br />
<strong>The New Church</strong><br />
After some 50 years a building plot was purchased next to the entrance to the Rotherhithe Tunnel. The foundation stone was laid in 1926 by the then Crown Prince Olav, who was also present when the church was consecrated on the 26th June 1927. The church celebrated its 75 anniversary in 2002 in the presence of the The King and Queen of Norway.<br />
<br />
<strong>The War</strong><br />
During the second war, this was the church of the exiled Norwegian King, Crown Prince, and Government, as well as the local Norwegian population. The church was pro-Cathedral, where priests were ordained for service in the free world and from where King Haakon 7 broadcast many of his great speeches to the Norwegian people. The special link between the Norwegian Royal Family and the church is evident to this day.</p>

<h1>From a Swan to the Canary</h1>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A series of caches from Swan Pier to Canary Wharf using the Riverside (Thames) path. The journey will take you past the Tower of London, through the St Katharine Docks (a separate mystery cache “Katherine and Thomas” to try there), then through the Hermitage Basin of the old Western docks on to Shadwell Basin before rejoining the Thames past Limehouse basin before reaching Docklands. A wide variety of cache styles from nanos to regulars.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As with a lot of urban caches you’ll need to be sensitive of local residents and be aware of potential watchers (whether in homes or offices or via security cameras). However, if you are approached by either Police or Security Officers avoid acting suspiciously and explain what you are doing.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I would recommend avoiding doing this one during weekday commute and lunch times. A good selection of pubs and restaurants towards the end of the series.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When we set this series my friend was taking photos using a camera mounted on a tripod: a wonderful excuse to hang around a particular area without attracting too much attention!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Good public transport connections at either end, the Docklands Light Railway is generally not too far away in the section between St Katharine Docks and Lime House Basin.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">No need to go into any private areas or onto flowerbeds etc for any of these. Generally flat and well paved throughout.</p>

Dilston Grove (formerly known as Clare College Mission Church) is located on the edge of Southwark Park and was the first concrete church to be built in this country.<br />
Built at a reputed cost of 2,718 pounds, sixteen shillings and four pence in 1911 by John Simpson &amp; Maxwell Ayrton, architects of the old Wembley stadium, the Church of the Epiphany in London’s Southwark Park was something of a wonder when under construction.<br />
A century later, this monolithic, Tuscan-inspired church is Grade-II listed and ‘the best-kept arts secret in Britain’ .<br />
The vandalised leaded lights of the nave windows have been encased between sheets of clear polycarbonate.<br />
'To go through the door is to enter a wonderland' – the main exhibition space within the nave beyond is an architectural experience worth travelling ‘from many parts of the country’ for.<br />

<p>The tunnel shaft and pumping house were constructed between 1825 and 1843. Since 1961 the original Brunel Engine House has been used as a museum and tells the story of the tunnel, the team who built it and the dangers that they overcame.</p>

The Regents Canal offers many places to hide caches for the amusement of the towpath walker, and wheras this one is not unique in its hiding place, it might still surprise the searcher when it is located.
 The hide offers good views of a wide collection of historic narrow boats belonging to the London Canal Museum, and is overlooked in turn by a very modern office development.

 Over the years I have constructed several different containers for this cache as they have gone missing. I would not rely on the gallery to show you what you are currently searching for.

<p>The former Mary Seacole House on Clapham High Street has been replaced by The Library Building, designed by Studio Egret West. The new public library on the ground and basement is based around a spiral design, connecting to the new health centre, a café, performance space and community rooms. Artist Andrew Logan created the public art for the project which was unveiled at a celebratory event in July 2012.

LongDescription:
Three things about Garnet Street you might like to know: 1. MURDER. In the days when this road was known as New Gravel Lane, The King's Arms pub stood at number 81, probably behind the wall across the road from the cache. It was here, in December 1811, that the publican, his wife and their maid were found battered to death. This came 12 nights after a savage attack that left four dead in their home at nearby 29 Ratcliffe Highway . Londoners were familiar with violent attacks in the street at night, and this area had a particularly bad reputation for robbery. Yet news of the murders shocked Londoners because they took place inside people's homes. John Williams, the only suspect, hanged himself in prison. His body was carried on a cart past the houses of his victims and he was buried with a stake through his heart. The Ratcliffe Highway Murders, however, remain officially unsolved and have been overshadowed by Jack the Ripper's reign of terror in 1888. 2. BRIDGE. There's a bascule bridge in the middle. At one time it could be raised when the dock was in use to allow ships to enter. 3. ALF GARNETT. The house seen in the opening and closing titles of early, 1960s episodes of BBC sitcom Till Death Us Do Part was located at the other end of Garnet Street. It's from this street that writer Johnny Speight took the Garnett family name (Alf was called Alf Ramsey in the pilot episode!) The houses were demolished in the 1980s though, and a terrace of newer homes and an estate agents now stand in their place. For Americans, Till Death Us Do Part is the show that inspired All in the Family.

<center>St. Pancras Old Church in 1815: Bathers in the River Fleet</center>
<p><strong>This Cache:</strong> St. Pancras Old Church is believed to be one of the oldest sites of Christian worship in England and a church has stood on this site since A.D. 314. The surrounding area and its international railway station (to your right) are named after this church and its parish. Pre-14th century the parish stretched from Oxford Street almost to Highgate. However in the 14th century the population abandoned the site and moved to Kentish Town. The reason? - Because the site was vulnerable to flooding by the River Fleet which ran through its grounds. The old church fell into disrepair, and as a result of 18th and 19th century expansion a St. Pancras New Church was built on Euston Road in 1822. By 1890 there were 33 ecclesiastical churches in the old parish of this church. The picture above, dated 1815, clearly shows bathers by the River Fleet which curves round in front of the church.</p>
<p>The churchyard is notable, and you may want to have a walk around: The architect Sir John Soane designed a tomb for his wife and himself in the churchyard, which is now listed Grade I. It’s design provided the inspiration for the iconic red telephone boxes by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott. Other people associated with the churchyard include the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley and the future Mary Shelley, who planned their elopement over meetings at the grave of her mother, Mary Wollstonecraft. In the mid-19th century the writer Thomas Hardy, then a trainee architect, was involved in the controversial clearance of part of the churchyard to make way for the railway. The Hardy Tree, surrounded by a swirl of tombstones is named after gravestones moved at that time. On 28 July 1968, The Beatles were photographed in the churchyard grounds, in a famous series of pictures designed to promote the single "Hey Jude" and the album The Beatles, better known as The White Album. A recent addition is a polished marble stone at the entrance to the church, a collaboration between and a gift from the poet Jeremy Clarke and the sculptor Emily Young. It is inscribed: "And I am here / in a place / beyond desire or fear", an extract from the long poem "Praise" by Clarke.</p>

Mary suffered from periodic bouts of mental illness and had stabbed
their mother to death in 1796. Charles had himself made her legal
guardian to prevent her being placed permanently in an asylum. The
pair entertained many eminent literary friends at the house
including John Keats, William Hazlett, William Wordsworth, Samuel
Taylor Coleridge, Robert Southey and Leigh Hunt.</p>
<p>At this time the New River, a man-made waterway created in 1613
to provide fresh water for London from the River Lee, flowed along
what is now Duncan Terrace. Charles wrote of an unfortunate
incident involving his friend the poet George Dyer, who was both
forgetful and short-sighted, in The London Magazine. <a href=

<i>The Building of Islington Tunnel</i><br />
<br />
At this time the canal tunnel would have passed under the New River
but in 1852, as a response to Cholera outbreaks, the Metropolis
Water Act was passed requiring all water supplied in London to be
filtered. The New River Company constructed reservoirs, filter beds
and a pumping house at Stoke Newington and the section of the new
river between Stoke Newington and Clerkenwell was enclosed in
pipes. Unlike another location where the New River crossed a

<p>Close to the this location, at the opposite end of Islington
Green, lies the former Collins's Music Hall. It opened in 1862 but
was rebuilt with the current facade in 1897. At it's height between
92 and 162 acts were put on each evening and performers who starred
there included Charlie Chaplin, George Formby and Gracie Fields
among others. In 1958, a fire in the timber yard behind it,
destroyed much of the building and the music hall closed for
good.The shell of the that building is now the Waterstones bookshop
and a blue memorial plaque to the Music Hall can be seen on the

<br />
<p>As quoted in the Daily Telegraph Obituary: <em>"His break came
in December 1945 at the Collins Hall, Islington, a venue for new
variety turns. He had followed the manager everywhere for three
weeks asking for a chance. Billed as "The Successful
Failure", he produced an act that was a synthesis of his
experiences and would never change. Wisdom was life's victim,
a gormless, game village idiot. Mime and pratfalls were his
stock-in-trade, dance and song mere distractions, as he clowned
with musical instruments that shut on his fingers or was knocked
out by his boxing shadow. It was silly, unsophisticated fun —
and austerity audiences lapped it up. One teenage schoolgirl
laughed so hard that she dislocated her jaw. Within two years
Wisdom was a West End star."</em></p>
<p>At the height of his career, the Norman Wisdom franchise was
earning more than the James Bond franchise. He went on from here to
appear in 19 films and 32 television sitcoms. A Guardian website
tribute - "A Life in Clips", showing some of his best moments, can

LongDescription:
A box of Watson’s memorabilia of Sherlock Holmes has been stolen from his club in Piccadilly. A note left at the scene of the crime tells you that <a href="http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=ef78423f-1d0b-4048-a88e-e15174f554a1">the booty</a> is hidden at the following co-ordinates -<br />
<p align="center"><b>North AB CD.Q(N-Q)E</b><br />
<b>West HJ GK.P(M-F)E</b></p>
To turn the letters to numbers, you have to visit a series of London locations suggested by the thief (is the evil Moriarty playing with you?). The virtual caches are independent of each other, so you can visit them in any order. It is possible to complete this in one day, and to do so, we suggest you follow the caches in ascending numerical order to save yourself journey time and costs. However, each cache is chosen to be in an interesting, and hopefully slightly less well-known, area of London - so you may prefer to explore the area around each of them. Bring a guide book!<br />

LongDescription:
<p><strong><u>Access</u></strong></p>
<p>The site is about 700m north of the two railway stations. Follow Midland Road north on the west side of St Pancras and you will find the church on your right. Alternatively walk north up Pancras Road between Kings Cross and St Pancras stations and continue up Camley Street, under the Midland mainline and you will find a footpath into Pancras Gardens on your left. The gardens are open from 7am to dusk.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong><u>The church</u></strong></p>
<p>The small church was rescued from dereliction in Victorian times, and has a long history. Legend has it that the first church here dated to AD314. There are fragments of Roman material in the building’s walls. Mention in the Domesday Book suggests a church was here before the Norman invasion. Some of the church’s remaining architectural features are Norman in origin, although obscured by later restoration. In the grounds is the ‘Hardy Tree’. When the Midland mainline was constructed through the church yard many graves had to be moved, and their headstones were arranged around a tree under the direction of the novelist and poet Thomas Hardy, who was an architectural surveyor at the time.</p>

<p><strong><u>The headstones</u></strong></p>
<p>The graveyard contains the burials of several well-known people, including:</p>
<ul>
<li>Sir John Soane, architect of the Bank of England and Dulwich Picture Gallery. His impressive tomb is worth a look.</li>
<li>JC Bach, composer, buried in a pauper’s grave in 1782.</li>
<li>John Flaxman, sculptor.</li>
<li>Mary Wollstonecraft, writer and philosopher (there is a memorial, but her remains have been removed elsewhere)</li>
</ul>
<p>Many of the names of headstones lost due to railway expansion and clearance to create the park, can be found on the impressive Burdett Coutts Memorial dating from 1877.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong><u>Weathering</u></strong></p>
<p>Rich or poor, young or old, your headstone once erected will begin to weather. Weathering is the in situ breakdown of rocks into smaller fragments and new chemical compounds. It differs from erosion in that no movement (due to wind, water or ice) is involved. There are three types of weathering:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Mechanical</strong> – a physical force breaks down rocks into smaller fragments. Freeze-thaw action (frost shattering) is the most well-known type where expanding ice forces cracks to open splitting rocks apart. The growth of salt crystals in cracks in coastal rocks works in a similar way.</li>
<li><strong>Chemical</strong> – rocks are attacked by acids and dissolved by solution weathering; rainfall is weak carbonic acid although the acidity of rainfall (and its potential as a weathering agent) can be dramatically increased by pollution. Iron compounds weather by oxidation, and the mineral feldspar found in granite weathers by hydrolysis to produce clay minerals.</li>
<li><strong>Biological</strong> – plants and tree roots can split rocks apart, and acids released by algae and lichens growing on rocks can also cause weathering.</li>
</ol>
<p>Generally, sedimentary rocks (sandstone, limestone) weather more quickly than igneous rocks (granite, basalt) or metamorphic rocks (marble, slate).</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong><u>The questions</u></strong></p>
<p>To log this earthcache, please answer the following questions and email or message us the answers. You can log without waiting for a reply, we will contact you if there is a problem. We will endeavour the reply to each email / message.</p>
<p>Waypoint 1: Go to the Burdett Coutts memorial. Find a pair of headstones to Ann &amp; William Birch (left) and Robert Purchese (right) against the green fence.</p>
<p>1a: Which headstone is more heavily weathered?</p>
<p>1b: Suggest a reason for the difference in degree of weathering.</p>
<p>Waypoint 2: Find the headstone of “the beloved daughter of William and Mary Jones”.</p>
<p>2a: Examine the very bottom of the headstone, and estimate how deeply weathered it is compared to the relatively unweathered surface with the inscription on. Measure in mm, or any other suitable unit.</p>
<p>2b: Why do you think the base of the headstone is more weathered than the upper part?</p>
<p>Waypoint 3: In this location, south of the church, are a number of rectangular tombs which are mostly made from white limestone. The Rhodes tomb is an exception, it is red granite.</p>
<p>3a: Describe the effect of weathering on the limestone surface and inscriptions.</p>
<p>3b: What type of weathering do you think has affected the limestone tombs, and why might this be worse in a city like London, compared to the countryside?</p>
<p>4 If you wish to (optional task), take a photo of you / your GPSr at the church or one of the headstones. No spoiler photos please.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We hope you enjoy visiting this fascinating little corner of London.</p>

<p><span style="font-family:tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:medium;">You are looking at the largest and heaviest fossil in the collection of the Natural History Museum.  You do not need to enter the museum in order to visit GZ. This is part of a primitive tree, discovered in Craigleith Quarry, near Edinburgh in 1854.  The rocks from which it was excavated date from the Lower Carboniferous Period, over 330 million years ago.  This was the time when reptiles first appeared and much of the land was covered in a swampy forest.  The land upon which this tree grew was, at that time, somewhere near the equator.  </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:medium;">The petrification process occurs underground, when wood becomes buried under sediment and is initially preserved due to a lack of oxygen preventing decomposition.</span></p>

This can take place extremely slowly, replicating the microscopic structure of the organism. The slower the rate of the process, the better defined the microscopic structure will be. The minerals commonly involved in replacement are calcite, silica, pyrite, and haematite.</span><span style="line-height:22px;"> It is rare to find organisms preserved by replacement alone (as opposed to in combination with permineralisation), but these fossils present significant importance to paleontologists because these fossils tend to be very detailed.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p>

Commentators on the architecture have also speculated that the use of Egyptian decoration was used to create an association of the "luxury" image of smoking with the treasures of Ancient Egypt.<sup><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carreras_Cigarette_Factory#cite_note-Humbert-4">[4]</a></sup></p>
<p>Furthermore, between the 1880s and the end of World War 1, the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_cigarette_industry" title="Egyptian cigarette industry">Egyptian cigarette industry</a> was a globally successful manufacturer and exporter of cigarettes. Non-Egyptian tobacco companies adopted Egyptian motifs in their advertising to take advantage of this. Although the Egyptian industry had begun to decline by the late 1920s as popular taste shifted away from the Turkish tobacco it used.</p>
<p>The building was opened to great fanfare; a ceremony held in front of the building involved covering the pavements in front of the building with sand to replicate the deserts of Egypt. There was a procession of cast members from a contemporary London production of Verdi's opera <em><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aida" title="Aida">Aida</a></em>, actors in Ancient Egyptian costume performed around the "temple" structure, and a chariot race was held on the Hampstead Road.<sup><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carreras_Cigarette_Factory#cite_note-Humbert-4">[4]</a></sup></p>

<p>Dominating the entrance to the building were two large 8.5-foot (2.6 m)-high bronze statues of cats, stylised versions of the Egyptian god <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bastet" title="Bastet">Bastet</a> (or <em>Bubastis</em>, or <em>Bast</em>), which had been cast at the Haskins Foundry in London. The image of a black cat was a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brand" title="Brand">branding device</a> which Carreras used on the packets of their <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craven_A" title="Craven A">Craven A</a> range of cigarettes.<sup><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carreras_Cigarette_Factory#cite_note-Humbert-4">[4]</a></sup> The building had thus been conceived as a "temple" to Bastet, and the architects' original drawings reveal that it was to be named <em>Bast House</em> (the name was dropped due to unfortunate similarities to derogatory words in English).<sup><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carreras_Cigarette_Factory#cite_note-curl-5">[5]</a></sup></p>
<p>The cats stood guard over Arcadia Works until 1959 when Carreras merged with <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rothmans" title="Rothmans">Rothmans</a> of Pall Mall and moved to a new factory in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basildon" title="Basildon">Basildon</a>, Essex. The cats were removed from the building and separated; one was transported to Essex to stand at the Basildon works, the other exported to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamaica" title="Jamaica">Jamaica</a> to stand outside the Carreras factory in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_Town" title="Spanish Town">Spanish Town</a>.</p>
<p>In 1960-62 the Camden Arcadia Works were converted into offices. The building was refurbished and stripped of all its Egyptian decoration, which was now out of fashion, in an attempt to give it a simpler, more <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modernist_architecture" title="Modernist architecture">Modernist</a> appearance. At this time it was renamed <em>Greater London House</em>.<sup><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carreras_Cigarette_Factory#cite_note-Humbert-4">[4]</a></sup><sup><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carreras_Cigarette_Factory#cite_note-donald-6">[6]</a></sup></p>
<p>In 1996 the building was purchased by <a class="new" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Resolution_GLH&amp;action=edit&amp;redlink=1" title="Resolution GLH (page does not exist)">Resolution GLH</a> who commissioned architects <a class="new" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Finch_Forman&amp;action=edit&amp;redlink=1" title="Finch Forman (page does not exist)">Finch Forman</a> to restore the building to its former glory. The restorers consulted the original designs and aimed to recreate 80-90% of the original Art Deco features, including installing replicas of the famous cat statues.

<h2>Architecture</h2>
<p>The Carreras Cigarette Factory was faced in Atlas White <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cement" title="Cement">cement</a>, coloured to look like sand.

ShortDescription:
The Carreras Cigarette Factory is a large Art Deco building in Camden, London in the United Kingdom. It is noted as a striking example of early 20th Century Egyptian Revival architecture. The building was erected in 1926-28 by the Carreras Tobacco Company owned by the Russian-Jewish inventor and philanthropist Bernhard Baron on the communal garden area of Mornington Crescent, to a design by architects M.E and O.H Collins and A.G Porri. It is 550 feet (168 metres) long, and is mainly white.

<p>Cloudesley Square was begun in 1825 by carpenter John Emmett,
who released land from the Cloudesley Estate and built along the
Liverpool Road from 1824 to 1826. A hexagonal railed garden at the
centre of the square surrounds Holy Trinity Church by Sir Charles
Barry, built 1826-29, the third of his Islington churches. The
square is named after 16th-century landowner Richard Cloudesley,
who gave land to the church. The church's stained glass east window
of 1828 shows Cloudesley kneeling. Holy Trinity was the district
church until the 1850s, when it was replaced by St Andrew's at
Thornhill Crescent. In 1980 it was leased by the Pentecostal Sect
as the Celestial Church of Christ, at which time the railings were
also restored.</p>

<strong>London Marylebone Station</strong><br />
<br />
<center><img src="http://img.geocaching.com/cache/large/2988d368-9499-476d-ad96-e0e189f6f26f.jpg?rnd=0.09626406" /></center>
<br />
London Marylebone Station was the last main line station to be built in London completed in 1899. During its construction over 500 houses had to be demolished to make way for the station and homes found for the 3000 people displaced by its construction.<br />
<br />
Originally the terminus of the Great Central Railway (GCR) Main Line to Sheffield and Manchester. This line was closed in 1966 just north of Aylesbury, it now serves as the terminus for the Chiltern Railways.<br />
<br />
As well as the youngest of all of the London stations it is also the smallest, having opened with only half of the originally planned platforms (two) in 1899, a further 2 built a few years later and then a further 2 in 2006. It is also the only London station that hosts Diesel trains, having no electrified lines.<br />
<br />
Original plans for Marylebone show an eight-platform station, but with half of the platforms designated as a 'possible future extension'. The cost of building the GCR was far higher than expected, nearly bankrupting the company. Thus there was never enough money for the extra platforms, and only four platforms were built, three within the train shed and one west of the train shed (platform 4). As a result the concourse is unusually long and, for some 50 years, had only three walls, the northern wall being missing, since the GCR anticipated that the other four platforms, under an extended train shed, would be built later on. The cost of the London Extension also meant that the adjoining Great Central Hotel was built by a different company.<br />
<br />
Passenger traffic on the GCR was never heavy, perhaps because it was the last main line to be built, which meant it had difficulty competing against longer-established rivals (especially the Midland Railway and its terminal St Pancras) for the lucrative intercity passenger business. Furthermore, for 40miles (64km) between Aylesbury and Rugby the line traversed thinly-populated countryside, thus attracting little passenger business at intermediate stations.<br />
<br />
The GCR also struggled to compete with the Metropolitan Railway for 2nd- and 3rd-class traffic from nearby towns such as Harrow, Chesham and Aylesbury. However, the GCR had the upper hand on 1st-class travel between these towns, being quick, reliable and luxurious compared to the Met. Due to low passenger traffic, Marylebone was considered the quietest and most pleasant of London's termini. In 1903 there were only 14 daily passenger arrivals.<br />
<br />
While passenger traffic was sparse, the line was heavily used for freight, especially coal, and goods trains ran from the north and East Midlands to the former Marylebone freight depot which used to adjoin the station. The heyday of the line was between 1923, when the GCR was absorbed into the LNER and 1948, when the LNER was nationalised to form the British Rail Eastern Region. As a result many prestigious locomotives, such as Flying Scotsman, Sir Nigel Gresley, and Mallard which ran on the East Coast Main Line, were also frequent visitors to the line. Special trains also ran on the line to destinations such as Scotland.<br />
<br />
<center><img src="http://img.geocaching.com/cache/large/a5983d68-140e-4bae-9dcd-474c8171e427.png?rnd=0.09626406" /></center>
<br />
After the 1960s, lack of investment meant that the local services and the station itself became increasingly run down. Marylebone became the best place in London to see heritage trains. By the early 1980s Marylebone was under serious threat of closure. In 1983 British Rail chairman Peter Parker commissioned a report into the possibility of converting Marylebone into a 'high-speed bus way', whereby Marylebone would be converted into a coach station, The tracks between Marylebone and Harrow-on-the-Hill and South Ruislip would have been closed, and partly converted into a road for the exclusive use of buses and coaches.<br />
<br />
As part of this proposal, British Rail services via High Wycombe would have been diverted into nearby Paddington, and the Aylesbury services would have been taken over by London Underground as part of an extended Metropolitan Line, and then routed to Baker Street. These proposals were seriously considered, and closure notices were posted at Marylebone in 1984. The closure proposals proved controversial, and faced strong opposition from local authorities. However they ultimately proved to be impractical and were quietly dropped.<br />

<br />
The station today has gone through several moderations and is now a vibrant modern station. With Services running as far Birmingham and Aylesbury. Chiltern Railways fleet now include Class 82, 165 and 168. On the line that operates between Princess Risborough and Aylesbury a class 121 Bubble car.<br />

<br />
The building opposite Marylebone station is a hotel that was originally one of London's Victorian era railway hotels, the Great Central Hotel. It was first proposed by Sir Edward Watkin of the Great Central Railway who envisaged Marylebone station, which the hotel was to serve, as the hub of an international railway which would run through a channel tunnel. Sir Edward's aspirations proved to be overambitious (not for the only time as he was behind the Watkins' Tower, which was a failed attempt to outdo the Eiffel Tower), and after the Great Central ran into financial difficulties the site of the hotel was sold to Sir John Blundell Maple of the furniture company Maples, who opened his hotel in 1899. Marylebone station is one of the smallest of the central London termini, but its hotel was among the grandest of the London railway hotels. It had a clock tower and was built around a large central courtyard. There were two main entrances, one on the northern side facing the station and the other on the southern side towards Marylebone Road. The architect was Colonel Sir Robert William Edis and the style was eclectic and opulent.<br />
<br />
In the 1920s the central courtyard became a winter garden, but the building's first period as a hotel was drawing to a close. With railway traffic falling due to the advent of the motor car, London's railway hotels were among the most vulnerable of the city's grand hotels as they were not in the most fashionable districts. The Great Central fell out of hotel use for over forty years. It was a convalescent home during the Second World War and served as a military office building for many years afterwards as well as the headquarters of the British Railways Board, and was referred to by railway staff as "The Kremlin".<br />
<br />
It is now a privately owned hotel.<br />

<p><b>14 June 2015 - UPDATE</b>: It seems that I have over-estimated the general enthusiasm for field puzzles. I am therefore making the waypoints visible and provide an alternative, quick and easy solution that involves no letter conversions or coordinate calculations along the route. All you need to do is to pick up one number at stages 1 and 3 to 7. If you want to do it the hard way, don’t look at the waypoint coordinates – the original way is also set out below.</p>
<hr />
<p><strong>Quick and easy stroll:</strong></p>
<p>You will find k=k1k2k3k4 at stages 1, 3, 4, 7 and 7. Nothing to do at stage 2 and stage 5 is a bit different.</p>
<p><strong>Stage 1:</strong> A=(2·k2)+1</p>
<p><strong>Stage 2:</strong> Useful if you are on a bike but nothing to do here.</p>
<p><strong>Stage 3:</strong> B=k2-1</p>
<p><strong>Stage 4:</strong> C=k2-2</p>
<p><strong>Stage 5:</strong> There are D-2 lampposts in this alley. (Make sure to count the slightly overgrown one but not the one just <em>outside</em> the far end of the alley.)</p>
<p><strong>Stage 6:</strong> E=k1-3</p>
<p><strong>Stage 7:</strong> F=k2-k1</p>

<p><strong>Stage 1: N 51° 27.772 W 000° 08.450</strong></p>
<p>At the coordinates you will find the information needed to find the next stage. Once you find k=k1k2k3k4, head (28*k1)+k4 metres up the street (bearing (20*k3)+(2.2*k2)º) to find Stage 2.</p>
<p><strong>Stage 2: N 51° 27.??? W 000° 08.???</strong></p>
<p>Here you will find the required information on a different kind of object. The number of letters “e” gives you A, the number of letters “h” gives you B, the number of letters “c” gives you C and the number of letters “p” gives you D. The cross-sum is 10, just to be sure. A, B, C and D can be used to find stage 3.</p>
<p><strong>Stage 3: N 51° 27.(2*D)(A+D)(2*D+A) W 000° 08.C(A+D)A</strong></p>
<p>You have seen one of these before. Find k again. From here, carry on north up the street to the next junction and then:<br />
if k has as many letters as numbers: go straight ahead;<br />
if k has more letters than numbers: turn left;<br />
if k has less letters than numbers: turn right.<br />
Carry on in the direction indicated by k and you will soon see yet another one. You are now at Stage 4.</p>
<p>Whether you turn left or not, you can see the training tower of Clapham Fire Station a little bit to the left of the junction.</p>
<p><strong>Stage 4: N 51° 27.??? W 000° 08.???</strong></p>
<p>Another one like that. Find k=k1k2k3k4, with k3=AB and k4=CD. Just to be sure, the cross-sum of ABCD is 7. Use ABCD to find Stage 5.</p>
<p><strong>Stage 5: N 51° 28.D(A-C)D W 000° 08.(B-C)(B-A)(A+B)</strong></p>
<p>You find yourself at the entrance to an alley. There are A concrete posts and B metal posts at the entrance. Walk down the alley and count C lampposts in the alley (careful, one is a bit overgrown – make sure to count it but do not count the one just outside the alley at the far end). The cross-sum of ABC is 9. Use ABC to find Stage 6.</p>
<p><strong>Stage 6:</strong> <strong>N 51° 27.(A+B+C)A(A+B) W 000° 08.C(A+B+C)(A+B)</strong></p>
<p>By now you will be well familiar with these things. Find k=k1k2k3k4, continue west down the street and at the next junction turn left if k4 is even and right if k4 is odd.</p>
<p><strong>Stage 7: N 51° 27.??? W 000° 08.???</strong></p>
<p>When you reach another one of these by now familiar objects, find k=k1k2k3k4 to get A=k2; B=k1; C=k2-k1; D=k3-k2. The cross-sum of ABCD is 14. Use ABCD to find ground zero at the final location.</p>
<p><strong>Final:</strong> <strong>N 51° 27.ABC W 000° 08.BDC</strong></p>
<p>You made it and are back not too far from where you started. The cache is hidden in plain sight. Please use stealth for retrieving it, tying your shoe laces may be a good idea. <strong>Please replace the cache in the exact spot it was found making sure it is fully inserted.</strong></p>

<p>This cache is located on the plaza with a view over Canada Water lake, Plaza and Library.</p>

<p>The cache container is a small black box with room for small TBs and geocoins.</p>

<p>Please put it back where you find it and watch out for muggles coming from all directions! The Plaza is busy a lot of the time with fruit and food stalls and people skateboarding and free running.</p>

<p>So, the area is changing a lot - used to be docks for goods coming from Canada and Scandanavia, which is where all the names come from and apparently Canada Water Lake is the only freshwater lake in the docklands.</p>

<p>Parking for 4 hours at Surrey Quays shopping centre and Tube and Busses to Canada Water station. Enjoy!</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;"> A series of caches from Swan Pier to</span> <span style="font-family:Arial;">Canary</span> <span style="font-family:Arial;">Wharf</span> <span style="font-family:Arial;">using the</span> <span style="font-family:Arial;">Riverside</span> <span style="font-family:Arial;">(</span><span style="font-family:Arial;">Thames</span><span style="font-family:Arial;">) path. The journey will take you past the Tower of London, through the St Katharine Docks (a separate mystery cache “Katherine and Thomas” to try there), then through the Hermitage Basin of the old Western docks on to Shadwell Basin before rejoining the Thames past Limehouse basin before reaching Docklands. A wide variety of cache styles from nanos to regulars.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">As with a lot of urban caches you’ll need to be sensitive of local residents and be aware of potential watchers (whether in homes or offices or via security cameras). However, if you are approached by either Police or Security Officers avoid acting suspiciously and explain what you are doing.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">I would recommend avoiding doing this one during weekday commute and lunch times. A good selection of pubs and restaurants towards the end of the series.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">When we set this series my friend was taking photos using a camera mounted on a tripod: a wonderful excuse to hang around a particular area without attracting too much attention!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Good public transport connections at either end, the Docklands Light Railway is generally not too far away in the section between St Katharine Docks and</span> <span style="font-family:Arial;">Lime</span> <span style="font-family:Arial;">House</span> <span style="font-family:Arial;">Basin</span><span style="font-family:Arial;">.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">No need to go into any private areas or onto flowerbeds etc for any of these. Generally flat and well paved throughout.</span></p>
<h1><span style="font-family:Arial;">The cache: Prospect</span></h1>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Adjacent to the Prospect of Whitby Pub, on a short section of the Thames Path – entry possible by the Red lift bridge, great views from here.  There is even a small ‘sandy’ beach here at low tide.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">A nano. Bring a pencil / pen.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Once you’ve found it: <span style="color:red;">*** <b>make sure you put it back properly so it will be there for those who follow you, and not found by those who shouldn’t! ***</b></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;color:#3366FF;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;color:#3366FF;">*** Keep an eye on any young child that you may have with you ***</span></p>

LongDescription:
The difficulty rating has been upped because you may have problem solve at times!<br />
<br />
A memorial to the victims of the 2004 tsunami has been officially opened in the grounds of London’s <a href="http://www.nhm.ac.uk/" target="_new" title="opens in a new window">Natural History Museum</a>. This new memorial is intended to be a focal point to remember the thousands of people who died on Boxing Day.<br />
<br />

<br />
The 120-tonne block is estimated to be between 3.7m<sup>3</sup> and 4.1 m<sup>3</sup>, with a corner removed. According to <a href="http://www.handyshippingguide.com/shipping-news/portrait-Tof-a-project-freight-forwarding-movement_3575" target="_blank">Handy Shipping Guide</a> was the "biggest transportation of a single piece of stone in the UK or France since the building of Stonehenge.<br />
<br />
The rock chosen was a light-colored igneous rock. The memorial is composed mainly of quartz and feldspar with minor amounts of micas.<br />
<br />
Crystals will form while the material is molten, insulated deep inside the Earth's crust, cooling relatively slowly, in huge intrusions between other rocks.<br />
<br />
Molten rock or magma that would have formed a granite had it stayed deep in the Earth's crust, but instead managed to erupt onto the surface of the Earth, forms a rock called rhyolite.<br />
<br />
The two rock types have the same chemistry. Rhyolite however does not generally have the same texture and crystals are generally too small to see.<br />
<br />
Granite and rhyolite always consist of the minerals quartz and feldspar, with or without a wide variety of other minerals (accessory minerals). The quartz and feldspar generally give granite a light colour, ranging from pinkish to white. But that light background colour is punctuated by the darker accessory minerals.<br />
<br />
A classic granite has a "salt-and-pepper" look. The most common accessory minerals are the black mica biotite and the black amphibole hornblende.<br />
<br />
Almost all granite is igneous (it solidified from a fluid state) and plutonic (it cools very slowly in a large, deeply buried mass or pluton). It is molten longer and larger crystal can grow. This also allows a random arrangement of grains in granite—its lack of fabric, layering or cracks—is evidence of its plutonic origin. ( HINT Q.4 why is this a good characteristic if you are about to carve something out of the rock? )<br />
<br />
Rhylolite cools relatively quickly, close to the the surface. The rock is cold and solid before larger crystals can grow.<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color:pink;">EARTHCACHES ARE DESIGNED AS AN OUTSIDE ACTIVITY, YOU DO NOT HAVE GO INSIDE OF THE MUSEUM BUT YOU DO HAVE TO GET OUT OF AN ARMCHAIR TO COMPLETE IT!</span><br />
<br />
  <strong>Getting to the earthcache site</strong><br />
<br />
The grounds are open to the public. Entry is FREE. The museum is open from 10 o’clock everyday until almost 6pm? Please note you may have get to the cache through the museum if the exterior gates are locked.<br />

<br /></font><br />
<br />
1. Describe any grains in the rock in terms of colour and size.<br />
<br />
2. Look at an area of 25mm square and <u>estimate</u> the proportion, as a %, of each type of grain in the sample.<br />
<br />
3. From your observations is this a granite or a rhyolyte?<br />
<br />
4.Why was this type of rock chosen for this massive monument ? (Hint – brief answer in the text)<br />
<br />
5. What is the significance of the date of placement of the cache?<br />
<br />
6. JUST TO CHECK THAT YOU DID GET OUT OF YOUR ARMCHAIR! How many 'bore holes' (vertical channels) on the right hand side as you face the front of the stone?<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color:lime;">Do not include any answers in your log OR POST PHOTOS THAT WOULD GIVE OTHERS THE ANSWER.</span><br />
