<b><u>Location information</u></b><br />
<i>This cache is a direct replacement for the original cache by FantasticCat which fell into disrepair and was lost in an archive, attempts to resurrect the original listing failed, so please excuse if you think you are having a Déjà vu moment!</i><br />
<br />
Opened in 1854, the Necropolis Railway had a mortuary station in south London where grieving families brought their loved ones. Coffins and mourners were then loaded on to the Black Cat train and taken to Brookwood Cemetery, 25 miles away in the countryside. The coffins and mourning passengers travelled in first, second and third class coaches.<br />

The station was originally located between York Street (now Leake Street) and Westminster Bridge Road – directly to platforms within the cemetery. The station was rebuilt in this location at 121 Westminster Bridge Road in 1902 when the mainline station was reconstructed. Prior to 1900 funeral trains usually ran once each day but after this only operated "as required" until by the mid-1930s they only ran twice each week; much of their traffic having moved to the road network. There were two stations at the destination, Brookwood Cemetary, one for Anglicans and one for Non-Conformists.<br />
<br />
On the night of 16 April 1941 the station was hit by bombs and never rebuilt or re-opened.<br />

LongDescription:
Directly across the road is the house of Capt Bligh.The mutiny on the Bounty,28 April 1789,was led by Fletcher Christian against the commanding officer, William Bligh.  Bligh and 18 of the crew  were forcibly sent afloat in a small boat. Mutineers then settled on Pitcairn Island or in Tahiti. The Bounty was burned off Pitcairn Island to avoid detection. Descendants of the mutineers still live on Pitcairn island. The ship was on a single mission to travel to Tahiti, pick up breadfruit plants, and transport them to the West Indies in hopes that they would grow well there to feed the slaves. Though Bligh is portrayed as the epitome of cruel captains, this may not be true. Bligh was lenient compared with other British naval officers, he received the appointment because he was considered an exceptionally capable naval officer — an evaluation that would prove to be correct — and because of his experience and familiarity with navigation in the area and local customs. Bligh then navigated the 23-foot open boat on a 47-day, 3618 mile voyage to Timor in the Dutch East Indies. Equipped with only a quadrant and a pocket watch and with no charts or compass, landing in Kupang, Timor on 14 June. Christian, his men and some Tahitians settled in the Pitcairn islands, but eventually killed eachother.

LongDescription:
<p>The Cathedral is the Mother Church of the Roman Catholic Province of Southwark which covers the Archdiocese of Southwark (all of London south of the River Thames including Kent and north Surrey) and the Dioceses of Arundel and Brighton, Portsmouth, and Plymouth. It is the Metropolitan Cathedral of the Archbishop of Southwark.</p>
<p>The Cathedral was badly bombed during World War II and the rebuilt Cathedral was opened in 1958. Since then it has resumed its role as a focal point in the local community and has played host to many notable visitors, including the Dalai Lama</p>
<p>The cathedral is above all a working church for the community. The vibrant Latin American community is served with a Spanish Mass every Sunday celebrated entirely in the Spanish language.</p>
<p>And so to the cache...<br />
This is a short multi, and the final is just a few moments away, but is in an area that will need a little bit of stealth.</p>
<p>To find the cache you need some numbers<br />
There are two wooden doors with <strong>ABC</strong> rivets in each door.<br />
Just to the right of the church is a church hall. The name of the building is <strong>Archbishop... D E F</strong> (number of letters in the words)<br /></p>
<p>So the coords for the final are<br />
<strong>N51 (A+A) (D+F) . (A+C) (D) (D-F)<br />
W000 (B) (E-A) . (F) (C-F-A) (B)</strong></p>

LongDescription:
The London and South Western Railway (L&SWR) opened the station on 11 July 1848 when its mainline was extended from Nine Elms. The unfulfilled intention was for a through station with services to the City.

The name on opening was 'Waterloo Bridge Station', from the nearby Waterloo Bridge across the Thames. In 1886 it officially became 'Waterloo Station' reflecting the long-standing common usage, even of some L&SWR timetables.
As the station grew it became increasingly ramshackle, a little-used railway line even crossed the main concourse on the level and passed through an archway in the station building to connect to the South Eastern Railway's smaller station, now Waterloo East, whose tracks lie perpendicular to those of Waterloo. Passengers were confused by the layout and by the two very close stations called 'Waterloo'. This complexity and confusion became the butt of jokes by writers and music hall comics. In Jerome K. Jerome's book Three Men in a Boat no one at Waterloo knows the wanted train's platform, departure time or destination.

Extensive reconstruction between 1900 and 1922 gave 21 platforms and a concourse nearly 800 feet (244 m) long. The main pedestrian entrance, the Victory Arch, serves as a memorial to company staff who were killed during the two world wars. Damage in World War II required considerable repair but entailed no great changes of layout.

On privatisation of British Rail in the 1990s, ownership and management of Waterloo passed to Railtrack, and subsequently to Network Rail.
Platforms 20 and 21 were lost as part of the site of Waterloo International railway station which from 1994 to 13 November 2007 was the London terminus of the Eurostar international services. Construction necessitated the removal of decorative masonry forming two arches from that side of the station, bearing the legend "Southern Railway". This was subsequently re-erected at the private Fawley Hill Museum of Sir William McAlpine, whose company built Waterloo International. Waterloo International closed when all Eurostar services transferred to St Pancras railway station with the opening of the second phase of "HS1", High Speed route 1, formerly known as the Channel Tunnel Rail Link or CTRL. The international platforms may be reinstated for some use by domestic services but substantial track-work would be needed to obtain any great advantage.

You are looking for a nano sized container, slightly out of view of the busiest parts of the station.

LongDescription:
I Spy (A 3rd London Landmark) is an easy cache not far from Waterloo Station and not far from another well known I Spy London Landmark that is close by.
<p>From the cache location you can spy the famous Landmark.</p>
<p>Officially, the Elizabeth Tower's bell is called the Great Bell though it is better known by the name 'Big Ben'.</p>
<p>There are two theories for this name's origin. These are that the Great Bell was:</p>
<p>• named after Sir Benjamin Hall, First Commissioner for Works 1855-1858</p>
<p>• named after Ben Caunt, a champion heavyweight boxer of the 1850s</p>
<br />
<p>The name 'Big Ben' is often associated with the Elizabeth Tower and the Great Clock as well as the Great Bell. It was to the Great Bell that the name originally was given.</p>
<p>The Elizabeth Tower, which stands at the north end of the Houses of Parliament, was completed in 1859 and the Great Clock started on 31 May, with the Great Bell's strikes heard for the first time on 11 July and the quarter bells first chimed on 7 September.</p>
<p>More information can be found at http://www.parliament.uk/about/living-heritage/building/palace/big-ben/</p>
<p>Cache is suitable for wheelchair cachers and children but please be careful along the path. It is quite possible that wheelchair cachers will be able to retrieve this cache unaided.</p>
<p>This is quite a busy area so you may need quite a bit of patience while you wait for ‘the right moment’ and of course, as always with a busy London area, <b><u>EXTREME STEALTH IS REQUIRED!!</u></b></p>

The South Bank Lion was originally red in colour, due to it being located outside the Red Lion Brewery, which was demolished to make way for the Royal Festival Hall. Thanks to George VI the Lion was saved, and was moved outside Waterloo Station. When the station was made bigger in 1966 the Lion was moved to its current home. The lion was then renamed the ‘South Bank Lion’. The Coade Stone statue was designed by W.F. Woodington, and is 13 feet long and 12 feet high, and weighs over 13 tons.<br />

Hints: Pot? - replace out of view.
LongDescription:
<p>The church is the oldest structure in the Borough of Lambeth, except for the crypt of Lambeth Palace<br />
The burials and monuments are 950 years worth of history.</p>
<p>In 1062 a wooden church was built on the site, later in the century it was rebuilt as a stone church.</p>
<p>The church was a place of burial until the churchyard was closed in 1854. It is estimated that there were over 26,000 burials here.</p>
<p>In 1972 the church was made redundant in consequence of its dilapidation and gloom, and also because of changes in the population settlement of the parish.</p>
<p>And so to the cache...<br />
This is a short multi, and the final is just a few moments away, but is in an area that will need a little bit of stealth.</p>
<p><strong>The final cache is not available at all times, please see the attributes.</strong></p>
<p>To find the cache you need some numbers<br />
There are two signs, one in the church yard, and one a few metres away in the garden, giving information about the church and the gardens<br />
On the sign titled "Welcome to St Mary's Gardens"...<br />
The year in which the Garden Museum saved the church from demolition <strong>ABCD</strong><br />
The year St Mary's Gardens were improved <strong>EFGH</strong><br />
And, from the sign titled "The City - A Wild Place to Live"<br />
The % of stag beetles in London Boroughs... <strong>JK%</strong></p>
<p>So the coords for the final are<br />
<strong>N51 (J-A) (D+E) . (D) (A+F+G) (E-G)<br />

LongDescription:
<p>This earth cache will require you to visit at both low tide and high tide.  Bring a tape measure with you or some other measuring device.</p>
<p>You'll be surprised at the volume of water that enters and leaves The Thames with each change of the tides creating a current known as a tidal stream. It is difficult to measure how much water is in this study area, as water levels are influenced by natural forces. Spring Tides occur 2-3 days after a full moon. Neap tides occur every two weeks, 2-3 days after the moon is in it's first and last quarter. The charted depth of The Thames at Westminster Bridge is 1.9 meters. However, at Spring Tide, it is 6.8 meters deeper and at mean tide, it is 5.6 meters deeper. The tidal range (difference between water levels at low tide and high tide) varies during the month as well. For your purposes, you will be measuring the tidal range on any one day of the month, once at high tide and once at low tide, just to get an appreciation for the vast volume of water that enters our study area due to the tides. You will then consider what detrimental affects these tides can have on the environment.</p>
<p>From the sidewalk measure the distance from the top of the wall to the surface of the river at low tide.  Return at high tide and measure it again to determine the tidal effect on water levels.  Use the following link to find low/high tide times.  <a href="http://www.pla.co.uk/Safety/Tide-Tables">http://www.pla.co.uk/Safety/Tide-Tables</a></p>
<p>Using your GPS, determine how wide The Thames is at this spot.  Also determine an approximate length between The Hungerford Bridge and The Westminster Bridge.  These are the two bridges on either side of The London eye.</p>
<p>Multiply The Thames width  X  The Thames Length between the bridges  X  the change in tide level.   This will  determine the volume of water that enters/leaves  this section of The Thames as a result of each tide change on the particular day that you visited.</p>
<p>Research the weight of water and calculate how much that total volume of water entering/leaving The Thames in this study section on each tide change weighs.</p>
<p>Feel free to use the imperial or metric measurements. It's your choice.</p>
<p>Email me the following answers to log your find:</p>
<p>1. The volume and the weight of the water that flowed into the area today as a result of the changing tide.</p>
<p>2. What problem would this much water movement have on a natural shoreline and what measures have been taken to combat it?</p>
<p>3. What are the oscillating currents called that are created by the tidal change?</p>
<p>4. Other than the shoreline, what else could be affected by them?</p>
<p>5. This section of the river appears to be very straight. However, The Thames meanders throughout the city. If the measures from question #2, were not taken, how would the meandering be affected?</p>
<p> </p>

This small park on the edge of Surrey Row is a prime spot for office workers taking lunch breaks, quiet and tranquil and slightly tucked away back from the hustle and bustle of Blackfriars Road. Entrance is via a gate in Surrey Row. This park is not wheelchair accessible to get to the cache location.<br />
<br />
Currently there is a lot of demolition and redevelopment taking place on the opposite corner to this park, the corner use to have 'Imbibe' (<b>A picture has now been uploaded to the gallery, along with a proposed photo of the new building when completed</b>), alas the council have approved the complete demolition of the entire block to make way for a new 10 storey block with shops and residential housing. The 'Imbibe' restaurant is one of only two buildings that was around in Charles Dickens time.<br />
Quote from Imbibe when it was trading:<br />
The Bar is a unique venue with a beautiful, covered, secret garden, perfect for sipping mailbu hot chocolate, next to our roaring fire pit with roasting chestnuts. Our roof terrace has amazing views over the city and inside the bar we have a cosy fireplace and sumptuous sofas.<br />
<br />
<i><b>Alas this fantastic restaurant closed down in November 2013, see also the 'Related Web Page' news story.</b></i><br />
<br />
The cache is a small micro, with just room for the log book, so make sure you bring your own pen.<br />
<br />
<strong>Please take care when removing and replacing the cache, as this can be a high muggle traffic area, additionally the cache is located in a place where it can be replaced awkwardly and take a little bit of effort again to remove, so please take care when replacing<br />
I have recently modified the container slightly to assist in removal from its hide. (However the cryptic tip will become clear when you find it!)<br />
Let me know if it needs a maintenance check.</strong><br />

Enjoy the garden and relax in its surroundings.<br />

"Come On Eileen" was a single released by Dexys Midnight Runners in 1982. The song was written by Kevin Rowland. The video features members of the band wearing sleeveless shirts and dungarees. The "Eileen" as featured in the video (and on the record sleeve) is Máire Fahey, sister of Siobhan Fahey, singer of Bananarama, although Rowland says that there was no”Eileen” to inspire the song, he just liked the name. Filming took place on Brook Drive, Kennington, London. The corner store which was called "Vi's Stores" in the video is at the corner of Brook Drive and Hayles Street, where this cache is.  Kennington, in South London, contains attractive 19th century terraces, social housing and 21st century state of the art buildings. See attached photo of “changing Kennington”.

The Norman Shaw Buildings  on the Victoria Embankment,  designed by architect Richard Norman Shaw between 1887–1906,  were originally the location of Scotland Yard , headquarters of the Metropolitan Police. Stables for  Police Mounted Branch  are still located at 7 Great Scotland Yard, nearby. The famous phone number was Whitehall 1212.
The red telephone box, was designed in 1935  by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, (Liverpool cathedral and Battersee power station) to commemorate the silver jubilee of George V and  was the first red  kiosk to be used extensively outside London.  The red colour was not initially liked  and the Post Office was forced into allowing a less strident ‘grey with red glazing bars’ scheme for areas of natural and architectural beauty. Ironically, some of these areas that have preserved their telephone boxes have now painted them red. In 1952  Elizabeth II  changed the 'Tudor Crown' as  symbol of her government, to a representation of her actual coronation crown,  the ‘St Edward's Crown’ and thus  the kiosk’s crown was changed. 
Big Ben is the nickname for the great bell of the clock at the Palace of Westminster  and generally refers to the clock tower as well, although this is really St. Stephen’s tower. The origin of  Big Ben  may have been  Sir Benjamin Hall, who oversaw the installation of the Great Bell, or the  English boxing champion Benjamin Caunt.The tower holds the largest four-faced chiming clock in the world and was completed on 10 April 1858, to become one of the most prominent symbols of both London and England. At the base of each clock dial  is the  inscription: DOMINE SALVAM FAC REGINAM NOSTRAM VICTORIAM PRIMAM (O Lord, keep safe our Queen Victoria the First.)

The original cache went missing and attempts to contact the original cache owner have failed,  since I work in the area, I felt it would be a shame to let this one be lost.  The above description has been copied from the original posting.  <br />
<br />
With London being a major metropolis, it is not always possible to include a pencil or pen on caches since they are just simple film pots, nanos or micros so there is no space, so please remember your pen as it is a vital piece of the cachers kit:<br />
<b>Remember: If you DO NOT sign the paper log book, DO NOT log it on line</b><br />
<br />
Cache should be a simple find, watch out for many many muggles at all times, there is usually a lot of performers and other activities occuring around here, so you <strong>need to be careful</strong> when retrieving and returning the cache. I have tried to make this one blend in, so please ensure you make sure its just as well 'disguised' when returned after signing and ensure its back in the same place and hidden from prying eyes</span></div>

LongDescription:
<b><u>Location Information</u></b><br />
Doon Street was heavily bombed in the war and ended up being an ugly bomb site which has long since suffered development problems.<br />
Situated near the Royal Festival Hall, the land nearby has been desolate for over half a century and been used as a car park.<br />
<br />
In 1974 a 111m tall hotel was proposed here, but the building slump killed the development, more recently plans from 2007/2008 were put in place to develop the site to host a 144 metre high tower.<br />
<br />
However this proposed new tower block has also been plagued with legal and court issues right from the start, the Lifschutz Davidson Sandilands 43 storey 'Doon Street Tower' was originally approved by former communities secretary Hazel Blears in 2008.<br />
Concerned bodies over its build have included English Heritage, Westminster City Council and the Royal Parks who have key issues on how this will affect views from Somerset House on the north bank of the River Thames, the omission of affordable housing, not to mention the height when the tower is finally complete.<br />
<br />
In September 2007 Hazel Blears had arranged for the application to be referred to her instead of being dealt with by the London Borough of Lambeth because she considered that the proposal may conflict with national and regional policies, The planning inspector who examined the case supported the heritage experts that the scheme would cause "serious damage" to the view of Somerset House and would " overwhelm" the Grade II* listed National Theatre and the setting of the Grade I listed Royal Festival Hall.<br />
An English Heritage spokesman said: "We are therefore appalled to learn that the then Secretary of State has not only overturned the advice of English Heritage as her expert advisers, but she has also chosen to ignore the opinion of an independent inspector." it will when (and if) finally completed meant to have 355 new homes, a community sports centre, swimming pool and commercial premises - In the meantime all we can do is watch to see what happens.<br />
<br />
To the rear of Doon Street is home to the massive 'Kings College London'. King's College London was founded by King George IV and the Duke of Wellington (then the Prime Minister) in 1829 as a university college following the tradition of the Church of England. Since then it now welcomes staff and students of all faiths and beliefs.<br />
King's professors played a major part in nineteenth-century science and in extending higher education to women and working men through evening classes. Mergers with other institutions which include, the United Medical and Dental Schools of Guy's and St Thomas' Hospitals, Chelsea College, Queen Elizabeth College and the Institute of Psychiatry.<br />

<p>White Hart Dock is situated along the Albert Embankment in London near Lambeth Bridge.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><img alt src="http://assets.londonremembers.com/images/big/46060.jpg?1319382233" style="height:660px;width:660px;" /></p>
<p>The origins of a dock and slipway at this site can be traced back to the 14th century. The present retaining structure was built c.1868 as a parish dock when the Albert Embankment was constructed by the Metropolitan Board of Works to improve flood defences. Several other inland docks were built to enable continued access to the river for firms.</p>
<p>Now only White Hart Dock remains, although a few tunnels under the Embankment to the other docks are visible at low tide from Lambeth Bridge. This Dock was used to hold an Emergency Water Supply during the Second World War and the faded EWS logo can still be seen on the brickwork of the western wall.</p>
<p>For over a century the buildings of the Royal Doulton Pottery complex dominated the area. The Lambeth factory finally closed in 1956 due to new clean air regulations and all work transferred to Staffordshire. Look down Black Prince Road to see the former Doulton offices. This Listed Building retains many original features including ornate finishes and decorative tiles and it is said that Sir Henry Doulton watched his barges travel to and from the Port of London from the tower.</p>
<p>In 1960 the Metropolitan Borough of Lambeth sought parliamentary powers to close White Hart Dock as it had "not been used by commercial craft for very many years". For reasons unknown the closure was not implemented and the Dock lay dormant, unloved and largely unnoticed.</p>
<p>In 2009, the Dock was cleaned and refurbished and Handspring Design were commissioned by London Borough of Lambeth to create the timber sculpture now seen in and around it. Made in Sheffield from sustainably sourced English Oak, the arches and boats celebrate the meeting of land and river and remind us of the site's long history.</p>

<p>Wheelchair cachers may need some help to retrieve this cache. you are quite near to a busy road so please be careful with children.</p>

LongDescription:
<p>The <strong>Metropolitan Tabernacle</strong> is a large Reformed Baptist church in the Elephant and Castle in London. The first stone was laid by Sir Samuel Morton Peto in August, 1859. It was the largest church edifice of its day in 1861. The edifice, which is upwards of 140 feet long, 80 feet broad, and 60 feet high, is approached at the eastern end by a flight of steps which extend the whole width of the building. The Tabernacle Fellowship have been worshipping together since 1650, soon after the sailing of the Pilgrim Fathers. Its first pastor was William Rider.</p>
<p><b><img src="http://img.geocaching.com/cache/large/large/large//e55942f1-0d06-44ff-a385-896396138a0c.jpg" alt width="600" /></b></p>
<p> </p>
<p style="margin-left:0cm;margin-right:0cm;">The original building was burned down in 1898, leaving just the front portico and basement intact, before the rebuilt church was destroyed again in 1941 during the German bombing of London in World War II. Once again, the portico and basement survived and in 1957, the Tabernacle was rebuilt to a new but much smaller design accommodating surviving original features. Th original building could house 5000 people seated with 1000 standing.</p>

<h1>Kentish Ragstone</h1>
<p><strong>Kentish ragstone</strong> is a hard grey limestone in Kent, England, drawn from the geological formation known as the Hythe Beds of the Lower Greensand. For centuries it has been quarried for use both locally and farther afield.</p>

<p>Ragstone occurs in a geological formation known in the Hythe Beds of the Lower Greensand, a layer of limestones running from Kent into Surrey which was laid down in the <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cretaceous_period" title="Cretaceous period" style="text-decoration:none;color:rgb(11, 0, 128);background:none;">Cretaceous period</a>. It outcrops in various places, notably at the cliffs of Hythe<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hythe,_Kent" title="Hythe, Kent" style="text-decoration:none;color:rgb(11, 0, 128);background:none;">,</a> Kent (whence it gets its name) and along the Greensand Ridge above the Weald of Kent. Ragstone occurs in bands between 15 cm and 60 cm thick, alternating with bands of a loose material called Hassock. These bands are of similar thickness and the difference in colour between them gives quarry faces a striped appearance. When the stone is extracted from the quarry, it appears to be of a grey green or blue grey colour but later weathers to an autumnal hue which, together with its hard-wearing properties, traditionally made it an attractive material for public building works.</p>
<p>From 1066, the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normans" title="Normans" style="text-decoration:none;color:rgb(11, 0, 128);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:22.3999996185303px;background:none rgb(255, 255, 255);">Normans</a> constructed a large number of public buildings using ragstone, such as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westminster_Abbey" title="Westminster Abbey" style="text-decoration:none;color:rgb(11, 0, 128);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:22.3999996185303px;background:none rgb(255, 255, 255);">Westminster Abbey</a> and the<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tower_of_London" title="Tower of London" style="text-decoration:none;color:rgb(11, 0, 128);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:22.3999996185303px;background:none rgb(255, 255, 255);">Tower of London</a>, castles such as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rochester_Castle" title="Rochester Castle" style="text-decoration:none;color:rgb(11, 0, 128);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:22.3999996185303px;background:none rgb(255, 255, 255);">Rochester</a> and Leeds, and churches such as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Saints_Church,_Maidstone" title="All Saints Church, Maidstone" style="text-decoration:none;color:rgb(11, 0, 128);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:22.3999996185303px;background:none rgb(255, 255, 255);">All Saints</a> and the Holy Cross churches in Maidstone.

<p><span style="line-height:1.6;">Only two ragstone quarries are operational in Kent, the Hermitage Quarry in Barming and Blaise Farm near King's Hill, but there are plans to extend the former quarry into Oaken Wood, Ditton. Although the Hermitage Quarry continues to meet the traditional demand for building stone for use in modern buildings, this is on a reduced scale from the past. Modern demand is busy and diverse, however, with about 60 different products being required for use in the ready mix concrete, road building and engineering industries. Larger blocks of ragstone are also used in the construction of sea barriers against coastal erosion.</span></p>

LongDescription:
This riverside park was named Bernie Spain Gardens after Bernadette Spain, one of the original Coin Street Action Group campaigners. Between 1984 and 1988 Coin Street Community Builders organised the demolition of derelict buildings, the completion of the South Bank riverside walkway and the laying out of a new riverside park. This opened up spectacular views of the Thames, St. Paul's Cathedral and the City.<br />
<img src="http://img.geocaching.com/cache/large/b60dac0b-c78a-4496-a291-ac05634f9d3c.jpg" width="300" /><br />
The park stretches between the riverside and Stamford Street bordered by Oxo Tower Wharf and Gabriel's Wharf and straddles Upper Ground.<br />

LongDescription:
JFH stands for James Forbes House which is a building that cannot be seen from the road – just its entrance hall off Great Suffolk St. through an old railway viaduct arch. This part of Southwark has the Charing Cross to London Bridge Lines being crossed by the Elephant & Castle to Blackfriars Lines, with a connecting line also at the coordinates – a lot of rail traffic passes this location. 

The building name originates from a Victorian Railway Pioneer - James Forbes, who was the General Manager of the then London Chatham and Dover Railway Company who instigated the building of Snow Hill Tunnel which now houses City Thameslink Station, and connected the route through to Farringdon and the then Great Northern Railway.  The route now is used by the Thameslink service between Bedford and Brighton.

The site of JFH is on the former Railway Depot called Ewer St. and the building does still have access onto the railway at the rear. The former depot buildings have since made way for a new student accommodation building recently built next door.

The building can just be seen if you stand in Dolben St. opposite the coordinates / by the pub!!  It was classed as a temporary building, built in the year 2000 for additional office space and it is still home to some 400 people.  Likened to being a port-a-cabin city it has 4 levels split into 3 x open plan blocks, its own delicatessen and is fully air conditioned.

GPS signal does go a little stray in this area, but hopefully GZ should be obvious.

Well Done to Lodgebarn for the fastest FTF I have ever seen.

<br />
This Anglican Parish church is situated in Blackfriars Road. The parish of Christ Church Southwark was formed in 1670, the boundary of which is the same as the riverside Paris Garden which was mentioned by Shakespeare in his play Henry VIII as being of a disreputable place. The original church which was here sank into the marshy boggy ground and eventually had to be rebuilt. This post-war (1959) build is actually much lovelier inside than out. It is the only church which has a stained glass window which features a Sainsbury's shopping trolley plus one for Lloyds Bank, it also has many other unusual stained glass windows.<br />
The present building replaces the second church which was severely damaged by enemy action on 17 April 1941. The stone cross in the grass behind the church marks where the tower's cross fell and was listed in the National Register of War Memorials in 2003.<br />
<br />
If you get time do try and visit the church, it is a lovely church inside!<br />

<p><img src="http://www.jtcroofing.co.uk/news/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Westminster-Abbey.jpg" /></p>
Westminster Abbey is steeped in more than a thousand years of history. Benedictine monks first came to this site in the middle of the tenth century, establishing a tradition of daily worship which continues to this day. The Abbey has been the coronation church since 1066 and is the final resting place of seventeen monarchs. The present church, begun by Henry III in 1245, is one of the most important Gothic buildings in the country, with the medieval shrine of an Anglo-Saxon saint still at its heart. A treasure house of paintings, stained glass, pavements, textiles and other artefacts, Westminster Abbey is also the place where some of the most significant people in the nation's history are buried or commemorated. Taken as a whole the tombs and memorials comprise the most significant single collection of monumental sculpture anywhere in the United Kingdom
<p>More info on the Abbey can be found <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westminster_Abbey">here</a></p>
<p>Now for the cache - the above coordinates should take you to the front of the Abbey where you need to collect he following clues</p>
<p>The number of Dietrich Bonhoeffer = A</p>
<p>The date on the drainpipe = BCDE - take care here it's a Georgian one!</p>
<p>The number on Blakeborough &amp; Sons Fire Hydrant = FGHJ - the one closest to the Abbey</p>
<p>The number of lions on the war memorial = K</p>
<p>The number of shields on the war memorial = L - only the ones above 10 feet</p>
<p>The cache can be found at</p>

<h2 align="center"><font color="#330099" face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">THE RIVER THAMES - Rocks on the River Bed</font></h2>
<br />
<p><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">First some general and geological information about the river:<br />
<br />
The River Thames is the second longest river in the United Kingdom and the longest river entirely in England, rising at Thames Head in Gloucestershire, and flowing into the North Sea at the Thames Estuary. It has a special significance in flowing through London, although London only includes a short part of its course. The river is tidal in London with a rise and fall of 7 metres (23 ft) and becomes non-tidal at Teddington Lock.<br />
<br />
The River Thames can first be identified as a discrete drainage line as early as 58 million years ago, in the late Palaeocene Period Thanetian Stage. Until around half a million years ago, the Thames flowed on its existing course through what is now Oxfordshire, before turning to the north east through Hertfordshire and East Anglia and reaching the North Sea near Ipswich. At this time the river system headwaters lay in the English West Midlands and may, at times, have received drainage from the North Wales Berwyn Mountains. Arrival of an ice sheet in the Quaternary Ice Age, about 450,000 years ago, dammed the river in Hertfordshire and caused it to be diverted onto its present course through London. This created a new river route aligned through Berkshire and on into London after which the river rejoined its original course in southern Essex, near the present River Blackwater estuary. Here it entered a substantial freshwater lake in the southern North Sea basin. The overspill of this lake caused the formation of the Dover Straits or Pas-de-Calais gap between Britain and France. Subsequent development led to the continuation of the course which the river follows at the present day.<br />

<i>The River Thames and the river bed at low tide</i><br />
<br />
<b>Now to this earthcache:</b><br />
<br />
Visit the river bed during low tide to find some very interesting rocks on the river bed. You can find public access to the river bed at the stairs at N 51° 30.505 W 000° 06.522. Prior to your visit you may want to check the tide times here…(<a href="http://www.pla.co.uk/display_fixedpage.cfm/id/11/site/maritime" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">visit link</a>) (How it works: Look for Tower Pier and your date of visit. Then find the time of the lowest number.)<br />
<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif"><br />
The rocks you are looking for (also referred to as "nodules") are everywhere!<br />
<br />
These rocks were formed in the Jurassic period (about 199,6 to about 145,5 million years ago) and in the Cretaceous period of geology (about 145,5 to about 65,5 million years ago). During these periods most parts of the United Kingdom was lying beneath sea level.<br />
<br />
From a petrological point of view, the name of the rock refers specifically to the form of chert which occurs in chalk or marly limestone. The exact mode of formation of this rock is not yet clear but it is thought that it occurs as a result of chemical changes in compressed sedimentary rock formations, during the process of diagenesis. One hypothesis is that a gelatinous material fills cavities in the sediment, such as holes bored by crustaceans or molluscs and that this becomes silicified. This theory certainly explains the complex shapes of the nodules that are found.<br />
<br />
Millions of years later the rocks were part of the bed load of the River Thames and still are until today. The River Thames transports the rocks from upstream, especially from Oxfordshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Gloucestershire, and deposits them here on the river bed.<br />
<br />
The rock is a hard, sedimentary cryptocrystalline form of the mineral quartz, categorized as a variety of chert. It occurs chiefly as nodules and masses in sedimentary rocks, such as chalks and limestones.<br />
<br />
In the Stone Age these rocks were used to make tools or cutting edges. Examples of other uses are: to ignite fire or gunpowder; as building material; raw material for the ceramics industry.<br />
<br />
<b>To log this earthcache, you need to find one of the described rocks, examin it and answer the following question:</b></font><br />
<br />
<i>1. What is the name of the described rock that you can find here?<br />
<br />
2. Describe color and appearance of the <u>inside</u> of the rock.<br />
<br />
3. Describe color and appearance of the <u>outside</u> of the rock.<br />
<br />
4. How do the rocks break, if you hit them against another rock?</i><br />
<br />
To claim this earthcache as a find please send me an E-Mail with your answers, your caching name (eg erdnus) and your email address through my profil <b>BEFORE YOU LOG</b>. Afterwards you can log the cache as a find and upload your picture (preferably you with your GPS - with one of those rocks in your hand, if you like - or just your GPS at the location). Please do not reveal the answers in your log! <b>You don't have to wait for my confirmation. I'll contact you if there is anything wrong with your answers.</b><br />

LOCATION: This cache can be found on the Silver Jubilee Walk and is close to the OXO building. The Tate Modern is to the East and the South Bank Centre to the West. North is St. Paul's Cathedral.

DETAILS:
Time and Tide wait for no man – but YOU will have to wait for Father Thames.
Difficulty rating is high because this Mermaid Cache appears from the watery depths for only a few hours each day. You will need to be quick as she is a bit shy and remains out of sight from most. However, stealth is still required because reveling muggles will appear from left, right and ABOVE!

WARNING – This little Mermaid siren (visit link)

You may want to consult what the Moon has to say here… (visit link)
(How to use: Look for Tower Pier and your date of visit. Then find the time of the lowest number. Eg for 23rd May 09, low tide is 06:53 and 19:22 .

If you want to take your chances, racing the tide, you can also walk to the West, where there is a small beach-like area. You can often see sand-sculpting here.

What else can I say – except always take care near water. Also, the Thames washes up all sorts of flotsam and jetsum - so careful what you pick up or tread on!

THE CACHE:
There is room now for Tbs, coins and swaps,

                                                                (VERY INPORTANT) 

PLEASE SECURE LIDS VERY TIGHTLY AS THIS CACHE IS UNDER WATER HALF OF IT’S LIFE, IT IS SO INPORTENT THAT THE CACHERS WHO OPENES THIS CACHE PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT THE LID IS SCREWED BACK ON TIGHT, SO TO MAKE THIS   CACHE   WATER TIGHT OR IT WILL LEAKE ALSO PLEASE DO NOT DETACH THIS CACHE FROM THE RINGS, AS THESE RINGS ENABLE THE CACHE TO BE TURNDED UPSIDE DOWN. SO TO GET OUT ITS CONSTANCE,   THANK YOU FOR YOUR CORPORATION. CO 83cad- Thanks. ;-)
Note. It is possible that water will enter the container. Please try to only swap plastic items so that this is not a problem.
Many thanks.

<p>Carry On Cleo is the tenth film in the Carry On film series and
was released in 1964. It is considered by some to be the best in
the series.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2F1r4Jh7CA&amp;feature=channel_page">
Carry on Cleo Clip</a></p>
<p>Plot:The Romans invade the wet and miserable Britain, and, among
others, enslave the cowardly inventor Hengist Pod (Kenneth Connor),
and the fearless warrior Horsa (Jim Dale). When an attempt is made
to kill the Roman Emperor Julius Caesar (Kenneth Williams) at a
Roman temple, Horsa kills Caesar's enemies, but Hengist gets all
the credit, and is made Caesar's bodyguard. Meanwhile, Mark Antony
(Sid James), Caesar's best friend, becomes besotted with the
Egyptian Queen Cleopatra (Amanda Barrie), but the only way to
achieve his heart's desire is to kill Caesar and Hengist.</p>
Background Notes
<p>Kenneth Williams' line as Caesar, in fear of his life before the
conspirators and their drawn swords, is frequently voted among the
funniest lines in British comedy. It has also been voted the
all-time funniest one-liner in a film.</p>
<p>In one scene at Caesar's palace, when Mark Antony demands
Hengist to describe his 'fight' with the conspirators, he
accidentally chops the arms off a statue of the goddess, Venus,
apparently creating the Venus de Milo in doing so.</p>
<p>At one point, in a vision of the future, we see Caesar stabbed
with a dagger, and he says "Is this a dagger I see before me?" This
is a quote from Shakespeare, but is actually spoken by Macbeth.</p>
<p>The costumes and sets used in the film were actually taken from
Cleopatra starring Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor.</p>
<p>The film's credits make ironic reference to the scant regard
paid to historical accuracy. The titles advise that the story is
"from an original idea by William Shakespeare", and that "Whilst
the characters and events in this story are based on actual
characters and events, certain liberties have been taken with
Cleopatra".</p>
Carry on Cleo was filmed between 13 and 28 July 1964.<br />

LongDescription:
<p><span style="font-size:medium;">The obelisk, named Cleopatra's Needle has a <a href="http://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC59BR5_cleopatras-needle-new-york" target="_blank">twin in New York</a>, both examples are made of red granite, stand about 21 metres (69 ft) high, weigh about 224 tons and are inscribed with Egyptian hieroglyphs. They were originally erected in the Egyptian city of Heliopolis on the orders of Thutmose III, around 1450 BC. The granite was cut from the quarries of Aswan, near the first cataract of the Nile.<br />
<br />
Granite is an igneous rock, i<span>gneous rocks form through the crystallisation of magma (molten rock). They are referred to as ‘plutonic intrusives’ when they form deep below the Earth’s surface, ‘volcanic intrusives’ when emplaced in the shallow subsurface, and ‘volcanic extrusives’ when coming from a volcano and deposited on the surface.  The size of the crystals in the granite is related to the rate of cooling (larger crystals form when cooling is very slow).</span><br />
<br />
The inscriptions on the obelisks were added around 1250 BC by Ramesses II to commemorate his military victories.  The obelisks were moved to Alexandria and set up in the Caesareum – a temple built by Cleopatra in honour of Mark Antony or Julius Caesar – by the Romans in 12 BC, during the reign of Augustus, but were toppled some time later. This had the fortuitous effect of burying their faces and so preserving most of the hieroglyphs.<br /></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;">The London needle was presented to the United Kingdom in 1819 by the ruler of Egypt and Sudan Muhammad Ali, in commemoration of the victories of Lord Nelson at the Battle of the Nile and Sir Ralph Abercromby at the Battle of Alexandria in 1801. Although the British government welcomed the gesture, it declined to fund the expense of transporting it to London.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;">The obelisk remained in Alexandria until 1877 when Sir William James Erasmus Wilson, a distinguished anatomist and dermatologist, sponsored its transportation to London at a cost of some £10,000 (a very considerable sum in those days). It was dug out of the sand in which it had been buried for nearly 2,000 years and was encased in a great iron cylinder, 92 feet (28 m) long and 16 feet (4.9 m) in diameter, designed by the engineer John Dixon and dubbed <em>Cleopatra,</em> to be commanded by Captain Carter. It had a vertical stem and stern, a rudder, two bilge keels, a mast for balancing sails, and a deck house. This acted as a floating pontoon which was to be towed to London by the ship <em>Olga</em>, commanded by Captain Booth.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;"><br />
On erection of the obelisk in 1878 a <span>time capsule</span> was concealed in the front part of the pedestal, it contained : A set of 12 photographs of the best looking English women of the day, a box of hairpins, a box of cigars, several tobacco pipes, a set of imperial weights, a baby's bottle, some children's toys, a shilling razor, a hydraulic jack and some samples of the cable used in erection, a 3' bronze model of the monument, a complete set of British coins, a rupee, a portrait of Queen Victoria, a written history of the strange tale of the transport of the monument, plans on <span>vellum</span>, a translation of the inscriptions, copies of the bible in several languages, a copy of <span>John 3:16 in 215 languages,</span> a copy of <span>Whitaker's Almanack</span>, a Bradshaw Railway Guide, a map of London and copies of 10 daily newspaper<span>s.<br />
<br />
<span>On 4 September 1917, during </span>World War I<span>, a bomb from a </span>German<span> air raid landed near the needle. In commemoration of this event, the damage remains unrepaired to this day and is clearly visible in the form of </span>shrapnel<span> holes and gouges on the right-hand sphinx granite plinth.<br /></span><br />

<center>Original 'Evelina Children Hospital' - <i>this photo taken 1969.</i></center>
<br />
Mint Street Park is situated on the space that was once occupied previously by the Evelina Children's Hospital (1869 - 1976), when that closed down it then became a semi-derelict open space with a reputation for crime and anti-social behaviour, An area regeneration organisation brought together the local community, with support from Southwark Council and the then Office of the Deputy Prime Minister, to meet the needs of key user groups including homeless people and the local youth, both of whom were to play a role in improving the space, and eventually it was transformed into a pleasant green area which is now enjoyed by visitors and local residents, the gardens are maintained by volunteers and homeless people from St Mungo's Hostel situated nearby, additionally there is a local ball court that is used by people of all ages.<br />
Many people still living remember with affection the original Evelina Children's Hospital which stood here and which was important tackling the high rate of childhood diseases which were very common amongst the crowded Victorian streets of Bankside. - The full history of the original hospital is available for reference and can be found by researching online.<br />
The Evelina Children's Hospital still exists today, but it is now a modern purpose built hospital which was built alongside Guy's and St Thomas' hospital at London Bridge.<br />
The park was developed by the community to provide a local play space, an adventure play facility, plus a venue for community events.<br />

<u><b>Fire Brigade Museum</b></u><br />
Situated also nearby is the London Fire Brigade Museum, which was once part of the original Southwark fire station in the 1870s, it contains a unique collection of historical fire engines.<br />
The museum covers the history of firefighting since 1666 (the date of the Great Fire of London), it also houses old fire appliances and other equipment, there is also a chance to see fire brigade recruits training at the nearby training facility.<br />
The London Fire Brigade Museum is located in the former home of Captain Sir Eyre Massey Shaw, who was Superintendent of the Metropolitan Fire Brigade. The building was the London Fire Brigade headquarters until 1937 when King George V opened a new building on the Albert Embankment on the south bank of the River Thames.<br />

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 />

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:
The first location is in a very pretty garden (open from 07.30 to
dusk) you are looking for the Camel. <br />
What Hill is he standing on ABC? 
<p>(GZ is N51 30.ABC-28 W000 07.ABC+124)</p>
<p>Now Follow That Camel to an Eagle’s Eye view.</p>
<p>Stealth required at GZ a very busy area, you are looking for a
small grey magnetic nano at the final location.</p>
<p>Follow That Camel is the fourteenth Carry On film and was
released in 1967. it does not have the words "Carry On" in its
original title (although for screenings outside the United Kingdom
it was known as Carry On In The Legion, and is alternatively titled
Carry On ... Follow That Camel).</p>

This film was Producer Peter Rogers's attempt to break into the
American market; Phil Silvers is heavily featured in a Sergeant
Bilko type role. Silvers was paid a great deal more than any other
cast member provoking a great deal of animosity among the regulars
and hired after Carry-On stalwart, Sid James, had a heart attack
and was unable to work<br />
<br />
 
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cepVWUeedBA">Carry on
Follow That Camel Clip</a></p>
<p>Plot: His reputation brought into disrepute by Captain Bagshaw,
a competitor for the affections of Lady Jane Ponsonby, Bertram
Oliphant West a.k.a "Bo" decides to leave England and join the
French Foreign Legion, followed by his faithful manservant Simpson.
The pair eventually enlist and are helped in surviving Legion life
by Sergeant Nocker, although only after they discover that when he
is "on patrol" he is actually at the local cafe with the female
owner, ZigZig.<br />
Meanwhile Lady Ponsonby, having learnt that Bo was really innocent,
heads out to the Sahara to bring him back to England. Along the way
she meets Sheikh Abdul Abulbul and ends up becoming a part of his
harem and planned 13th wife.<br />
Nocker &amp; Bo are kidnapped by Abulbul after being lured to the
home of a belly dancer. Simpson follows them to the Oasis El Nooki
but is also captured. After entering Abulbul’s harem and
discovering Lady Ponsonby, Bo &amp; Simpson give themselves up
while Nocker escapes (or rather is allowed to by Abulbul) back to
Sidi Bel Abbes to warn Commandant Burger of Abulbul’s plans to
attack Fort Soixantneuf (Fort 69).<br />
However during this time ZigZig has told the Commandant about
Nocker's true destination when on patrol and therefore upon his
return his story is not believed. It is only when Knocker mentions
Lady Ponsonby that they realise he was telling the truth and the
Commandant organises a force to head to the fort.<br />
Along the way they discover Bo &amp; Simpson staked to the ground
at the now abandoned oasis. The force marches on towards the Fort
but heat, lack of water and a sand castle building competition gone
wrong decimates the force to a handful. The remaining members reach
the Fort to find that they are too late; the attack has already
occurred and the stationed garrison wiped out.<br />
After learning that Abulbul's celebration of the successful attack
includes marrying Lady Ponsonby, Bo, Burger, Nocker &amp; Simpson
rescue her from his tent, leaving Simpson behind dressed as a
decoy. When Abulbul discovers the deception he chases Simpson back
to the fort where, through the imaginative use of gum arabic,
coconuts, gunpower and a cricket bat, the group holds off Abulbul’s
army until a relief force arrives.</p>
<p>Filming Locations: Location work was shot during the early
months of 1967 when scenes set in the Saharan Desert were filmed at
Camber Sands in East Sussex, England. Shooting had to be halted
several times because there was snow on the sands.</p>

<h3>About SideTracked Caches</h3>
<br />
This cache belongs to the SideTracked series. It's a distraction for the weary traveller, but anyone else can go and find it too. More Information can be found at the <a href="http://www.sidetrackedseries.info">SideTracked Website</a>.<br />

<h3>About EarthCaches</h3>
<br />
An EarthCache is a special geological location people can visit to learn about a unique feature of the Earth. Visitors to EarthCaches can see how our planet has been shaped by geological processes, how we manage its resources and how scientists gather evidence. More Information can be found at the <a href="http://www.earthcache.org/">EarthCache Website</a>.<br />

<br />
<h3>About SideTracked - St James's Park</h3>
<br />
St James's Park Tube station was opened on 24 December 1868 by the District Railway (DR, now the District line) when the company opened the first section of its line between South Kensington and Westminster stations.<br />
<br />
<center><img src="http://d1u1p2xjjiahg3.cloudfront.net/971f76a5-0011-46b5-a6e9-4b34261543d1_l.jpg" width="200" /></center>
<br />
The station has been reconstructed twice. In the first decade of the 20th century the original DR station was reconstructed in conjunction with the building of Electric Railway House a headquarters building for the DR's owners the London Electric Railway. The station was then rebuilt again between 1927 and 1929 as part of the construction of 55 Broadway the company's new headquarters building designed by Charles Holden and featuring statues and carved stone panels including ones by Sir Jacob Epstein, Eric Gill, and Henry Moore.<br />
<br />
<center><img src="http://d1u1p2xjjiahg3.cloudfront.net/2e76e930-0708-429c-a8fe-3693d46970f9_l.jpg" width="500" /></center>
<br />
The platforms feature the green, blue, black and white tiling scheme first used for the reconstruction and extension to Morden of the City &amp; South London Railway (now the Northern line) also designed by Holden and opened between 1924 and 1926.<br />
<br />
In 1949, the Metropolitan line operated Inner Circle route was given its own identity on the tube map as the Circle line.<br />
<br />
<center><img src="http://d1u1p2xjjiahg3.cloudfront.net/8b0d146b-a43a-4d6c-ad52-f94da0533a2c_l.jpg" /></center>
<br />
The separate Palmer Street entrance and booking hall were rebuilt as part of a further redevelopment in the 1960s. Together with 55 Broadway, the station is a Grade I listed building. It is also the nearest Tube Station to Buckingham Palace and sees a great many tourists and visitors to London travelling through the station.<br />
<br />
<h3>A Traveler's Earthcache</h3>
<br />
Just across the road and down a little way from the main entrance to St James's Tube Station, you will see a large building with verticle strips of a grey stone. If you look at the stone, especially near the cache coordinates, you'll see it's covered in fossils. However, they are not the gastropods and shells that you normally see on this type of stone. They are pretty amazing, and of a sort I had not seen before.<br />
<br />
<b>Fossilized Red Algae</b><br />
<br />
Red Algae is the organism with the oldest fossil record that still exists as a living modern taxon. The oldest Red Algae fossil is <i>Bangiomorpha Pubescens</i>, a multicellular fossil from arctic Canada, that strongly resembles the modern Red Algae <i>Bangia</i> despite occurring in rocks dating to 1.2 billion years ago. Examples of Red Algae can be seen throughout the geological ages.<br />
<br />
Red Algae are important builders of reefs, and living examples can be seen on reefs around the world today.<br />
<br />
<center><img src="http://d1u1p2xjjiahg3.cloudfront.net/aa5c467a-0b96-4a9f-9a47-fc7380711a75_l.jpg" /></center>
<br />
They can build reefs because calcareous Red Algae have an ability to secrete calcium carbonate. This means that they have a better Phanerozoic fossil record than many other groups of algal protists, and because these are often associated with petroleum deposits there has been a great deal of attention focussed on these fossils. Despite this attention, we still do not fully understand how the rhodophytes precipitate calcium carbonate; the mechanism is not as well studied as those in bone and shell deposition.<br />
<br />
Algae are very important fossils in helping geologists and paleontologists to understand the ancient environments of depositions and ecosystems that existed in the geologic past. The kind of algae present in a rock can give the geologist some idea as to the depth of water in which the rock was deposited.<br />
<br />
Due to its pretty red colour, Red Algae is also very poular as an aquarium plant. It is quite possible that those of you with pet fish may have modern examples of Red Algae living in your homes!<br />
<br />

<font color="red"><b>It would be appreciated if you could send the answers by e-mail. The new messaging system on this website doesn't always let me read your messages.</b></font><br />
In the message, please write the name and GC number of this geocache, which dates you visited and logged it, and also include the following:<br />
<br />
<b>1. Describe the appearance of the stone (paticle size, colour, ...).<br />
2. Measure one of the bigger fossils you can see, and describe its shape and form.<br />
3. Can you identify the type of stone the fossils are contained in?<br />
4. Which geological period do you think they came from, and approximately how many years ago do you think the Reg Algae became fossilized?</b> (There is a large potential time period here, since these fossils could have come from many different geological periods. Try to age the fossils by thinking of when this type of stone is likely to have formed.)<br />
<b>5. Attach a photograph of yourself and/or your GPS with the fossil you described and post this image on your cache log (this is optional but encouraged).</b><br />
<br />
That’s all you have to do. I hope this geocache was an enjoyable break in your journey.<br />
<strong>You do not need to wait for a reply. Log the cache as soon as you have sent the message, and I will get in touch. :)</strong><br />
It would also be very appreciated if you could log a photo of yourselves in front of the fossils, and/or photos of the fossil you found. The photos are completely optional.<br />

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 />
<br />
<hr />
Cache 4 - I cannot live without brainwork. What else is there to live for?<br />
<br />
Like many before him – and I’m sure many after him - the thief seems preoccupied with Royalty. He left a clue in the monarch’s name that is opposite the etching of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s motto.<br />
<br />
Q = the single digit answer
<p><b>To claim this as a find, please post (NOT EMAIL as it fills my inbox) a photo of EACH person logging with your GPSr at the location (WITHOUT REVEALING ANY OF THE ANSWERS) AND using the below answers, send a blank email to <i>monarchnamemonarchno@howeasy.org</i> (eg elizabeth2@howeasy.org).

LongDescription:
The Pullens Estate, one of the London's last known surviving victorian tenemant buildings, were built by James Pullen over a 15 year period from 1886. The full estate, which originally extended southwards as far as Manor Place, comprised 684 dwellings in 12 blocks. Attached to the rear of the dwellings, arranged round four yards, were 106 workshops. The estate’s shops were located at the entrances to the workshopyards. 

Some of the buildings were damaged during German bombing in World War II. Others were demolished when they fell into disrepair. A V1 demolished six houses in Crampton Street and four in Manor Place as well as damaging a public wash house and stores in Manor Place, a railway bridge, two arches, and 300 houses and buildings in Manor Place and surrounding streets. Of the original four Pullens Yards, the Clements Yard, Iliffe Yard and Peacock Yard still remain. They are still in use and house a variety of workers including potters, a lute maker, architects, dressmakers and jewellery designers. 

The yards are open to the public twice yearly to promote the independent traders. The site was used in the 2010 film "The Kings Speech", and the surrounding streets were dressed in a 1936 style to depict Lionel Logue's Kensington home. 

THE CACHE ! - is a wallmounted keysafe box - you'll need an 3 digit code - which is the number painted on the fan-light above the FRONT door of the building on which the cache is hidden. Please ensure the lockpad is "cleared" and the cover replaced when leaving the cache ! PLEASE NOTE - Cache is only available during the day (7 days a week though) - the yard where the cache is located is locked from around 5-6pm every weekday and 4-5pm every Saturday/Sunday.

NOTE - 11th November 2013.
For a number of people who have shown concern in the logs - there is ABSOLUTLEY no affiliation with the cafe nearby - they are well aware of the cache, and keep an eye on it for me - but there is NO obligation to do anything other than find the cache there - the cafe owner and her staff are friendly and support geocaching - there is nothing commercial to gain here !. And for anyone un-educated (!) - a "fan light" - is a window above a door....... (!)

On a personal note - its been a while since i've hidden a cache - i won't be doing many, but since this is near my new home, I thought this would be appropriate - for anyone interested in the demise of some of my older cache's, please see here: http://forums.groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=306133&st=0&p=5190931&hl=flonopoly&fromsearch=1&#entry5190931

  The history of this area is surprising. It started of as a marshy island the ancient Isle of Thorns or Thorny Island. It was formed by rivulets of the River Tyburn, which entered the Thames near the lowest point where it could be forded from the north bank at low tide. It was described in a purported charter of King Offa in 785, which is kept in the Westminster Abbey muniments, as a "terrible place"<br />
<br />
  The name Westminster is a contraction of the words "West Monastery". However over the next 300 years, the monks of the Abbey tamed the brambles, until by the time of Edward the Confessor it was "A delightful place, surrounded by fertile land and green fields". This area was the orchard for Westminster Abbey.<br />
<br />
  Unfortunately it suffered a fall from grace and was referred to as the Devil's Acre. Well into the 19th century this area, was one of the country's worst pits of crime and despair. To quote a local historian, "Into the rookery were crammed every manner of lawbreaker and every vice, festering amid squalor which shocked all who had courage enough to enter". The Devil's Acre was described in Hollingshead's 'Ragged London' and Thomas Beame's 'The Rookeries of London'.<br />
  One of the reasons Victoria Street was built in the 1850's was to clear this area. As you look round the area today you can consider how much the area has changed over the last 1000 years and whether its present state as a modern street covered with tarmac and concrete is an improvement over the Abbey Orchard which gave this street its name.<br />

You are looking for 35mm film pot.

This cache has been placed close by to where my dad used to work until he recently was made redundant.
This cache is to commemorate 42 years service that he gave to the company. First starting to work for them in Manchester and then moving to the London office in the early 80's. 
He had to move house down south and bring his family with him including me. We moved to Maidstone in Kent. He has been in this building for the last 15 years. 
Today (21/02/2012) was his last day in this job. I had to pick him up from work today as he had to hand his company car back, hence i decided to place a cache in his honour.

Please replace the cache as found. Thankyou.

They would then proceed to Vauxhall, and pull into the "down" side platform, where a discharge pipe was provided to the creamery on the other side of the road. There was also pedestrian access from below the station, under the road to the depot, in the tunnel where the pipeline ran. Unloaded trains would then proceed to Waterloo, where they would reverse and return to Clapham Junction to pick up the other half of the train. The procedure was then repeated, so that the entire milk train was unloaded between the end of evening peak traffic and the start of the following morning.</p>

LongDescription:
A palace was built on the Savoy estate in the fourteenth century by John of Gaunt (1340-1399), a younger son of King Edward III.<br />
<br />
It was plundered and burned in 1381 during the Peasants’ Revolt. Contrary to a persistent belief, nothing of the palace survives above ground. It remained semi-derelict until what was left of it was cleared away in the early sixteenth century by command of King Henry VII to construct a foundation known as ‘Hospital of Henry late King of England of the Savoy’.<br />
<br />
The hospital was begun towards the end of the king’s reign and completed by 1515. It was a charitable foundation to provide a night’s lodging for 100 ‘pour and nedie’ men. Engravings of the hospital show an extensive complex of buildings, including a great dormitory, longer than Westminster Hall, and three chapels, dedicated to St John the Baptist, St Catherine and Our Lady.<br />
<br />
The hospital foundation was dissolved in 1702 and most of the complex was demolished in the early nineteenth century for redevelopment and to allow the construction of the approach road to the new Waterloo Bridge.<br />
<br />
All that survives today is the Chapel of St John the Baptist, now known as The Queen’s Chapel of the Savoy.<br />
<br />
On 11 May 1937 King George VI commanded that it should be the Chapel of the Royal Victorian Order.<br />
<br />
The chapel remains governed by the Duchy of Lancaster and as such is a royal peculiar, not being under the jurisdiction of a bishop, but under that of the reigning monarch. It is designated as a Grade II listed building.<br />
<br />
This cache is a nano and only contains a very small log, so you will need to bring your own pen or pencil and please only sign it with your initials, as this will save space. There a many tall buildings in this area and my GPSr was bouncing around all over the place, however these coordinates were the most reliable. When you've finished please tuck it back in its hiding place, exactly as you found it, away from muggle eyes!<br />
<br />
Finally, this is a busy area, so stealth is required at all times, so watch out for those muggles.<br />

<p>George the Martyr is one of the ancient parishes of Southwark and probably the first church in London to be dedicated to St George. The earliest record of the church is in The Annals of Bermondsey Priory, for the year 1122. It records the gift of the advowson of St George’s to the Priory by Thomas de Arderne and his son.</p>
<p>Little or nothing is known about the original Norman church, which was rebuilt at the end on the 14th century. The second church appears on some early maps and drawings of Southwark and can be seen in William Hogarth’s picture of Southwark Fair in 1733. Almost immediately after this the church was again demolished and replaced with the current structure, consecrated in 1736 (although the architect, John Price, died before its completion).</p>
<p>The church retains its Georgian appearance, though a spectacular new ceiling was designed in 1897, in an Italianate style, by Basil Champneys. During the Second World War, the building suffered blast damage and a major restoration was carried out at the beginning of the 1950s.</p>
<p>In the Middle Ages, the Borough High Street ran south from London Bridge, ending at the church, with St George’s Fields lying beyond. On special occasions the Mayor and Aldermen of the City of London would venture out to St Georges to welcome important visitors, as they did for Henry V, on his return from Agincourt.</p>
<p>Amongst the famous associated with St George’s are Peter Carmelianus (the poet and Latin scholar to Henry VII) who was Rector; the poet, John Gower, who was a benefactor; Nahum Tate, author of the carol While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks By Night (who was buried here); Edward Cocker and Edmund Gunther (both mathematicians). Charles Dickens also has a considerable link with the parish and church (see ‘Our Community and other links’ – The Dickens Fellowship).</p>
<p>During the 19th century, the Borough became one of the most densely populated areas in England. The Vestry Meeting, chaired by the Rector, continued to discharge local authority functions for the parish up until the late 1890s, when the Metropolitan Borough of Southwark was established.</p>
<p>There are continuous registers dating from 1602 (although all historic registers are now with the Metropolitan Archive) and records of the Civil Parish and its Vestry Meeting are held at the nearby Southwark Local Studies Library.</p>
<p>The Church is now very much in a changing building environment.</p>

LongDescription:
<b><u>Location Information</u></b><br />
The Catholic Parish of the Most Precious Blood was founded in 1891 by Bishop Butt when he received a bequest of £10,000 (this is equivalent to just over £1m today). The parish covers the Borough, which is just south of the City of London and next to London Bridge Station.<br />
<br />
Until December 2012, the Parish had been served for thirty years by the Society of the Divine Saviour (otherwise known as Salvatorians). In January 2013 the Archbishop of Southwark, Peter Smith, gave the care of the Parish to the Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham.<br />
<br />
The architect of the Church was Frederick Arthur Walters (1849–1931 who built this in the Romanesque Revival style. Walters was a pupil of George Goldie and, like Goldie, developed an extensive practice designing Catholic Churches. Walters’ best known works are the Abbeys at Buckfast and Ealing but he was the architect of over fifty Churches in a variety of styles. Within the Archdiocese of Southwark he was responsible for many Churches from the intimate St Wilfrid, Kennington (1914-15) through to the magnificent Sacred Heart, Wimbledon (1884-87). He also designed the Seminary at Wonersh (1891).<br />
On the old bridge that stood there at the time a major battle took place between the pagan Vikings and the Christian Saxons, with the latter’s victory securing the Christian future of the land. Near the bridge, many years later, a Saxon convent was built and, later still, the great church of St Mary Overie which stands there to this day has now become the Anglican cathedral for this area.<br />
<br />
The church in the 1890's was serving what was then a largely Irish congregation associated with the local hop industry. The hops – the central ingredient in beer – arrived by the trainload from the Kent hopfields.<br />
<br />
When Pope Benedict XVI announced Anglicanorum Coetibus, inviting groups of Anglicans to come into full communion with Rome, bringing with them their traditions, their music, their patrimony, the parish of St Agnes at Kennington was quick to respond. And, after some weeks and months of homelessness and uncertainty, they were finally given this church – a parish where numbers were dwindling and a building which local gossip had said was destined for closure.<br />
<br />
Since then the church has been cleaned up, sacristy renewed with a fine old “lantern” ceiling which was discovered behind some modern tiles, new heating has been installed and the choir gallery restored to use, a shrine to Bl. John Henry Newman (patron of the Ordinariate) installed.<br />
<br />
<b>To find the cache you will need to answer the follow questions to solve the puzzle:<br /></b><br />

   You are standing by a bronze statue of King Charles I. The statue is placed on a stone base which is has been there for many years and as a result it is heavily eroded.
<p>If you look to the North you will see the National Gallery extension where you will see some newly quarried examples of this stone. It is white and smooth unlike the stone making up the base of the statue.</p>
<p>The degree of erosion of this stone gives you a means of estimating how long ago the stone was quarried. The stone formed when small particles of a salt crystallised out of solution and formed tiny egg like grains which over time became a smooth rock which can be cut in any directions to form neat blocks.</p>
<p>However at the time this rock was forming there were creatures living in the sea. and when they died their remains fell into the sea floor and were incorporated into the stone. These remains are harder than the stone forming the base so as that stone erodes the fossils slowly emerge. This is explains why fossils are constantly appearing as the rocks containing the fossils are eroding away.</p>
<p>On the NorthWest corner of the stone plinth you will see a large fossil.</p>
<p>To log this cache answer the following questions:</p>
<p>1) Name the type of stone .</p>
<p>2) Describe the large fossil and measure its size.</p>
<p>3) Name the type of creature which was fossilised.</p>
<p>4) When the plinth was first placed in position, the surface would have been smooth but over time the surface would have eroded away exposing the large fossil. Measure how far the large fossil protrudes from the surface and include this figure in your answer. Given that this stone erodes at the rate of approximately two milimetres a century, how long do you estimate this stone has been here exposed to the elements?</p>
<p>I try to reply to all emails sending me answers within 48 hours.Unfortunately sometimes emails sent by geocaching.com do not arrive. So if you have not heard from me in reply to your email with in 72 hours please feel free to send me another email.</p>
<p>I emailed the Geologist Association about the works. They kindly contacted English Heritage who have stated that the work should not impact on the fossil so hopefully it will survive the works.</p>

LongDescription:
<p>The Temple area is one of the main legal districts in London and a notable centre for English law, both historically and in the present day. The Temple area of the City of London consists of the Inner Temple and the Middle Temple, which are two of the four Inns of Court and act as local authorities in place of the City of London Corporation within their areas.</p>
<p>Temple gives its name to Temple tube station, served by the District (green) and Circle (yellow) lines, which is situated in the southwest of the area, between Temple Place and the Victoria Embankment. There is also a Temple Pier on the Victoria Embankment, situated near the Tube station immediately upstream of the Westminster-City of London boundary; HQS Wellington is permanently moored there.</p>
<p>The Temple was originally the precinct of the Knights Templar whose Temple Church was named in honour of Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem. The Knights had two halls, whose modern successors are the Middle Temple Hall and the Inner Temple Hall.  Only the Inner Temple Hall preserves elements of the medieval hall on the site, however (namely, the medieval Buttery).<br />
 <br />
The Royal Courts of Justice are just to the north and Temple tube station is located to the west in the City of Westminster. The wider Temple area is roughly bound by the River Thames (the Victoria Embankment) to the south, Surrey Street to the west, Strand and Fleet Street to the north, and Carmelite Street and Whitefriars Street to the east.<br />
 <br />
It contains many barristers' chambers, solicitors' offices, as well as some notable legal institutions such as the Employment Appeal Tribunal. The International Institute for Strategic Studies has its headquarters at Arundel House.</p>

                   Jerermy Bentham (1748 - 1832) was an English utilitarian philosopher and social reformer. He first attained attention as a critic of the leading legal theorist in eighteenth century England, Sir William Blackstone. Bentham's campaign for social and political reforms in all areas, most notably the criminal law, had its theoretical basis in his utilitarianism, expounded in his Introduction to the Principles of Morals and Legislation, a work written in 1780 but not published until 1789. In it he formulated the principle of utility, which approves of an action in so far as an action has an overall tendency to promote the greatest amount of happiness. Happiness is identified with pleasure and the absence of pain. To work out the overall tendency of an action, Bentham sketched a felicific ("happiness-making") calculus, which takes into account the intensity, duration, likelihood, extent, etc of pleasures and pains.
<p>Bentham was a visionary far ahead of his time, he advocated universal suffrage and the decriminalisation of homosexuality.He was an outspoken advocate of law reform, a pugnacious critic of established political doctrines like natural law and contractarianism,</p>
<p>For nearly forty years he lived quietly in Westminster on this spot, producing between ten and twenty sheets of manuscript a day, even when he was in his eighties.</p>
<p>There is a plaque here commemorating his work placed by the City of Westminster and University College London so I as a graduate of University College London, a University which went a long way to fulfilling Bentham's vision of what a University should be, felt I had to place a cache here to mark the location of the house where he worked for so many years.</p>

WINCHESTER GEESE.
The Cross bones graveyard in Red Cross Way, close to Borough Tube Station.
You will see a gate of rusty iron bars adorned with glittering ribbons, flowers, feathers and other curious items.  There is also a large skull and crossbones in place.

This is a unconsecrated grave yard where the prostitutes and paupers of the Borough were buried from medieval times until the 1850's. It is believed that 15,000 are buried here.  In medieval times the prostitutes of the area [known as the Winchester Geese]were licensed by the Bishop of Winchester but were denied burial in consecrated ground.  The graveyard was later used as a paupers burial ground.     The grave yard was rediscovered when bodies were found during the building of the Jubillee line and since that time people have been campaigning for a small memorial garden to the forgotten dead to be allowed on the site which is currently concreted over.

Ritual and drama events are carried out on the site frequently. The rituals are simple,inclusive and non dogmatic, emphasing respect for the 'ancestors' and honouring the spirit of the place.
The Halloween of cross bones has been observed every halloween night since 1998 with hundreds making a candlelit procession to the site.
Some meet monthly at 7.00pm on the 23rd of the month to maintain the gate area.

Across the road is 'The Boot and Flogger' wine bar which occupies an anonymous grey building opposite, looking very much like Dickens description of Dombey's counting house rather than a place of intoxication and frivolity!
This is a very high calibre wine bar.  On entering you find a long, generous sized room with lots of romantic cubby holes for those requiring solitude.  The furnishings are very comfortable and the atmosphere extremely convivial.
Excellent, well priced wines and food and the toilets are well worth a visit in themselves.
Closes at 8.00 pm however.

LongDescription:
<p><span style="font-size:medium;">Nelson's Column in Trafalgar Square is one of the most famous monuments in London, receiving thousands of visitors every year. It was originally conceived by John Nash in 1812 to commemorate Nelson's victory at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805, but Trafalgar Square was not actually started until almost 30 years later to designs by Charles Barry.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;">The foundations for Nelson's Column were laid in 1839 and it was completed by 1843.  The whole monument is 51.6 m tall from the bottom of the pedestal to the top of Nelson's hat.  ??The column itself is built of massive drums of grey Foggintor granite from Devon, with the statue itself carved from the Scottish Craigleith sandstone.  <br />
<br /></span></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;font-size:large;"><strong>Granite</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;">Granite has long been used for its strength and durability as well as its attractive appearance. Few stone types have been used for such a wide range of purposes, from structural and engineering foundations to decorative building interiors. Granite was quarried in all corners of the British Isles, initially from coastal locations and transported by sea to the major urban centres.??The granite used in Nelson’s Column came from the Foggintor Quarry on Dartmoor in Devon.<br /></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-size:medium;">Granite forms from the cooling of large magma bodies at depth in the crust, the slow cooling allowing the growth of large and interlocking mineral crystals. Compositionally, granites typically contain 55-75% silica and are commonly pale coloured with medium to coarse grained crystals discernable to the naked eye. The interlocking crystals provide cohesion which adds strength and makes them suitable for polishing. Finer grained granites were typically used for structural purposes (e.g. foundations, walling, kerbstones, setts and paving), while coarser grained and porphyritic (i.e. with large crystals usually of feldspar) varieties were valued for ornamental work. The predominance of silica and other relatively stable minerals in granite make it particularly strong and durable.  Granite is hard and not very porous and is composed of several different materials.?<br />
<br /></span></span></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;font-size:large;"><strong>Sandstone</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;">The statue of Nelson atop the column is carved from two blocks of Craigleith sandstone, obtained from the Granton Quarry in Scotland.  The first idea had been for the statue to be cast in bronze, but that was found to be too expensive. It was then decided to use Portland stone – a limestone from the south of England.  However, the statue was to be 17 feet high and it proved impossible to obtain large enough pieces of stone. The organising committee then had a sample of Craigleith stone sent to London by steamer in October 1840. There were problems in getting large enough blocks out of the quarry but this was accomplished and the stone was delivered in July 1842. After the blocks had been carved by the sculptor, Edward Hodges Baily (1788 – 1867), they were lifted into position on top of the column on 3 November 1843.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;">Craigleith Stone is perhaps the most durable sandstone in the United Kingdom.  It consists of quartz grains united in a siliceous cement with small plates of mica.  It contains 98% of silica and only 1% carbonate of lime.   This sandstone is much less porous than many types used in the UK and suffers little erosion in comparison.</span></p>

<li style="font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-size:medium;">Granite comes in many different colours (pinks, reds, greys, creams, whites etc).  What colour is the granite used in Nelson's Column?    Are the grains in the granite fine or coarse?  Do you think that the granite chosen was the type used for ornamental or structural purposes?</span></li>
<li style="font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-size:medium;">The statue is made of sandstone and not granite.  Why do you think this is?</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size:medium;">On 11 November 1918, on Armistice Day, thousands of people gathered in Trafalgar Square and a large bonfire was lit at the base of Nelson’s Column.  The intense heat caused the granite in one of the blocks to crack.  The cracked, distorted block can still be seen today in the centre of the base on the west side of the column.  Find this block and describe the cracks you can see. Can you explain why the granite cracked?</span></li>

<p>The Entrance to the River Fleet c. 1750 (Samuel Scott)</p>
<p><strong>This Cache:</strong> If you have done the full walk, congratulations.</p>
<p>Magnetic nano</p>
<p>As the crow flies, you are now 8,010 metres from the source of the River Fleet in front of Kenwood House on Hampstead Heath, 104m above your current elevation.</p>
<p>In Anglo-Saxon times, the Fleet was still a substantial body of water, joining the Thames through a marshy tidal basin over 100 yards (91 m) wide at the mouth of the Fleet Valley. As the picture above shows, in the 18th century this was still a wide channel, navigable all the way to Kings Cross. It formed a natural defence to the western flank of the old walled City of London. In 1737 the River Fleet was covered over from Holborn to Ludgate Circus and the area was used as a market place, the Fleet Market which survived until the 1860's. The lower part, the section from Ludgate Circus to the Thames was covered by 1769 for the opening of the new Blackfriars Bridge and was therefore named 'New Bridge Street'. The bridge you see now is the second bridge on this spot built in 1869 and opened by Queen Victoria.</p>
<p>From here, you can see the mysterious mouth of the River Fleet. At the bottom of the stairs coming down from the bridge you will see a sign "Paul's Walk". Next to it is a lamp post on the corner. Lean out from the side, carefully, and look to the left under Blackfriars Bridge. <img src="http://img.geocaching.com/cache/da164ed7-0eca-465a-9d18-9bf9e0ee5bba.jpg" style="border:0px;float:left;font-family:inherit;font-size:13.0012998580933px;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;height:300px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;width:360px;" />Low down, just past the encrusted grey ladder is a brick archway. This is where the River Fleet meets the River Thames.You can also go down under Blackfriars Bridge and lean over the embankment wall, just to the left of the grey steel ladder.</p>
 
<p><em><strong>N.B. This final exit of the River Fleet is not visible at certain times of tide. When I visited it was 2.5 hours after low tide and was still visible. This means it should be visible for at least five hours around the low tide point.</strong></em></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>

                   This cache is a walk around St James's Park. I had found a good hiding place for the final spot where I could place the cache. However we are no longer allowed to place caches in the Royal Parks. Fortunately I have found an alternative location to place the cache which is out side the Royal Parks so you will be able to walk round the park and find the cache which is about 5 mins walk from the last waypoint.
<p>            St James's Park was once a marshy watermeadow. In the thirteenth centuary a leper hospital was founded and the Park takes its name from the hospital. In 1532 Henry VIII purchased the land to use it as a deer park and built the Palace of St James's. The Park was developed by James I but it was Charles II who made dramatic changes. The Park was redesigned , with avenues of trees planted and lawns laid. George IV had the park remodeled by John Nash in a more romantic style. A canel was was transformed into a natural looking lake and took on its present form.</p>
<p>            Do watch out for the famous Pelicans! The first Pelicans were a gift from the Russian Ambassador to Charles II in 1684. There are currently four pelicans; three Eastern White and one American White (which has a crest on its break.) They occasionally leave the lake and wander at will along the paths. They are large birds and it is best not to annoy them. They have been known to swallow the odd pigeons in their large beaks.In order to prevent this, they are feed 12 pounds of fish every day at 2.30 pm by Duck Island Cottage (WP6)!</p>
<p>            To find the cache you have to walk round St James's Park collecting numbers to give you the coordinates to the actual cache location which is outside the Park. The walk should take about a hour and a half and will take you round the Park.            </p>
<p>Stage One.The Walk starts by a fountain provided by the Metropolitan Water Board. There is a date on the fountain. It is 1H63.<br />
<br />
The second letter of the date is "H".</p>
<p>Walk west to Stage Two N51 30.023 W000 08.342 There is a date written on this Memorial Tablet 9th April 193G. The last numeral of the year is “G”.</p>
<p>Walk South to Stage 3 N51 30.095 W000 08.356. There is a large retaining wall to your left. You will see the wall has a letter and a number craved into belonging to a 20th Century Monarch. If you take 2 from the number this gives you both “I” and “J". There is scaffolding going up at present and the path to the wall may be blocked. As a hint the Monach is the Queen's great grand father.</p>
<p>Walk East to Stage 4 N 51° 30.161 W 000° 08.222. There was a stone here as a memorial dated 4th August 1980 The last number of the year is "B" "C" and "F"</p>
<p>Walk East to Stage 5 N51 30.265 W000 07.774. This is the Guards Memorial. It remembers soldiers from the foot guard regiments who died in two World Wars.The bronze figures were modelled on real living guardsmen. The Memorial was designed by Gilbert Ledward and unveiled in 1926. On the North Face of the memorial there is a list of regiments. You will see the 3, D and 9 Field Ambulances. The Second Number is “D”</p>
<p>Walk South to Stage 6 Duck Cottage N51 30.190 W000 07.788</p>
Duck Island Cottage was built in 1841 as the home of the bird-keeper in St James's Park. The design like a Swiss chalet was intended to be a contrast to the grand architecture of the Treasury Building across the road. The cottage later become a store for bicycles confiscated in the park but it is now used as offices. There is a bridge with a weight limit leading to Duck Island Cottage. The first numeral of the weight limit is A”.
<p>Walk South to Stage 8 the Police Station N51 30.094 W000 07.811</p>
<p>There is a box on the West side of the Police Station It has a letter and two numbers written on it J2E. The last letter is “E”</p>
<p>The actual cache is at N51 AB.CDE W000 FG.HIJ.</p>
<p>While you walked to the actual cache keep an eye out for the headless woman who is supposed to haunt this area. Traditionally she is the ghost of a wife of a sergeant at the nearby barracks who murdered her in the 1780s. Having cut off her head he buried it at a secret location and them threw her body into the lake in St James's Park.</p>
<p>Good Luck</p>
<p>You can check your answers for this puzzle on <a href="http://www.geochecker.com/index.php?code=90e386ce727c8a67f588352bdb121137&amp;action=check&amp;wp=4743315a505631&amp;name=57616c6b2061726f756e6420746865205061726b">Geochecker.com</a>.</p>
<p><br />
The cache contains a log book and a pencil.</p>
There are paths leading to all the way points so it should be possible to complete the cache is a wheelchair though there are roads with kerbs to be crossed and assitance might be required to retrieve the cache .
<p>I have been told the cache is Wheelchair accessible.</p>
<p>I have increased the difficulty level to a three as GPS reception is very poor round here. If you have problems email me for a more hints</p>
<p>A well done to Goldpot for his First to Find</p>
<p>I have received a report that the stone may be missing from way point 4. Hopefully it will be back soon as it marks a garden that was created for the birthday of someone very closely related to the Queen. The date is 4th August 1980 .</p>

Hints:
Near the wall behind a drainpipe about two feet from the   ground. Please note the cache is NOT near any residential properties.

  Christchurch Gardens originally formed part of the burial grounds of St Margaret's Westminster which covered a far larger area than the surviving gardens. Today the surviving gravestones, the perimeter wall and the eight plane trees indicating a former avenue to the nave of St Margaret's are the last vestiges of the garden's original function.<br />
  There is a large flowing piece of metal called the Suffragette Scroll which was erected in 1970 by the Suffragette Society. It faces Caxton Hall the scene of many important meetings organised to promote women’s voting rights. The first such meeting on 19th February 1906 resulted in a march led by Sylvia Pankhurst in the rain to Strangers Entrance to the House where after initially being refused access relays of 20 drenched women were able to lobby their member of Parliament. Women finally achieved equal voting rights in 1928.<br />
  The cache is a small silver nano.Please be careful when opening the cache NOT to lose the small disk magnet at the bottom of the cache!

<p>The timbers are visible at low tide.</p>
<p>You may want to find the time of low tide here so as to be able to see the timbers here … (<a href="http://www.pla.co.uk/display_fixedpage.cfm/id/11/site/maritime" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">visit link</a>)<br />
(How to use: Look for Chelsea Bridge and your date of visit. Then find the time of the lowest number. Eg for 8th March 2011, low tide is at 10.54 and 22.59 .</p>
<p>The timbers were discovered by a team from the Thames Discovery Programme as they investigated the area during a continuing project to record archaelogical and historic remains on the Thames foreshore.</p>
<p>The discovery was kept secret to allow to allow a detailed survery of the remains. Radiocardon dating indicated that the logs were from the Mesolithic period. Near the timbers late Mesolithic tools were found as well slightly later Neolithic pottery of two distinct types.</p>
<p>The archaelogists worked in difficult conditions under the watching eyes of the secuirty services and a circling helicopter. The discovery was published in the Winter issue of London Archaelogists in an article called " London's Top Secret".</p>
<p>The timbers are on the foreshore right in view of MI6 and can be viewed from the bridge which is where the cache is hidden.</p>
<p>When Ducktngan and I visted the site at Low Tide on Sunday 23rd Jan 2011 we were able to see one of the timber piles sticking out of the water.One of the amateur archaeologists visiting the site found a flint tool on the foreshore that was still sharp! I have uploaded pictures of our visit to the web page.</p>

<p><b>Trafalgar Square</b></p>
<p>Trafalgar Square is a public space and tourist attraction in the City of Westminster. In the 1820s, George IV engaged the architect John Nash to redevelop the square as part of his Charing Cross Improvement Scheme. The present architecture of the square is due to Sir Charles Barry and was completed in 1845. The name commemorates the Battle of Trafalgar, a British naval victory of the Napoleonic Wars over France and Spain. The original name was to have been "King William the Fourth's Square".</p>
<p>Nelson's Column is in the centre of the square and there are a number of other commemorative statues and sculptures in the square. The square is also used for political demonstrations and community gatherings, such as the celebration of New Year's Eve.</p>
<p>Trafalgar Square is owned by the Queen in Right of the Crown and managed by the Greater London Authority, while Westminster City Council owns the roads around the square, including the pedestrianised area of the North Terrace.</p>
<br />
<p><b>Nelson's Column</b></p>
<p>Nelson's Column is a monument in Trafalgar Square in central London built to commemorate Admiral Horatio Nelson, who died at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. The monument was designed by William Railton and completed in 1843. The column is built from Dartmoor granite and the 5.5m statue at the top made of Craigleith sandstone. The pedestal is decorated with four bronze relief panels, cast from captured French guns. The panels depict the Battle of Cape St Vincent, the Battle of the Nile, the Battle of Copenhagen and the Death of Nelson at Trafalgar. The four bronze lions on the base were added in 1867. The whole monument is 169 ft 3 in (51.6 m) tall from the bottom of the pedestal to the top of Nelson's hat.</p>
<br />
<p><b>The National Gallery</b></p>
<p>The National Gallery is an art museum founded in 1824 and houses a collection of over 2,300 paintings dating from the mid-13th century to 1900. Its collection belongs to the public of the United Kingdom and entry to the main collection is free of charge. It is the fourth most visited art museum in the world, after the Musée du Louvre, the British Museum, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The collection features such works as Van Gogh's "Sunflowers", Monet's "The Water Lily Pond" and Holbein's "The Ambassadors".</p>
<br />
<p><b>The Plinths</b></p>
<ul>
<li>North-East Plinth - A bronze equestrian statue of George IV by Sir Francis Chantrey was placed here in 1844. It was originally intended for the top of the Marble Arch.</li>
<li>South-West Plinth - The statue of General Sir Charles James Napier by George Cannon Adams was placed on the south-west plinth in 1855. Napier was notable for conquering Sindh, which is now one of the four provinces of Pakistan.</li>
<li>South-East Plinth - The statue of Major-General Sir Henry Havelock by William Behneswa placed on the south-east plinth in 1861. Havelock was particularly associated the recapture of Cawnpore from rebels during the Indian Rebellion of 1857.</li>
<li>North-West Plinth (The Fourth Plinth) - The fourth plinth was originally intended to hold an equestrian statue of William IV, however, a statue was never commissioned due to insufficient funds. Since 1998, it has been used for a series of artworks. From March 2015, the fourth plinth will feature Hans Haacke's "Gift Horse". In 2008, the former Lord Mayor of London, Ken Livingstone revealed "The understanding is that the fourth plinth is being reserved for Queen Elizabeth II."</li>
</ul>
<br />
<p><b>The Fountains</b></p>
<p>Two fountains were installed in 1841, to counteract the effects of the reflected heat and glare from the proposed asphalt surface. The plan was welcomed, as it was thought the fountains would reduce the open space available for public gatherings and thus reduce the risk of riotous assembly. The fountains were fed from two wells, one in front of the National Gallery and one behind it, connected by a tunnel. The water was pumped by a steam engine, housed in a building behind the gallery.</p>
<p>The pump system was replaced with a one capable of sending an 80-foot (24 m) jet of water into the air. A new LED lighting system was designed with the London 2012 Summer Olympics in mind, and for the first time could project many different combinations of colours on to the fountains.</p>
<br />
<p><b>Other Statues</b></p>
<p>There are three busts of admirals against the north wall of the square. In 1948, busts were installed of Lord Jellicoe, commander of the Royal Navy during World War I, and his successor, Lord Beatty. A bust of the Second World War First Sea Lord Admiral Cunningham was added in 1967.</p>
<p>On the south side of the square, on the site of the original Charing Cross, is a bronze equestrian statue of Charles I by Hubert Le Sueur. It was cast in 1633, and placed in its present position in 1678.</p>
<p>There are two statues on the lawn in front of the National Gallery - James II to the west of the portico, and George Washington, to the east.</p>
<p>Two statues erected in the 19th century have since been removed. One, of Edward Jenner, the discoverer of vaccination, was set up in the south-west corner of the square in 1858, next to that of Napier. It was moved to Kensington Gardens in 1862. The other, of General Charles George Gordon, was erected on an 18-foot high pedestal between the two fountains in 1888. It was removed in 1943 and re-sited on the Victoria Embankment ten years later.</p>

LONG DESCRIPTION:
***Sadly, I have had to replace the original box with nanos due to muggle interference. Hopefully, I will be able to replace them with a larger box again in the future.***

You are at the location of The New Globe - a replica of Shakespeare’s Playing Company’s famous open air theatre. The original site was found during a building project and now this beautiful theatre has been recreated very close to the original site. Sitting in the shadow of the Tate Modern (a former power station); with views to St. Paul’s Cathedral and ‘The Gherkin’; this part of London is a melting pot of re-use, regeneration and the traditional. New and old stand shoulder to shoulder at the banks of the River Thames. 
Somehow, like Shakespeare, the Globe claims its right to make its presence felt in the 21st Century. It is open for educational visits; and plays are performed in the evenings. Traditional and contemporary works fight for stage space. For the official Globe Website, click here… http://www.shakespeares-globe.org/ 
Wikipedia Globe Page – click here… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Globe_theatre 

SO, TO THE CACHE…
NOTE: Check website for opening times. (There is no cost to enter the site during the day but you will not be able to enter when a performance is on during the evening.)

This is my first cache hide and I have made it as easy as possible just to make sure I did everything correct, your looking for a nano with just a log so please bring your own pen/pencil. I decided to do this location for 2 reasons, 1: because it's close to home and 2: there is not another cache in Kennington park, Kennington park does have an interesting history, Think Prince consort lodge and you can't go wrong...I hope I got the co-ords right, I'm sure you will let me know if I haven't. Happy caching.........oh and lots of muggles so stealth is the key here.

The park is open from 7-30 am until sunset.



CONGRATULATIONS TO Cache! Eh? FOR BEING THE FTF, WTG!

ShortDescription:
Kennington Park was first opened in 1854 and lies between Kennington Park Road and St Agnes Place. It had previously been called 'Kennington Common', and until 1800 was the site of public executions as well as being the South London 'speakers corner'. Methodist founders George Whitefield and John Wesley are some of the illustrious orators to speak at the Common and are reputed to have attracted a crowd of 30,000.

Carry On Spying is a 1964 film and is the ninth movie in the Carry On film series and marks Barbara Windsor's first appearance. It is the last Carry On film in the series shot in black and white.

<p>Plot: A top secret chemical formula has been stolen by STENCH (the Society for the Total Extinction of Non-Conforming Humans). Fearful of what would happen if that formula fell into the wrong hands, the Chief of the secret service, reluctantly sends the only agent he has left, the bumbling and snide Agent Desmond Simpkins, (Kenneth Williams), and his three trainees, Agent Harold Crump, (Bernard Cribbins), Agent Daphne Honeybutt, (Barbara Windsor), and Agent Charlie Bind (Charles Hawtrey), to find the formula.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LgsSk5ODUy8">Film clip</a></p>
<p>The Agents are hot on the trail, chasing the villains across the world. Their pursuit takes them to Vienna, and to Algiers. Upon the way they encounter the STENCH agents, the Fat Man and Milchmann (who stole the formula disguised as a milkman). Unfortunately the agents' lack of experience results in their contact agent, Carstairs (Jim Dale), being floored in an encounter with the Fat Man, and they also encounter the mysterious Lila (Dilys Laye), of whom they are uncertain if they can trust.<br />
Production: James Bond producer Albert R. Broccoli objected to the character name "James Bind agent 006 1/2" and threatened legal action. Therefore the name was changed to Charlie and the agent's code number to double 0 - ooh! Poster artist Tom Chantrell also had to modify the poster when similar complaints were voiced that the artwork was too similar to From Russia with Love.</p>
<p>The film pokes fun at various spy movies, James Bond being the least of them. One or two of Crow's female assistants wear hairstyles similar to that of Modesty Blaise whose adventures had started in the Evening Standard the previous year.</p>
<p>Filming dates: Filming dates - 8 February 1964 - 13 March 1964</p>

<p>On the 6th March 2011 a group of Beligium Cachers organised a flash mob in London. The cache was GC2KAET "International Flash Mob in London " and was organised by Herostratos<br />

<p>The Red Telephone box is a classic icon of London.<br />
Its design goes back to a competition run by The Royal Fine Art Commission which was instrumental in the choice of the British standard kiosk.</p>
<p>Because of widespread dissatisfaction with the GPO's design, the Metropolitan Boroughs Joint Standing Committee organised a competition for a superior one in 1923, but the results were disappointing. The Birmingham Civic Society then produced a design of its own — in reinforced concrete — but it was informed by the Director of Telephones that the design produced by the Office of the Engineer-in-Chief was preferred; as the Architects’ Journal commented, 'no one with any knowledge of design could feel anything but indignation with the pattern that seems to satisfy the official mind.' The Birmingham Civic Society did not give up and, with additional pressure from the Royal Institute of British Architects, the Town Planning Institute and the Royal Academy, the Postmaster General was forced to think again; and the result was that the RFAC organised a limited competition.</p>
<p>The organisers invited entries from three respected architects and, along with the designs from the Post Office and from The Birmingham Civic Society, the Fine Arts Commission judged the competition and selected the design submitted by Giles Gilbert Scott.</p>
<p>His design for the competition was in the classical style, but topped with a dome reminiscent of Soane's self-designed mausoleums in St Pancras' Old Churchyard and Dulwich Picture Gallery.</p>
<p>This was the classic K2 which was only used in London as it was too expensive to use elsewhere . All K2 kiosks now on the street are preserved as Listed buildings.</p>
<p>In 1935 the K6 (kiosk number six) was designed to commemorate the silver jubilee of King George V.</p>
The K6 is smaller than the K2 and was used though out the British Isle.
<p>These two boxes are near the United Westminster Almshouses. I have put a link to their website so that you can read the history of these almshouses.</p>

<center>The Blackfriars fishing on the River Fleet</center>
<p><strong>This Cache:</strong> This cache has had to be moved from its original location due to re-landscaping works near the pub. Find the cache and then view the mural on the pub 75m south from here. The cache is on the east side of the road. Take a look at the mosaic mural above the entrance to this old art-nouveau public house. It shows two black friar monks, in their trademark black robes, fishing with the banks of the River Fleet in the background.</p>
<p>The name Blackfriars was first used in 1317 (as Black Freres from the French 'frère' meaning 'brother') and derives from the black cappa worn by the Dominican Friars who moved their priory from Holborn to the area between the River Thames and Ludgate Hill in 1276.</p>
<p>This building is on the site of a former Dominican friary which existed from 1279 to 1539. Following the two hundred and sixty years of the Dominican Friars the site became the parliament chamber of the monastery. It is believed that Emperor Charles V, the Papal Magistrate and Henry VIII's court sat on this very site during the dissoloution of Henry VIII's marriage to Catherine of Aragon in 1532. This paved the way for the split from Rome, the formation of the Church of England, and the eventual dissolution of the monasteries, which closed this priory in 1538.</p>

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 />

<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 />
If visiting this cache at weekends check <a href="http://www.templechurch.com/contact-us/find-us/">this link</a> for access information.<br />

LongDescription:
<p>The Inn was established in the medieval period on Borough High Street and is owned by the National Trust for its unique heritage. It is the only surviving galleried London coaching in. The first map of Southwark (Duchy of Lancaster ca1543) clearly shows it marked as 'Gorge'. It was formerly known as the George and Dragon, named after the legend of St. George and the Dragon.</p>
<p>The building was one of the many famous coaching inn's in the days of Charles Dickens. Dickens in fact visited and referred to it in his book - Little Dorrit (you will find Dickens references abundant in the area) It is thought that the Galleried Inns were the inspiration of the original theatres, that the Players were on a dais in the Courtyard with the standing audience next to them and that those paying a premium would be in the Galleries with a better view. In 1677, it was rebuilt after a serious fire that destroyed most of medieval Southwark. </p>
<p><strong>Final Cache Coordinate Clue 1: Take the first 2 digits from the date of the Duchy of Lancaster's Map and reverse them. This will number XX = A</strong></p>
<p><strong>Final Cache Coordinate Clue 2: Look for the last 3 digits of the year on the National trust plaque. (xxx+23) = F</strong></p>
<p>Walk west to the next waypoint - 20 Redcross Way </p>
<p>The second Inn/warehouse can be found near the Cross Bones graveyard &amp; garden. Occasionally you can get access through to the old warehouse Stable Yard (where the horses were kept). From the sign you can see it is a "Free Vintner" The little known Vintners' privilege covers the Square Mile and three miles beyond the City. Also covered by Vintners privilege are some towns on the road between London and Dover and London and Berwick. Some port towns such as Sandwich and Weymouth are also included.</p>
<p>Under the special dispensation confirmed by James I in 1611. Indeed they can claim that the right to sell wine without a licence dates from a charter of 1567 granted by Queen Elizabeth I. While here, also check out the nearby Winchester Geese - GC13ZAG</p>
<p><strong>Final Cache Coordinate Clue 3: Using A=1, B=2 etc. - take the second to letter in the street name and convert it to a digit. 0X = E</strong></p>
<p><strong>Final Cache Coordinate Clue 4: Take this same digit as in clue 3 0X0 = C</strong></p>
<p>Head to waypoint 3. 27 Clennam Street (Again a Dickens street reference and was the shortest street street in London until it was part pedestrianised). An ancient Inn has stood on this site for over 300 years. The present building, with its unique faience facade of glazed coloured earthenware tiles, today remains all but exactly as rebuilt at the turn of the century. A dig next door in 2006, found clay-pipes (dating to the mid 17th century), a bear jaw &amp; earthenware pottery! Across the street is the historic Mint Street Park, home of the original Evelina Hospital - See GC47A6Q. :)</p>
<p><strong>Final Cache Coordinate Clue 5: Take the final digit of the year the present building was rebuilt. X and multiply by 10 this will = B</strong></p>
<p><strong>Final Cache Coordinate Clue 6: Take the full year the building was rebuilt and multiply by 0. This XXX = D</strong></p>
<p><strong>Final Cache location is N =  A° B. C W= D° E.F</strong></p>
<p><strong>The final cache is a perfect example of its kind built at the turn of the century. Should you also wish to continue the tour, also look at the exterior of 44 Tabbard Street. Like the 27 Clennam Street it is a perfect example of Victorian Architecture.</strong></p>

LongDescription:
Covent Garden, in the heart of London was originally the Anglo-Saxon trading town of Lundenwic. In the 13th century it was the arable land and orchard of Westminster Abbey and was referred to as "the garden of the Abbey and Convent". It became an area of disrepute with taverns and brothels and then slowly changed into a fruit and flower market. In 1974 the traffic congestion  was so great,  the market was relocated to  Nine Elms in Battersea/Vauxhall and  the central buildings reopened as a shopping and craft centre. The central square has a history of street performers. The church of St Pauls, designed by Inigo Jones, is known as the actors church and was completed in 1633. The area is a must for all tourists and has a great selection of restaurants and theatres.

<p>The present market, located on Southwark Street and Borough High Street just south of Southwark Cathedral on the southern end of London Bridge, is a successor to one that originally adjoined the end of London Bridge. It was first mentioned in 1276, although the market itself claims to have existed since 1014.</p>
<p>During the 19th century it became one of London's most important food markets due to its strategic position near the riverside wharves of the Pool of London.</p>
<p>The present buildings were designed in 1851, with additions in the 1860s and an entrance designed in the Art Deco style added on Southwark Street in 1932. A refurbishment began in 2001</p>
<p>Stallholders come to trade at the market from different parts of the UK and traditional European products are also shipped over and sold. Amongst the produce on sale are fresh fruit and vegetables, cheese, meat, game and freshly baked bread and pastries. There is also a wide variety of street food on sale for lunchtime visitors who flock to the market.</p>
<p>Borough Market has become a fashionable place to buy food. It has been promoted by British television chefs and has been used as a film set. Notable films with scenes filmed in the streets around the market include: Bridget Jones's Diary, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.</p>

In April 2011 Ducktagnan and I were fortunate enough to go to Thailand. Whilst in Bangkok we meet up with JamieZel a very keen cache who was kind enough to show us around Bangkok at night and find a few caches.
<p>JamieZel has designed a new type of cache container and since I like hiding caches, he gave me some to hide in London.</p>
<p>The National Symbol of Thailand is an elephant so this cache requires you to find two elephants. They took part in the 2010 London elephant parade so they might already be familiar to you. One of these elephant has a sign next to it telling a story about an elephant . Accordingly to the sign this elephant went on a walk in the year abcd and was sold for £ebf pounds.</p>
<p>The cache is to be found at N51 d(c+d).c(e-a)c W 000 fc.e(e-a)(a+d)</p>
The Cache is not located at the published coordinates which is where the two elephants are to be found. Please just obtain the necessary information. The cache is NOT to be found at the Hotel.

<p>It was a time of hope in May of 1841, as twenty-two Christians
sat in the beautiful, newly-built chapel on Buckingham Gate –
full of faith in God for how he would move in that downtrodden and
degraded area. With Westminster Chapel's first minister, Rev Samuel
Martin, at the helm, the church began to make waves in the
neighbourhood. Alms houses and schools were built, orphans were
cared for and work schemes were organised for unemployed men. Rev
Martin's gospel-preaching and Biblical authority made Westminster
Chapel stand out as a light of hope in what was then one of
London's poorest slums - rife with prostitution, squalor and drug
addiction. Even influential leaders of that time like Lord
Shaftesbury and Dean Stanley of Westminster Abbey began to hear of
the Chapel's impact in the area. By 1860, the 500-capacity building
was unable to accommodate a rapidly-burgeoning membership so a new,
1,500-seater building was designed, built and opened in 1864.</p>
The area is not such a slum today!!

<p>Paragon gardens, is a small green area that lays out before the old paragon school which has now been converted into a luxury flat topping the scales at a few million!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In 1872 Chief Inspectorate of Schools described Southwark as 'an educational desert: the people were degraded, the streets dirty and unswept, houses had little or no accomodation, refuse was thrown out of the windows into the streets and teachers were hooted and had refuse hurled at them' .</p>
<p><span style="line-height:1.6;">Most real education was undertaken in Nat.Schools, but the clergy controlled both the religious and educational life of the country, founding schools wherever possible. By 1900, Southwark had 44 such schools. Often parents saw no relevance between the education a child received and real life. . .</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height:1.6;">The Paragon opened 21/03/1900 ,with its head paid £26 per year: there was no hot water &amp; no indoor sanitation. Mr Samuel Robert Goymour was its headmaster from 1900-1925, followed by Oliver Cornelius Foden [ so Frank would have known them both] .The Paragon's School song was: 'We know not what the future years For us may hold But what we can at present store May prove worth more than gold. So as the moments fly - a - long Let's knowledge gain, with effort strong. Paragon tip - top Strive for this without a stop From good to better then to best Are steps to take without a rest . Paragon tip - top, Paragon tip - top'. . . The school badge was a simple, gold 'P', worn on a 'pimple' [cap] or on the breast of a coat. The school enjoyed a good reputation, with good teachers and was turning out boys of a fair standard. . Two of its most popular hymns were 'Lead us heavenly Father lead us' &amp; 'Blessed are the pure in heaven'. School milk existed in third of a pint bottles - probably had to be paid for.</span></p>

</div>
<div class="Section1"><br />
    The Cathedral site was originally known as Bulinga Fen and formed part of the marsh around Westminster. It was reclaimed by the Benedictine monks who were the builders and owners of Westminster Abbey, and subsequently used as a market and fairground.<br />
    After the reformation the land was used in turn as a maze, a pleasure garden and as a ring for bull-baiting but it remained largely waste ground. In the 17th century a part of the land was sold by the Abbey for the construction of a prison which was demolished and replaced by an enlarged prison complex in 1834.<br />
    The site was acquired by the Catholic Church in 1884. T he Cathedral Church of Westminster, which is dedicated to the Most Precious Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ, was designed in the Early Christian Byzantine style by the Victorian architect John Francis Bentley. The foundation stone was laid in 1895 and the fabric of the building was completed eight years later. The awesome interior of the Cathedral, although incomplete, contains fine marble-work and mosaics. The fourteen Stations of the Cross, by the sculptor Eric Gill, are world renowned. .<br />
    In the early 1970s the area bounded on the north by Victoria Street, on the west by Vauxhall Bridge Road and on the east extending to the Army and Navy Stores was comprehensively redeveloped and the Westminster Cathedral Piazza created in front of the Cathedral. The Cathedral suddenly became a highly visible architectural monument in a major public urban setting. .<br />
     The nearest tube stations to Westminster Cathedral are Victoria Station and St. James Park, both within Zone 1 of the London Transport system.
<p>The GPS signal round the cache is poor. I have changed the clue to help cachers. Please note the cache is NOT in the piazza as the cache former name states! I have put up a photograph of the view from the cache site to assit locating the cache.</p>

<h1 align="center">London Invasion</h1>
<h3 align="center">N. 51 30.784 W.000 07.453</h3>
<br />
 ( Kook29 was on holiday in Barcelona in June 2006 and tried to find a cache called Barcelona Invasion by mcruley. It was based around finding SpaceInvaders, usually made from small tiles and stuck on walls etc.Mcruley has kindly gave him his blessing to do a similar type of cache in London. His was very well presented and kook29 was not ashamed to say that he has used a few of his ideas.<br />
The cache is a small plastic container with log only, held by a magnet.<br />
This cache is ok for children if accompanied by an adult. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND DOING IT AFTER DARK. PLEASE READ THE LOGS.<br />
It all started a few years ago when an anonymous person in Paris known as Invader placed these tiled representations of Aliens (based on the 1980s Space Invaders game) in unusual places all over that city and started an idea that Aliens had invaded Earth.<br />
Kook29 did a bit of searching when he got home and found that a small invasion of London had also taken place soon after.
<hr size="8" width="50%" align="center" noshade="noshade" />
These Aliens were of mixed race and colour but, unlike us, they had realised the futility of war long before Earth supported life. They were more "E.T." than "Dalek." Although they took part in our leisure activities and enjoyed our culture they knew it would be wise to make themselves invisible to us. However, they were vain enough to leave enigmatic depictions of themselves for us to ponder over.<br />
Your task is to find the Aliens and use the clues to get to the Alien Base Camp. Signals are poor so I have put hints in the text.<br />
Start at the above co-ordinates. They are for a very busy Underground Station.
<h3>WP1. N. 51 30.797. W. 000 07.452.</h3>
You emerge from the Station and wonder which way to turn? Stand so you can see in all directions and you will see an Alien guarding the street. He is not at all shy. Keep looking as he is sometimes briefly obscured. (Alien killed by humans: you can see his ghostly image on the wooden post.)<br />
Stand behind him and look for the large two digit golden number.<br />
This will = A &amp; B.
<h3>WP2. N. 51 30.824. W. 000 07.489.</h3>
A characteristic of these Aliens, which is the same as Earthlings, is an insatiable desire to buy certain things. This has nothing to do with need and some Earthlings have been know to have hundreds of them. You will realise that this Alien is of course female. She is hiding from her mate who will not understand why she needs more of what this shop and others nearby are selling. Sneak up from another direction and she is clearly visible.<br />
What is the background colour of this orange skinned Alien? Use the colour chart to find the number. (Sadly this old Alien has been vapourised. The colour was green) This will = C.
<h3>WP3. N. 51 30.825. W. 000 07.514.</h3>
The Aliens also took a liking to alcohol so they were very interested in marking this place.(not a pub/bar/restaurant.) Close by is a very appropriately named shop.<br />
Between shop and Alien is a door number. Divide it by the number corresponding to the BACKGROUND colour of the Alien.<br />
This will = D. I think the alien has gone which is susprising as he was high up. The alien's back ground colour was orange.
<h3>WP4. N. 51 30.868. W. 000 07.588.</h3>
<i>This yard is home to a number of vegetarian cafes, new age shops and homeopathic remedy stores, has been the home of alternative medicine, occultism and astrologers since the 17th Century, all of whom were attracted by the sundial and the symbolic star layout of the streets.</i>
<p>The Alien is easy to spot. Which way is he looking? Follow his eyes past the salad bar and answer the question. How many dials? Deduct the number corresponding to the colour of the Alien. The answer will = E.</p>
<h3>WP5. N. 51 30.723. W. 000 07.577.</h3>
<i>On your way you may pass some amazing timepieces. Apparently they are accurate to 10 seconds!</i>
<p>The Aliens liked this place as it showed that Earthlings were also an explorer race. They even found a map showing their home galaxy, Dessipos M1. To show how smart they were they left their usual mark and also printed the co-ordinates on the glass in degrees, minutes, seconds.<br />
What is the second digit of the West seconds (")?<br />
This will = F. The coordinates have disappeared: they were 51 32.42 0 7.28</p>
<p><i>Follow the alley guarded by the Alien to "The Lamb and Flag" if you fancy a pint. If you convert the printed co-ords to decimal minutes you may be surprised to find that they are not the same as the ones I have given you. In fact they differ by about 100m. A bit of Googling will explain. Or not:).</i></p>
<h3>WP6. N. 51 30.876. W. 000 07.866.</h3>
<i>This was formerly Rose Street but has been re-named after Dr Manette, who lived hereabouts in A Tale of Two Cities:<br />
 "In a building at the back, attained by a courtyard where a plane tree rustled its green leaves, church organs claimed to be made,and likewise gold to be beaten by some mysterious giant who had a golden arm starting out of the wall...as if he had beaten himself precious..." The golden arm referred to is now preserved at The Dickens House Museum. However, a modern replica of it can be seen protruding from the wall a little way up on the left, whilst Artists' House, No 10 on the right, is a possible contender for the Manette residence.</i>
<p>This building is a tower of strength! It took TWO Aliens to guard it since one of them was often drunk. In fact he could make you feel drunk if you just caught his eye. What's the number on the black door? = x.<br />
The other Alien at the front of the building has been in a fight.<br />
How many tiles has he lost in the top four line of tiles? = y.<br />
x/y = G.</p>
<hr />
There is currently an exhibtion of Invader's aliens at 8 Greek Street.

<h3>WP7. N. 51 30.903. W. 000 07.973.</h3>
This Alien has just landed and has been sent to replace the ones from St Giles who have both been atomised.<br />
He has been sent to this spot to investigate the "Off-side Rule". Find where he could look for this information. Add the two digits together and deduct the number corresponding to the background colour of this lovely Alien. (18/08/09 Alien atomised. Background was yellow, door number was 25.) This will = H.
<h3>WP8. N. 51 30.855. W. 000 08.066.</h3>
This Alien has chosen this secluded spot to have some little black babies. She is sending a message home to report the happy event. One or two babies have already left the nest but most are still beside her.<br />
How many in the top bunk?<br />
Unfortunately she has now returned home and is I understand sueing for child support from the fathers. However if you look closely you will see a small creature who came to keep her company. The name of letters in the name of this creature less 2 will = J.
<p><i>Read the plaque on the wall further along and you will see why the bar/restaurant/night-club is called Revolution.</i></p>
<h3>WP9. N. 51 30.791. W. 000 08.228.</h3>
Walk along this road of high concrete and glass. You may lose signal but the Alien is easy to spot. Deduct the number of mirror tiles from the number of dark blue tiles on this Alien.<br />
This will = K.
<p><i>The nearby pub is named after the person who realised that people using the water pump were dying of Cholera and those who worked and drank at the brewery were not. Closing down the pump saved hundreds of lives.</i></p>
<h3>WP10. N. 51 30.805. W. 000 08.322</h3>
This Alien is tucked away next to a pub. There's a surprise!<br />
What is his skin colour? This will = L. This alien has galloped off but if you take the number of letters in the name of the pub and divided by two this give L
<h3>WP11. N. 51 30.738. W. 000 07.988.</h3>
You should now be standing next to a Man of Iron sitting on a rainbow. (Recent refurbishment has removed the rainbow, but it makes no difference) The Alien is just across the road but you won't see him. Approach from a different direction. Enter the grounds of the place guarded by this Alien. You are looking for the burial place of:<br />
"The First Metaphysician of his Age."<br />
"Ready to depart....grateful and contented."<br />
Look for the last digit of the year of his birth. Deduct the number of black and white tiles found on the Alien.I believe the Alien may be missing and there were four black and white tiles on the Alien. (NB this place may be closed in the evening, but the answer can be googled using the key phrase in quotes)<br />
This will = M.<br />
<br />
 
<h3>WP12. N. 51 30.593. W. 000 08.071.</h3>
Now we're off to the circus! The co-ordinates are for the centre of this busy place but you don't need to go to the middle. The Alien was on the top step guarding the Alien Fraction used by visiting Aliens to help find Base Camp. Sadly, this Alien got drunk and fell down the steps and disintegrated, so look for 49-319 and go to the nearby steps to find the fraction. There are many of these fractions about so make sure you are at the right place. Use the colour chart and the numerator will tell you the direction to travel. In the denominator the 1st digit minus 1 and corresponding colour tells you the line to take: the 2nd digit tells you how many times you must change trains; the 3rd digit tells you how many stops to your destination. When you arrive leave by Exit 1 ramp.<br />
How many swimmers? This will = N.

WINTER UPDATE: 
This cache should still be accessible during snowy weather.

Nearby, you can visit the London Experience, Southwark Cathedral, the Clink Prison Museum, Vinopolis, the Globe Theatre, Tate Modern, and the Millenium Bridge. You can have excellent food and drink at the nearby Olde Thameside Inn, The Anchor, and other local eating places.

At the cache location is an exact scale, fully operational re-construction of Sir Francis Drake's square-rigged galleon that sailed around the world from 1577 to 1580. 

Please see GCKM3R if you are wondering what happened to the original 'The Golden Hinde' cache. 

Please note that I will be very happy to archive this new cache if the owner of the original cache wishes  to un-archive that one. 

UPDATE: 
I have added a spoiler photo.

LongDescription:
<p>The Queen's Chapel is a chapel in London, that was built between 1623 and 1625 as an external adjunct to St. James's Palace for the Roman Catholic queen, Henrietta Maria.</p>
<p>It was built as a Roman Catholic chapel at a time when the construction of Catholic churches was prohibited in England, and was used by Charles I's Catholic queen Henrietta Maria.</p>
<p>From the 1690s it was used by Continental Protestant courtiers. It was built as an integral part of St James's Palace, but when the adjacent private apartments burned down in 1809 they were not replaced and in 1856-57 Marlborough Road was built between the palace and the Queen's Chapel.<br />
The result is that the chapel now appears to be more part of the Marlborough House complex than of St James's Palace.</p>
<p>It became a Chapel Royal again in 1938.</p>
<p>And so to the cache...<br />
This is a short multi, and the final is just a few moments away, but is in an area that will need a good deal of stealth.</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>

"Restored as a chapel on the marriage of Charles <strong>E</strong> "<br />
"Mary of Moderna worshipped here until <strong>FGHJ</strong> "<br />

<p>Signage within the Cathedral</p>
<p><img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a6/Westminster_cathedral_front.jpg" /></p>
<p>Over 120 different varieties of marble decorate Westminster Cathedral - more than any other building in the UK. They come from 25 countries on 5 continents.</p>
<p>Marble is a non-foliated metamorphic rock composed of recrystallized carbonate minerals, most commonly calcite or dolomite. Geologists use the term "marble" to refer to metamorphosed limestone; however, stonemasons use the term more broadly to encompass unmetamorphosed limestone.</p>
<p>Marble is a rock resulting from metamorphism of sedimentary carbonate rocks, most commonly limestone or dolomite rock. Metamorphism causes variable recrystallization of the original carbonate mineral grains. The resulting marble rock is typically composed of an interlocking mosaic of carbonate crystals. Primary sedimentary textures and structures of the original carbonate rock (protolith) have typically been modified or destroyed. Pure white marble is the result of metamorphism of a very pure (silicate-poor) limestone or dolomite protolith. The characteristic swirls and veins of many colored marble varieties are usually due to various mineral impurities such as clay, silt, sand, iron oxides, or chert which were originally present as grains or layers in the limestone. Green coloration is often due to serpentine resulting from originally high magnesium limestone or dolostone with silica impurities. These various impurities have been mobilized and recrystallized by the intense pressure and heat of the metamorphism.</p>

<p>More info on the Cathedral can be found <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westminster_Cathedral">here</a></p>
<p>To claim this cache you will need to enter the cathedral which is free to enter and open from 0700 to at least 1800 but please try to avoid walking around the Cathedral during services.</p>
<p>You need to email the owner through their profile the answers to the following questions</p>
<p>1 - What is the second line on the inscription inside the Front Door</p>
<p>2 - In the second Chapel on the left what colour is the marble and explain why that is appropriate and what is causing the marble to be that colour.</p>
<p>3 - The Baldacchino over the High Altar is supported by columns of what colour marble and where does it come from. Estimate the width and height of the Baldacchino</p>

Background to the cache:<br />
<br />
In August 2012 I was planning an Earthcache Church Micro. I was a bit cheeky and asked sadexploration whether Church Micro 3000 was available as I knew the series was nearly at this significant milestone. No was the reply but to my surprise Steve said if I could put a good cache out at St Paul's Cathedral I could have CM3000 for that! Wow what an honour I thought and I soon said yes.<br />
<br />
<br />
St Paul's Cathedral, London, is a Church of England cathedral and seat of the Bishop of London. Its dedication to Paul the Apostle dates back to the original church on this site, founded in AD 604. St Paul's sits at the top of Ludgate Hill, the highest point in the City of London, and is the mother church of the Diocese of London. The present church dating from the late 17th century was built to an English Baroque design of Sir Christopher Wren, as part of a major rebuilding program which took place in the city after the Great Fire of London. The task of designing a replacement structure was officially assigned to Sir Christopher Wren on 30 July 1669. He had previously been put in charge of designing over fifty other City churches. During the extensive period of design and rationalisation Wren employed from 1684 Nicholas Hawksmoor as his principal assistant. Concurrent with designing St Paul's. The Cathedral took 32 years to build and was completed within Sir Christopher Wren's lifetime.<br />

The cathedral is one of the most famous and most recognisable sights of London, with its dome, framed by the spires of Wren's City churches, dominating the skyline for 300 years. At 365 feet (111 m) high, it was the tallest building in London from 1710 to 1962, and its dome is also among the highest in the world. In terms of area, St Paul's is the second largest church building in the United Kingdom after Liverpool Cathedral.<br />
St Paul's Cathedral occupies a significant place in the national identity of the English population. It is the central subject of much promotional material, as well as postcard images of the dome standing tall, surrounded by the smoke and fire of the Blitz.<br />

Important services held at St Paul's include the funerals of Lord Nelson, the Duke of Wellington and Sir Winston Churchill; Jubilee celebrations for Queen Victoria; peace services marking the end of the First and Second World Wars; the wedding of Charles, Prince of Wales, and Lady Diana Spencer, the launch of the Festival of Britain and the thanksgiving services for the Golden Jubilee, the 80th Birthday and the Diamond Jubilee of Elizabeth II. St Paul's Cathedral is a busy working church, with hourly prayer and daily services.<br />

It is intended as a short lunchtime cache. So bring your sandwich sit down and grab a container.

As it was muggled twice now I try something new by reducing the size of the container to nano;  

This is a busy area expecially during lunchtime so as with all caches in an urban terrain stealth is required.
Please bring your own pen. 

Auf diesem Wege auch viel Erfolg für meine deutschen Besucher.

Congratulations to robinsurrey and Niranjan for the FTF only an

<h3>About SideTracked - London Bridge</h3>
<br />
The station was opened near London Bridge on 14 December 1836 south of the River Thames, making it the first and oldest of the current London railway termini.<br />
<br />

<strong>A picture of London Bridge Station in 1922</strong></center>
<br />
Over the years it has been rebuilt and expanded repeatedly, and is currently (Dec 2014) undergoing a major transformation as part of a wider project known as “Masterplan” to accommodate longer 12-car Thameslink programme trains and provide many other benefits. Three terminus platforms are being closed and three new through-platforms created to allow additional services to continue either to Cannon Street or Charing Cross, or to Blackfriars and onwards via the Thameslink route. Work started in 2013 and is expected to be completed in 2018.<br />
<br />
It is now a combined National Rail and London Underground station. In terms of passenger arrivals and departures it is the fourth-busiest station in London as well as the United Kingdom as a whole, handling over 54 million customers a year (these statistics do not include the many commuters who transfer between lines at the station).<br />

<h3>A Traveller's Earthcache</h3>
<br />
Just outside one of the entrances to the station, across the road you will find a pair of blocks of stone:<br />
<br />
<strong>The London Bridge Coping Stones</strong><br />
<br />
These two granite slabs are coping stones from the former London Bridge designed by John Rennie. The bridge was opened on 1 August 1831 and featured in many films and books including those of Charles Dickens. In 1967 when the newer (current) London Bridge was going to be built, the Common Council of the City of London placed the older London Bridge on the market and began to look for potential buyers. It was sold and dismantled later in 1967 and re-erected in Lake Havasu, Arizona, USA.<br />
<br />

<strong>The London Bridge Coping Stones</strong></center>
<br />
These two pieces of the older bridge were discovered when the foundations for the Southwark Needle were being dug so they were erected as seats as part of the Southwark Gateway project. There is a plaque attached to the horizontal surface of one of them.<br />
<br />
<strong>Granite</strong><br />
<br />
The bridge was constructed from Haytor granite, mined at Swelltor Quarry on Dartmoor, Devon.<br />
<br />
<center><img src="http://d1u1p2xjjiahg3.cloudfront.net/f6c5ad7b-af59-47de-93ec-631ae46cc105_l.jpg" width="500" /><br />
<strong>The larger eastern outcrop of Haytor</strong></center>
<br />
Granite originates 300 million years ago in the Carboniferous Period, a time of active mountain-building as the supercontinent Pangaea came together. This example is considered a “coarse-grained granite”, due to the large size of the crystalline structure of the stone.<br />
<br />
Granite is an “igneous” rock, formed from molten magma. As the magma cools and solidifies, a type of rock called igneous rock forms containing randomly arranged interlocking crystals. The size of the crystals depends on how quickly the molten magma solidified. The more slowly the magma cools, the bigger the crystals. If the magma cools quickly, small crystals form in the rock. This can happen if the magma erupts from a volcano. Obsidian and basalt are examples of this type of rock. If the magma cools slowly, large crystals form in the rock. This can happen if the magma cools deep underground. Granite is an example of this type of rock, but can look slightly different depending on its chemical composition and how quickly it cools.<br />
<br />

<strong>Examples of various types of Granite</strong></center>
<br />
Unlike sedimentary rocks, igneous rocks do not contain any fossils. This is because any fossils in the original rock will have melted when the magma formed.<br />
<br />
The word "granite" comes from the Latin “granum”, grain, in reference to the structure of such a holocrystalline rock. Granite mainly consists of lighter coloured feldspar and quartz, with smaller amounts of darker mica and amphibole minerals. These form an interlocking somewhat equigranular matrix of feldspar and quartz with scattered darker biotite mica and amphibole peppering the lighter color minerals. This is clearly visible in the stone these slabs are made of.<br />
<br />
Granite is nearly always massive (lacking any internal structures), hard and tough, and therefore it has gained widespread use throughout humanity as a construction stone. The average density of granite is between 2.65 and 2.75 g/cm3, with a melting temperature of 1215–1260 °C.<br />

     This is another of my caches commemorating Westminster bucolic past (see also " Where are all the apples?" GC1JYMY marking the long gone orchards of Westminster Abbey)
<p>Although this street has iron gates at either end to prevent vehicles from entering, the buildings along it are unremarkable consisting of rear elevations to blocks of flats and offices, this street hides a secret.</p>
<p>About three to four feet below your feet encased in brick flows the River Tyburn, one of the long lost rivers of London. About six hundred years ago, a pleasant stream flowed here leading to a pond which had fishes in it.</p>
<p>King's Scholars from the Westminster School used to swim and fish here. So the pond was called King's Scholars Pond and the path to the pond was called King's Scholars Passage.</p>
<p>Over the years the area became built up and the stream became a sewer. Eventually the stream was culverted in 1840 and there is now no sign of what must have been a pleasant spot. However I have noticed if you walk along the street you can sometimes catch a whiff of the air from the sewer.</p>
<p>I sometimes feel that may be there should be a campaign to free the lost rivers of London so that once again the Tyburn, the Fleet and the Westbourne to name just a few could flow again in the open air cooling the over heated streets of London.</p>
<p>Still the river has not given up with out a fight . According to http://www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/downloads/victoria-Environmental-Statement-Main-Report.pdf TFL plans for the upgrade of Victoria Station noted that the existence of the Kings Scholar Passage sewer was a “ significant constraints to further sub-surface development..” It a shame that they not think of more imaginative schemes and tried to free the river!</p>

When the river reaches a lake or the sea, its load of transported rocks settles to the bottom. We say that the rocks are deposited. The deposited rocks build up in layers, called sediments. This process is called sedimentation.</span></span></p>

ShortDescription:
Whilst other visitors are admiring the dome and the beautiful facia of the cathedral designed by Sir Christopher Wren, take a moment to examine the steps that lead up to the main entrance. The polished flagstones that can be found at the top of the first flight of steps leading up to the main thoroughfare contain......?

Hints:
Mind your step!  You are looking for fossils in the red flagstones that are at the top of the first set of steps NOT the flagstones by the columns outside the main door.

<div class="Section1">Those of who who have completed or even just attempted London Invasion GCYCDM will know how much fun alien hunting can be.<br />
<p>Unfortunately six of the Aliens have returned home to Dessipos M1 but I have been in touch with their home world and set up a means of encountering them again in cyberspace. The mission was go to the places where those aliens once lived and to find small squares of black plastic. On the back of each square you there is a two dimensional code bar code which looks a bit like our favourite alien. The code gives the URL of where you can find a photograph of the missing alien.<br /></p>
<p>The last numbers of each URL were to be used to find the final cache. You will also meet a new alien who did not feature in London Invasion.</p>
<p>The way points for the missing aliens are in the same places as the original aliens so if you have already completed London Invasion you will already be familiar with the Locations and if you have not found London Invasion you can do do both caches at the same time though the final locations with the actual caches are in different places.</p>
<p>If you look at the related web page you will see a video of Space Invader himself discussing QR codes.</p>
<p>Please keep the URLs and the codes secrect. If you have any pictures of our six missing aliens please email them to me so that I have spare pictures to use if the URLS I am using for this cache stop working.</p>
<hr />
Unfortunately 5 of the six QR codes were too close to existing caches so in the case of WP2, WP7, WP8. WP10 and WP12 you will have to visit the locations and answer a question about the location to be able to find the actual cache but there are QR codes at these locations which will enable you to view the lost aliens on the Internet
<hr />
Start at the above co-ordinates. They are for a very busy Underground Station.
<hr />
<h3>WP1. POST N. 51 30.797. W. 000 07.452.</h3>
You emerge from the Station and wonder which way to turn? Stand so you can see in all directions and you would have seen an Alien guarding the street.. (Alien killed by humans: you can see his ghostly image on the wooden post.)If you look at the post facing South the QR code is hidden under the metal grill to the left. The last two number of the decoded URL will = A &amp; B. I have put up the QR Code for Post in the Gallery as it seems to have been muggled.
<hr />
<h3>WP2. SHOES N. 51 30.824. W. 000 07.489.</h3>
A characteristic of these Aliens, which is the same as Earthlings, is an insatiable desire to buy certain things. This has nothing to do with need and some Earthlings have been know to have hundreds of them. You will realise that this Alien is of course female. She is hiding from her mate who will not understand why she needs more of what this shop and others nearby are selling. She is so well hidden that she is no longer visible. You need to walk a few steps North and then turn towards Nottingham Court. On the East Wall of Nottingham Court, there is a telephone number 020 7X746X1X/C. The last number is "C" There is a QR Code is hidden in Nottingham Court between two drain pipes on the left side facing South.
<hr />
<h3>WP7. OFF-SIDE N. 51 30.903. W. 000 07.973.</h3>
This Alien was sent to replace the ones from St Giles who have both been atomised.
<p>He has been sent to this spot to investigate the "Off-side Rule". (18/08/09 Alien atomised.The alien was above a road sign and there is a post close to wall where the Alien was. There is a letter and a number on the post "SX" X="D" There is a QR Code hidden at the back of a Street Sign for a well known square about 30 ft to the East.</p>
<hr />
<h3>WP8. BABIES N. 51 30.855. W. 000 08.066.</h3>
This Alien had chosen this secluded spot to have some little black babies. She is sending a message home to report the happy event.Unfortunately she has now returned home and is I understand sueing for child support from the fathers.Thre is a house close by named after an object held by Poseidon The humber of this house is 1E. There is a QR code is hidden on a drain pipe by the entrance to the studio.
<p><i>Read the plaque on the wall further along and you will see why the bar/restaurant/night-club is called Revolution.</i></p>
<hr />
<h3>WP9B. BREAD N. 51 30.864. W. 000 08.085.</h3>
This large alien was not in the London Invasion Cache so I felt he should be included in this cache. What is the colour of this alien's body? Use the chart below to find F.
<hr />
<h3>WP10. HORSE N. 51 30.805. W. 000 08.322</h3>
This Alien was tucked away next to a pub. There's a surprise!This alien has galloped off. There is a lampost with a sign on it threatening to damage bicycles . There is a number on the post X. X equals G The QR code was hidden on this lamp post.Unfortunately the QR code I hid for this way point on the lampost has been muggled so I have hidden a replacement way point behind a drain pipe by No 1 Newburgh Street.<br />
<hr />
<h3>WP12. CIRCUS N. 51 30.593. W. 000 08.071.</h3>
Now we're off to the circus! The co-ordinates are for the centre of this busy place but you don't need to go to the middle. The Alien was on the top step guarding the Alien Fraction used by visiting Aliens to help find Base Camp.There is a railing with brass knobs on it close by with some black metal boxes . One of the boxes is labelled "FPX" X will give you "H" There is a QR code is hidden on these railings close to the black metal box labelled "FPX".
<p>Sadly, this Alien got drunk and fell down the steps and disintegrated, so look for 49-319 and go to the nearby steps to find the fraction.</p>
<p>There are many of these fractions about so make sure you are at the right place. Use the colour chart and the numerator plus 4 will tell you the direction to travel. In the denominator the 1st digit minus 1 and corresponding colour tells you the line to take: the 2nd digit tells you how many times you must change trains; the 3rd digit plus one tells you how many stops to your destination.</p>
<hr />
You will need to have a travel card or buy a ticket to travel on the tube and be warned the trains do not run all night! Please check the TFL web site to find out when the trains are running. When you arrive ascend the first set of escalator . At the bottom of the second set of escalators there is a fraction. The numerator is I. This fraction appears at on both sides of these second escalators on both sides and in another four places round the hall at the bottom of the escalators.
<p>Ascend to the surface and have a cup of coffee or tea as you work out the location of the cache.</p>

<p>Farringdon St. and the Fleet Prison c. 1820's</p>

<p><strong>This Cache:</strong> On this site stood the notorious Fleet Prison by the side of Fleet River after which it was named. The prison was built in 1197 and was in use until 1844.</p>

<p>It came into particular prominence as a place of reception for persons committed by the Star Chamber, set up to ensure the fair enforcement of laws against prominent people, those so powerful that ordinary courts could never convict them of their crimes. In 1666 during the Great Fire of London, it was burned down on the third day of the fire, the prisoners fleeing at the last moments. During the 18th century, Fleet Prison was mainly used for debtors and bankrupts. It usually contained about 300 prisoners and their families. Prisoners had to pay for food and lodging. There were fees for turning keys and for taking leg irons off, and Fleet Prison had the highest fees in England. A grill was built into the Farringdon Street wall, so that prisoners could beg for alms form passers-by.</p>

<p>But prisoners did not necessarily have to live within Fleet Prison itself; as long as they paid the keeper to compensate him for loss of earnings, they could take lodgings within a particular area outside the prison walls called the "Liberty of the Fleet" or the "Rules of the Fleet".</p>

<p>From 1613 on, there were also many clandestine 'Fleet Marriages' performed here. As a prison, the Fleet was claimed to be outside the jurisdiction of the church. The prison warders took a share of the profit, even though a statute of 1711 imposed fines upon them for doing so: it only moved the clandestine marriage trade outside the prison. There were, in fact, so many debtors that many lived in the area outside the prison (itself a lawless area which operated under the "rules of the Fleet"). Disgraced clergymen (and many who pretended to be clergymen) lived there, and marriage houses or taverns carried on the trade, encouraged by local tavern-keepers in the neighbourhood who employed touts to solicit custom for them. There were also many clerks who made money recording the ceremonies.</p>

<p>During the 1740s up to 6,000 marriages a year were taking place in the Fleet area, compared with 47,000 in England as a whole. One estimate suggests that there were between 70 and 100 clergymen working in the Fleet area between 1700 and 1753. It was not merely a marriage centre for the criminals and poor, however: both rich and poor availed themselves of the opportunity to marry quickly or in secret.</p>

<p>The head of the prison was termed the warden, who was appointed by Letters patent. It became a frequent practice of the holder of the patent to farm out the prison to the highest bidder. This custom made the prison long notorious for the cruelties inflicted on prisoners. One purchaser of the office, Thomas Bambridge, who became warden in 1728, was of particularly evil repute. He was guilty of the greatest extortions upon prisoners, and, according to a committee of the House of Commons appointed to inquire into the state of English gaols, arbitrarily and unlawfully loaded with irons, put into dungeons, and destroyed prisoners for debt, treating them in the most barbarous and cruel manner, in high violation and contempt of the laws. He was committed to Newgate Prison, and an act was passed to prevent his enjoying the office of warden.&lt;/&gt;</p>

<p>A barbaric place indeed. The prison was sold to the City of London in 1844, by whom it was pulled own in 1846.</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> Follow the gradient down towards the river. You will notice that the road widens significantly here, mirroring the River Fleet which used to be navigable up to King's Cross. History echoes through time in the road names here. Old Seacoal Lane is the first on your left, so named because it was the site of a jetty where coal sailed down from Newcastle used to be unloaded. Old Fleet Lane is where stone was unloaded to build the first stone St.Paul's Cathedral in the 12th century (the current St. Paul's is the fifth to stand on the site since AD 604). Go down over the crossroads at Ludgate Hill. This used to be a notoriously dangerous crossing of the River Fleet with steep sides that were treacherous to cross. A wooden bridge used to lead to the other side which is now the famous Fleet Street of newspaper production fame. This used to be the main routes out of the walled City of London, through Lud Gate one of the main gates of the city, to the palace at Westminster. On the other side the road widens further still. Look to your right and see St.Brides Church one block back. If you look down one of the side roads you will see the original height of the land on the other side of the river, St. Brides Church stands on the level ground some height above where you stand. On the right hand side, the building with the black window railings used to be the Bridewell Palace (coords N 51 30.772 W 0 06.257). Later converted into a women's prison in 1556. There is an information board there.</p>

A bridge has existed at or near the present site since the Roman occupation nearly 2000 years ago. In more recent times the famous bridge was replaced by a stone arch structure designed by engineer John Rennie which opened in 1831.<br />

<br />
In 1967 the City of London famously placed the bridge on the market and began to look for potential buyers. Rennie's bridge was sold to the Missourian entrepreneur Robert McCulloch for a reported US$2.5M - the infamous claim that McCulloch believed mistakenly that he was buying the more impressive Tower Bridge was denied, however many still believe this was the case.<br />

<br />
The old bridge was reconstructed at Lake Havasu City, Arizona, USA and has since become Arizona's second-biggest tourist attraction, after the Grand Canyon.<br />
<br />
The current London Bridge was designed by Mott, Hay and Anderson and was constructed from 1967 to 1972 and opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 1973.<br />

It is made of aluminium yacht masts with stainless steel rigging support coloured plastic, glass-reinforced flat disks, illuminated at night by neon tubes. It was intended to break up the wind tunnel effect of the surrounding buildings, The idea was that you could walk though it but this is discouraged by compromised by the addition of unsympathetic paving possibly to stop people doing naughty things to the sculpture such as placing caches on it! However you can walk though it,enjoy the design and find the cache.

LongDescription:
<p>St James's Church, Piccadilly, also known as St James's Church, Westminster and as St James-in-the-Fields, is an Anglican church on Piccadilly, London</p>
<p>In 1662, Henry Jermyn, 1st Earl of St Albans, was granted land for residential development on what was then the outskirts of London.<br />
He set aside land for the building of a parish church and churchyard on the south side of what is now Piccadilly.</p>
<p>In 1685 the parish of St James was created for the church.</p>
<p>St James’s suffered in the blitz, and was left a burnt-out ruin and open to the elements. It remained a roofless shell for nearly seven years. In 1941, services resumed after a temporary roof was constructed over parts of the south aisle.</p>
<p>Some artifacts were protected before the raid, including the marble font, and alter carvings.</p>
<p>And so to the cache...<br />
This is a short multi, and the final is just a few moments away, but is in an area that will need a good deal of stealth.</p>
<p>To find the cache you need some numbers<br />
There are along the wall outside the church how many water features <strong>A</strong> inlaid in the wall. On the fountain closest to the church gates, is an inscription to a Ms Rosetta, which month = <strong>B</strong><br />
Also, how many white panels with wording on <strong>C</strong><br />
And a red information sign...</p>
<p>" Consecrated... <strong>DEFG</strong> "</p>
<p>So the coords for the final are<br />
<strong>N51 (C+D) (G-C-A) . (B-A) (F-B) (E-C)<br />
W000 (B-D-E) (A+E) . (A/C) (D+E) (G)</strong></p>

<p>Approximately 145 million years ago the land mass which forms
the United Kingdom was located much further south. The area was at
the bottom of a shallow warm sea filled with living creatures .As
the sea water heated up in the sunshine, it released a gas. The gas
reacted with positive ions in the water to form a salt.</p>
<p>The salt precipitated out of the and fell to the bottom of the
sea Over millions of years the precipitate continued to fell to the
sea floor in layers and formed a rock. This is how sedimentary
rocks form. This type of rock is called limestone.</p>
<p>As time past different conditions and objects felling to the sea
floor resulted in differences between the layers of rock laid down.
The creatures living in the sea died and their remains fell to the
sea floor and the rock formed around them In the rock you are
looking at after a while the remains of the creatures dissolved
leaving holes in the rock. If you look at the rock you will see
hollows whose shape is an impressions of the creatures. The voids
are a type of fossil.</p>
<p>After many years the rocks moved north due to continental drift
and were up lifted to form an island just off the South Coast of
England Several layers of the rock from this area makes a good
building stone and were used all over London.</p>
<p>To log the cache you will have to answer four questions:-</p>
<p>1) Name the type of stone</p>
<p>2) Give me the name given by stone masons to the fossil found in
this rock</p>
<p>3)Give me one of the Latin or scientific names of the fossil,
there are two.</p>
<p>4) Describe the fossils .</p>
<p>To claim this earthcache as a find please post a photo of the
location (preferably you with your GPS - with your hand pointing to
one of these fossils- or just your GPS at the location) and send me
an email with the answers, your caching name (eg Loony Londo) and
your email address through my profile.</p>
<p>As soon as you receive my confirmation, you can log this cache
as a find and upload your picture. Please do not reveal the answers
in your log!</p>
<p>Good fossil hunting!</p>
<p>I try to reply to all emails sending me answers within 48
hours.Unfortunately sometimes emails sent by geocaching.com do not
arrive. So if you have not heard from me in reply to your email
with in 72 hours please feel free to send me another email.</p>

ShortDescription:
At the cache site there is a large slab of rock with a red box on
top of it. You will need to look at it closely. The stone is from
the Tithonian period which is the latest age of the Late Jurassic
epoch or the uppermost stage of the Upper Jurassic series. It has
fossils in it!

Hints:
Hint 1. This  type of  rock also forms in your kettle!


Hint 2. you can find similar land dwelling creatures in your garden today though gardeners do not like  them.Still I think they are cute.

Hint 3. The name of the  cache gives a  clue to the answer to question  2

<p>Lincoln's Inn Fields is the largest public square in London. It takes its name from the adjacent Lincoln's Inn, one of the Inns of Court where barristers have their chambers. The private gardens of Lincoln's Inn are separated from the Fields by a perimeter wall and a large gatehouse. Lincoln's Inn Fields was laid out in the 1630s under the initiative of the speculative builder and contractor William Newton.</p>
<p>There are a number of notable buildings around the Fields. On the north side of the square, is Sir John Soane's Museum, home of the architect. On the south side of the square you will find the Royal College of Surgeons (including the Hunterian Museum exhibiting the intriguing medical collections of John Hunter). There is a blue plaque marking the home of the surgeon William Marsden at number 65. On the west side, the London School of Economics and Political Science owns 50 Lincoln's Inn Fields and a number of other buildings. There is a statue by Barry Flanagan, an abstract called Camdonian, in the North East corner of the square. </p>
<p>The grassed area in the centre of the Fields contains a court for tennis and netball and a bandstand. Cricket and other sports are thought to have been played here in the 18th century.</p>

I thought there were not too many "lunch time caches" in Soho so I planted one :)<br />
<br />
<br />
Happy caching!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
A site in Soho, Central London, that has been largely undeveloped since it was bombed in the Blitz is to be turned into a luxury £90 million hotel, with housing, by Firmdale Hotels, the boutique hotel operator.<br />
I recently came across this site showing bombsites from WW2 and Ham Yard site is covered http://bombsight.org/bombs/14251/<br />
Firmdale Hotels owned by Tim Kemp and his wife Kit, announced that it has acquired the site — Ham Yard, a three quarters of an acre freehold site just off Regent Street, for £30 million.<br />
It plans to spend up to £60 million building a 100-room hotel plus 50,000 sq ft of housing, a third of it affordable accommodation.<br />
The couple, opened Firmdale’s first property in New York SoHo. Mr Kemp, who founded the company 25 years ago, said that the new hotel would become the group’s flagship. He said that it would be “slightly different in style” to the group’s nearby Soho Hotel, adding: “They shouldn’t compete. It will be more luxurious and have more facilities.”<br />
Subject to planning approval, work on the Ham Yard site is expected to start in 2010. It was put up for sale through Allsop and Fleurets, the agents, after liquidation proceedings were started against Windmill Developments, the site’s Gibraltar-registered owner.<br />
The agents were appointed by Bank Leumi, of Israel, which had provided finance to Windmill and now is seeking to recover its money.<br />
In June, Ross Mansoori-Dara, one of the founders of City Lofts, the luxury apartment developer that failed last year, was rumoured to have won the bidding for Ham Yard. He is thought to have pulled out at the eleventh hour over financing issues, opening the door to Firmdale.<br />
The acquisition of the site comes as the Kemps are putting the finishing touches to Firmdale’s first hotel outside London. The Crosby Street Hotel, in the SoHo district of New York, after completion of an $80 million (£49 million) project. The 86-room property has a garden, gym, bar and restaurant.<br />
Mr Kemp said that the owner of the freehold had another site in the Midtown district of New York, where Firmdale hoped to develop a second hotel. Mr Kemp said that he was seeking an equity partner to fund the Midtown project, and perhaps another three hotels in New York.<br />
Firmdale, which has a turnover of about £75 million, had also been in negotiations over a site in Mayfair, Central London, but Mr Kemp said this had fallen through and he had started a new search for a site in the area.<br />

<p><font size="3"><b>Romans:</b> <font size="2">St Andrew’s first appears in written records in AD 951 as a church on top of the hill above the river Fleet. However, when the crypt was excavated in AD 2002 Roman pottery was discovered, which indicates that the site has been in use for a much longer period.</font></font></p>
<p><font size="3"><font size="3"><b>13th Century:</b> <font size="2">The name of the site changed during the Early Middle Ages, from St Andrew Holburnestrate to St Andrew de Holeburn. There is also a medieval spring in the crypt, which emanates from the river Fleet (though it is not generally open to the public).</font></font></font></p>
<p><font size="3"><font size="3"><font size="2">In 1348 a local armourer called John Thavie “left a considerable Estate towards the support of the fabric forever”. It is his legacy, preserved during the Reformation, invested carefully through the centuries, that provides for the upkeep of the church today.</font></font></font></p>
<p><font size="3"><font size="3"><font size="2">The wooden church was replaced by a medieval stone one in the 15th Century, of which only the tower now remains. From outside the tower looks like it was built by Wren, but inside you can see the medieval masonry.</font></font></font></p>
<p><font size="3"><font size="3"><font size="3"><b>Wren and Beyond:</b> <font size="2">In 1666 the great fire ravaged London, but the medieval church of St Andrew’s was only saved at the last minute by a change in the wind direction.</font></font></font></font></p>
<p><font size="3"><font size="3"><font size="3"><font size="2">However, as it was already in a bad state of repair, Christopher Wren rebuilt the church anyway.</font></font></font></font></p>
<p><font size="3"><font size="3"><font size="3"><font size="2">He rebuilt from the foundations, making the crypt that still exists beneath the church today, and clad the tower in marble. It is his largest parish church.</font></font></font></font></p>
<p><font size="3"><font size="3"><font size="3"><font size="2">The church is the resting place of the body of Thomas Coram, who founded the Foundlings’ Hospital in 1741, now called the Coram Family (www.coram.org). The first hospital was set up in a house in nearby Hatton Garden.</font></font></font></font></p>
<p><font size="3"><font size="3"><font size="3"><font size="2">The organ casing at the west end is also from the Foundlings’ Hospital Chapel, along with the pulpit and the font. These were previously at the hospital's large premises in Bloomsbury, where the composer George Fredrick Handel would have played for his fundraising concerts. The Coram Family still owns a copy of his most famous work ‘The Messiah’.</font></font></font></font></p>
<p><font size="3"><font size="3"><font size="3"><font size="2">The church was also the founding place of the Royal Free Hospital. On the church steps in 1827 William Marsden found a dying woman. He was inspired to set up a hospital in Greville Street for the poor and destitute, later it moved to Gray’s Inn Road. The hospital is now based in Hampstead.</font></font></font></font></p>
<p><font size="3"><font size="3"><font size="3"><font size="3"><b>The Cache:</b> <font size="2">Above the Main entrance a blue-clad lady is offering you a date. Work out what she means: abcd</font></font></font></font></font></p>

<p>HOWEVER - the blue-clad lady is currently having a brief holiday in a box.  While she is away please venture a little way south down St Andrew Street where you will see a green wooden gate.  On the left had side gatepost you will see a yellow sign with a black letter H.   Above the H there are 3 numbers, call them W, X and Y below the H is one number - which we shall call Z.  The cache can be found at:</p>

<p><font size="3"><font size="3"><font size="3"><font size="3"><font size="2">I consider this cache as being wheelchair accessible both at the clue point and the final hide and the short journey between. When replacing the cache, please tuck it a fair way back behind the thing it is stuck to. This will make it less visible to passers-by.</font></font></font></font></font></p>
<p><font size="3"><font size="3"><font size="3"><font size="3"><font size="2">Thanks to the church authorities for the interest in helping with the placing of the cache within the church area but on reflection, as the the grounds are locked at 1700 each day we decided to place it away from the church to enable 24-hour access to the cache.</font></font></font></font></font></p>

LongDescription:
<p>Catrin was the youngest daughter of Welsh hero Owain Glyndwr (Owen Glendower in Shakespeare's Henry IV), who was leading the fight for Welsh independence from the English in the Welsh Revolt of 1400-1415, and was the last native Welshman to hold the title 'Prince of Wales'</p>
<p>Catrin was captured with her children and mother at Harlech Castle in 1409 by the army of Henry IV and held prisoner in the Tower of London as political hostages. Catrin and two of her children died in unknown circumstances in the Tower in December 1413 following the accession of Henry V in March of that year and were buried together here in the graveyard of St. Swithin's church.</p>
<p>The church was destroyed during the Great Fire of London and after being rebuilt, was damaged again during the blitz of WWII before finally being demolished in 1962. Today, the site is accessible to the public and is surrounded by tower blocks.</p>
<p>The memorial was unveiled on Sunday, 16th September 2001.</p>
<p>The monument is made from Gelligaer bluestone and suggests two figures, a mother protecting her child. It was designed by Pontypridd artist Nic Stradling-John and sculpted by Richard Renshaw of Cwmdu.</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>

<p>Victoria Square is a real gem close to Victora Station. It is a small residential square located to the west of Buckingham Palace, between Lower Grosvenor Place, Beeston Place, Grosvenor Gardens, and Buckingham Palace Road. It is on land forming part of the Grosvenor Estate. Cachers who fantasy is that they are spies making a dead letter drop will love this one. No 16 was the home of Ian Flemming where he wrote the books about 007's exploits. Ian Fleming lived there from 1953 untill his death in 1964 . If you look very carefully you might see James Bond paying a visit to the square to show his respects to his creator!</p>
<p>The square comprises about 25 residential houses, which are all Grade 2* listed as being of special historic interest. These are five-storey stucco-fronted properties designed by the architect William Wyatt constructed in the late 1830s to celebrate the beginning of Queen Victoria's reign. The central square was recently renovated after residents contributed to a six figure sum towards the project. A statue of the young Queen Victoria was specially commissioned and has been placed there. Former other residents include,former Conservative MP Michael Portillo.</p>
<p>The cache is inside Victoria Square but you can retrieve it with out entering the square. The cache contains just a log book .</p>
<p>Before moving here Ian Fleming lived in Ebury Street and there is a cache GC1ZMC2 007 You only live twice! by bevroutley which I have adopted marking the Blue Plaque commemorating Ian Fleming at that location.</p>

LongDescription:
<p>Smithfield Market is located in central London close to St Paul’s Cathedral and St Bartholomew’s Hospital. The covered meat market buildings date from the middle of the 19<sup>th</sup> Century and were designed by architect Horace Jones, who also designed Tower Bridge. He also designed Billingsgate and Leadenhall markets. There has been a meat market in the area since medieval times. The area has been under threat of redevelopment and even demolition in recent years, although some of the buildings are now listed. The area is well worth exploring.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The coordinates take you to a street corner, and you should be able to see a prominent stone plaque above your head. This commemorates the opening of the Fish Market building in 1888. Much of the fish market building is red brick, although this is badly weathered in places. At GZ you should be able to see three different types of stone:</p>
<ul>
<li>Rough granite just above pavement level.</li>
<li>Polished stone between waist and head height</li>
<li>Stone pilasters above, which are cream in colour</li>
</ul>
<p>The polished stone is granite, a hard igneous rock. Granite is made up of crystals of three main minerals: quartz, which is colourless or grey, feldspar which is usually pink (orthoclase) or white (plagioclase) and mica which can be silvery grey (muscovite) or black (biotite). Granite it very resistant to weathering and erosion.</p>
<p>Look at the polished stone. It has some very large crystals set within a matrix of smaller crystals.  These are called phenocrysts. Granite, and other igneous rocks often also contain xenoliths. These are pieces of ‘foreign rock’. You may be able to spot one of these if you look carefully. They form when rocks surrounding a magma chamber underground fall into the magma, but don’t fully melt away. Answer the following questions using your observations and the information in the description:</p>
<p> </p>
<ol>
<li>Find the largest phenocryst you can and measure its length and width.</li>
<li>Describe the shape of the phenocryst you measured. Does it have a regular crystal shape or is it just an irregular mass?</li>
<li>Which mineral are the phenocrysts made of do you think?</li>
<li>Granite solidified underground from molten magma, and crystals grow as the magma cools. Do you think the magma that formed this granite cooled quickly or slowly?</li>
<li>Lastly, the stone used for the cream coloured pilasters is a sedimentary rock. Have a guess at the type of sedimentary rock (hint: it’s used extensively at St Paul’s).</li>
</ol>
<p> </p>
<p>Please email your answers using the email in my public profile, then you can log your find immediately.</p>
<p>Please feel free to upload a photo of you / your GPSr at the site, but this is not a requirement. No close-up photos of the phenocrysts please.</p>

You will see a phenomenon usally associated with cold dark places deep underground. To claim this as a find you will have to carry out the following tasks and email me the answers to me at my geocaching address.<br />
1) Give the name usually given to these objects?<br />
2) Describe the objects?<br />
3) Explain how they are formed?<br />
4) Estimate how long the longest object is?<br />
5) Given that the growth rate for these objects is 0.1 to 0.2 milimetres a year when they are underground, how long do you think they have been growing there? Does this seem likely or does this suggest these objects are at a growing faster rate.<br />
6) What would you normally expect to find hidden out of sight below each of these objects?<br />

Bring a pen/pencil.</b> There has been a Charity Animal Hospital on this site since Our Dumb Friends League opened its doors on 15th May 1906. Making it the oldest Animal Hospital in the World. In 1912 the league started ‘The Blue Cross Fund’ to proved pivotal supplies and veterinary treatment for animals on the battle fields of WW1 and WW2. The Blue Cross became more of a household name in regard to the charity, so in 1950 Our Dumb Friends League officially changed its name to The Blue Cross. In 2001 the old hospital was knocked down and a new building built with state-of-the-art facilities. Providing care and treatment for the animals owned by Londons' poor. This is a HI MUGGLE AREA, stealth is required at most times of the day and night. Due to complaints about people going into the mews. I have moved the cache slightly more onto the face of the Blue Cross building. This is my first cache, I hope you like it. Keep an eye out cause there’s a few cachers who work in the hospital, including me! If we spot you we may come out and say hi.

This was the first studio in the UK to use Dolby noise reduction, and employ an eight-track reel to reel recording deck. Whereas other studios might spend months testing a new device, the Sheffield brothers believed that if it had been manufactured in the first place, then it was good enough for studio use.<br />
While Abbey Road still only used four-track, Trident's Ampex eight-track machine drew The Beatles on 31 July 1968 to record "Hey Jude" (although Abbey Road had taken delivery of a 3M eight-track machine it was not suitable for over-dubbing and had to be modified before use). The White Album tracks "Dear Prudence", "Honey Pie", "Savoy Truffle" and "Martha My Dear" were also recorded there. On 22 February 1969, The Beatles first recorded "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" for the album Abbey Road. John Lennon and Yoko Ono later returned with The Plastic Ono Band to record "Cold Turkey" featuring Eric Clapton on lead guitar. Many Apple Records artists used Trident Studios, including Billy Preston, Mary Hopkin, and James Taylor. Some of George Harrison's triple album, All Things Must Pass, containing the hit "My Sweet Lord", and Ringo Starr's "It Don't Come Easy", were also recorded there. Harry Nilsson recorded "Without You" at Trident, and portions of several of his 1970s albums. Other artists who were sent from Apple Records to Trident, considering the limitation of the Apple studios at the time, were Harry Nilsson, Billy Preston, Mary Hopkin and James Taylor, as well as the four members of the Beatles for their solo projects. Apparently, it was during these days that Paul McCartney decided to support a new promising band called Queen by letting them use the booked hours at the studio that he was intentionally not using.

Hints: The hint is in the title.
LongDescription:
At the coordinates; to retrieve the cache you will have to ask yourself ‘Where would it be fun to hide a micro cache’? 
Stealth of the highest order is required when retrieving the cache during the working week. Weekends, it’s entirely a different story as you can relax because you’re likely to be alone. 

Please, no spoiler pictures to be posted or loose talk of the precise location of the cache. Have fun!

ShortDescription:
I couldn’t resist hiding a micro cache at this location in the back streets of London at Gray’s Inn.

Hints: By the lightning conductor. Fake rock.
LongDescription:
St Etheldreda's church was built around 1250 as a "double-decker" church ie one chapel on top of the other. It is a very interesting building which by some miracle ( . .?) has survived the Great fire of London, the Reformation (Henry VIII), a direct hit from a bomb in the Blitz of the Second World War and every other threat to its existence. It is the oldest Roman Catholic church in the country and one of only two surviving buildings from the period of Edward I.
<p>If you get a chance to go inside then you'll find that it's really unusual. The main chapel (upstairs) has the magnificent window (which is even more impressive from inside because of higher light levels outside) and downstairs (the crypt) has an interesting model of the original extent of the buildings around the church. If you enjoy your visit then there is an opportunity to buy a guidebook or leave a donation. There is also a cafe which is open for lunch 12-2.30.</p>
<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.stetheldreda.com/">St Etheldreda's website is here.</a><br />
<br />
When you are looking for the cache, leave no stone unturned. Please take your own pen and write your NAME ONLY in the logbook. There isn't space to leave anything else in the cache (unless it's tiny)! The cache is located outside the church.<br />

ShortDescription:
This cache is in an attractive location under the largest stained glass window in London. It is in an easy location on a private street which is (theoretically) still part of Cambridgeshire and would be suitable for children of all ages.

Hints: You should get to the bottom of the missing finial.
LongDescription:
 This cache celebrates all the underground activity both past and present that goes on below this area of London.

 In the many years of working nearby in the video industry I have been aware of the numerous underground connections to the buildings here. Engineers connecting cable between cellars have reported underground rivers and sets of bricked in lion cages below otherwise modern reception areas. My first employment was in a building with three exits in three different streets all connected by a warren of edit suites, studios and workshops. 

 There are three layers below the cache site itself. The first is the deserted WW2 bomb shelters constructed below Soho square, if you cross the square you will see the crumbling cement of the entrance stairway hidden in the bushes. The second is the Central Line platforms of Tottenham Court Road Tube and below them still are the twin bores of the new crossrail station, the cause of many buildings being demolished in north Soho at the time of hiding.

Hidden on the feast of St. Nicholas Chrysoberges

ShortDescription:


Placed outside Soho Square at low level. A camouflaged but large nano. Although placed in a very busy area you might have some luck with this, but avoid if possible between 12.00 and 14.00 when the lunchtime crowd descend.

There is sometimes a large plastic box containing rat poison on the ground nearby, this is not what you are looking for!  The container is much smaller (about the size of a thumb) and hidden just off the ground.


Code: GC2A3AF
ShortDescription: The cache is now a black nano. Please bring your own pencil

<h1>The Smoothe field Mystery</h1>
<h1>The Cache</h1>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">35mm film canister with magnet on the side. Bring a pencil / pen. Moved from the original location for Health and Safety reasons.</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. Snow Hill Police Station is in the area, but not near the final cache.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Avoid doing the actual cache discovery during the weekday lunch hour. Relatively quiet in the evening or weekend. I don’t believe there are any cameras overlooking the final cache site.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Buggy and wheelchair friendly</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">A couple of the stages (initial site and ‘torture’) are not 24hour access, the other sites are accessible at all times. You can do the sites in any order.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;"> </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 tale of sin (of the deadly kind), alien visitors, an ancient hospital (or two), body snatchers, frivolity, torture and ambulances, plus a few animals for good measure. Interested? Read on.</span></p>
<h1>Step One: N 51 31.103 W 00 06.070</h1>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Count the number of four legged animals in the field. Each mention counts (so, for example finding a horse, a mare and a filly would count as three). Only count four legged animals. This is <b><u>A</u></b>.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Whilst you’re here, have a look at what must be an early example of skiving off (C.W.s comment).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">This site is not available 24hours.</span></p>
<h1>Step Two: N 51 31.255 W 00 06.006</h1>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">A visit to the doctor in this <a rel="nofollow" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Charterhouse" title="Link to Charter House / Suttons Hospital">fourteenth century hospital</a> is not so easy to arrange these days. How many 't's in the URL you have to visit to spend £10 to have a tour of the ‘surgery’ these days? This will be <b><u>B</u></b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">I think where you need to look is accessible 24 hours, but might raise a few eye brows if you come looking in the wee small hours – suggest you try before</span> <span style="font-family:Arial;">11pm</span> <span style="font-family:Arial;">. You do not need to enter the private area to get this one.</span> [<i>this clue replaces an earlier version that refered to a phone number</i>]</p>
<h1>Step Three: N 51 31.195 W 00 06.116</h1>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Our first close encounter of the trip!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">What colour are the Aliens eyes? Pick the number corresponding to the colour, this will be <b><u>C</u></b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">If Yellow, then <b><u>C</u></b> is One.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">If Green, then <b><u>C</u></b> is Two.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">If Red, then <b><u>C</u></b> is Three.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">If White, then <b><u>C</u></b> is Four.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">If Blue, then <b><u>C</u></b> is Five.</span></p>
<h1>Step Four: N 51 31.258 W 00 06.228</h1>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Time for some pain! How many prick marks would you get if you laid down here? This is <b><u>DEF</u></b>.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Try it – it won’t hurt honestly!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">This site is not available 24hours. (Mo-Fr</span> <span style="font-family:Arial;">8am</span> <span style="font-family:Arial;">– Dusk, Sa</span> <span style="font-family:Arial;">9am</span> <span style="font-family:Arial;">– Dusk, Su 10am – Dusk).</span></p>
<h1>Step Five: N 51 31.322 W 00 06.172</h1>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Just in case the wounds from step four are more serious than expected, better get along to this ancient ambulance station. The question is when was the gate to the ambulance ‘station’ built? <b><u>GH</u></b>04</span></p>
<h1>Step Six: N 51 31.108 W 00 06.319</h1>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">A second close encounter is imminent. This fellow looks a little ghostly.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">What colour are the Aliens eyes? Pick the number corresponding to the colour, this will be <b><u>J</u></b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">If Yellow, then <b><u>J</u></b> is One.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">If Green, then <b><u>J</u></b> is Two.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">If Red, then <b><u>J</u></b> is Three.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">If White, then <b><u>J</u></b> is Four.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">If Blue, then <b><u>J</u></b> is Five.</span></p>
<h1>Step Seven: N 51 31.029 W 00 06.087</h1>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">We meet a sinner here and learn the real cause of the Great Fire of London in 1666! Whilst his sin was a deadly one, the public house that once stood here and served as a body snatchers ‘show room’ (so to speak) was surely a fairly sinful place altogether. The question is when did it’s <i>fortune</i> change and it was demolished? <b><u>KL</u></b>10.</span></p>
<h1>The final stage: the actual cache</h1>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">It’s time to put it all together to find where the final cache is located.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;">If you read through the whole of the description again, you’ll see that one of the things that I promised you has yet to be delivered – somewhere where frivolity and fun can be found. The final location with rectify that (so, there is a clue for you!)</span></p>
