You start outside the Twinings tea shop on the Strand, headphones in, the city's murmur folding into the voice of a restless 19th‑century journalist. The pavements narrow, alleys drop away like stage wings, and Fleet Street's old pressrooms give way to the hush of the Temple precincts. The Thames glints to your right, daring you to keep pace.

You start outside the Twinings tea shop on the Strand, headphones in, the city's murmur folding into the voice of a restless 19th‑century journalist. The pavements narrow, alleys drop away like stage wings, and Fleet Street's old pressrooms give way to the hush of the Temple precincts. The Thames glints to your right, daring you to keep pace.
This is an urban puzzle-walk built around R. L. Stevenson’s Strange Case of Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde (1886). The route threads Victorian façades, Wine Office Court, Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese and Dr Johnson’s house, pausing at Temple Church and the livery halls where apothecaries once mixed remedies — and reputations. The tour leans on real London layers: medieval gates in the Temple, post‑1666 hall rebuilds, and Fleet Street's newsroom legacy. Expect sound design that uses ambient city noise, archival references and GPS-triggered images and puzzles to animate each stop.
Practically: the walk takes about 1.5–2 hours on mostly flat, paved streets with a few tight alleys and gates that may be closed outside business hours. Download the app and test audio before you set off; pockets of poor signal can affect downloads mid-route. Bring headphones, a fully charged phone or battery pack, and sensible footwear for two hours of standing and walking. Public transport is close — Temple and Blackfriars stations are walkable — so you can start or finish the loop from several points. The experience fits history buffs, audiobook fans and puzzle players who like exploration at their own pace.

The walk draws on R.L. Stevenson’s 1886 novella and threads real Fleet Street and Temple landmarks — areas shaped by medieval orders, 17th‑century rebuilds and the city’s print press.
Keep to pavements and avoid trampling green spaces; the Temple area and riverside are managed historic zones where litter and noise can damage fragile stonework and habitats.
