You step out into Trafalgar Square with a phone buzzing in your pocket and a city that doesn’t stop watching. Statues and fountains frame the plaza; beyond them, broad avenues and anonymous office façades hide the infrastructure that has long shaped London’s statecraft. This is an urban pursuit—equal parts pedestrian tour, puzzle trail, and role-play—that leans on observation rather than speed.
