Alchemy Trail
Step into London’s medieval past.
Dick Whittington wasn’t just a Mayor — he was a mystic. Or so the rumours say.
Step into a world of mystery, myth and medieval intrigue with Alchemy Trail — a self-guided walk through the ancient heart of the City. Follow the seven stages of alchemy across a labyrinth of livery halls, plague pits, secret parchments and coded verses.
Part walking tour, part treasure hunt, part medieval fever dream — if you like being shown London’s curios, places where history happened and where the toilets were in 1405, this one’s for you.
