Geocaching In London

[+voyager54]

I'll be in London just for Friday, April 28. I hoping to bring a TB or two with me, if I can get to a cache before then. Does anyone have any recommendations for traditional caches in London that would be appropriate for someone not terribly familiar with the city, but happy to walk? I'd like to bring a TB or two back with me too. I tried looking for caches in London, but the search engine would only give me the whole of the UK. I need help narrowing it down. I'll also be in Farningham, Kent for a couple of days and would be happy to look up a cache or two in the neighborhood. Thanks!

If you are happy to do a bit of walking, then the caches in Kensington/Hyde/Green/St.James parks are all good.

 

Not much chance to drop any TB's though... all micros.

There's a TB hotel in Regent's Park. It's close to Baker Street tube station. You may find this map very helpful too.

if you're in the city, then try This one and this one They are near the city and a short distance from each other - then you also have a place to leave a TB with This lovely one

 

Hope that helps - 3 within about a mile or so of each other

Thanks so much to all who responded to my query. I found the Tube Map very helpful. I can study it and pick my caches.

Thing to remember about the tube map is that it bears no resemblance to actual distances between stations and gives a schematic view rather than a true to scale one.

Cara's College cache and London Letterbox & TB exchange are two that we found to be big enough for TBs. They are very close to each other, too. We walked there from Paddington Station, and passed many other caches on the way, including the micro Criss Cross Bridge and the virtual Sherlock 6. I'm very unfit, but even I could walk this distance easily! I love caching in London - so many to choose from!

 

I located the London caches by using the postcode of Paddington Station - W2 1HA. The caches I have mentioned above are to the north / north-east of here, I believe.

 

Edited to add - ooh, my 100th post!
