The Answers

 

Answer 1

The answer is “Camel”. There is a camel on the corner of the monument labelled '“Africa”, which corresponds to commerce on the main monument.


Answer 2

The answer is “1851”. Go around the Royal Albert Hall and arrived at the Lord Surrey Monument,. There, there is some writing on the far side, which says, “Opened by their majesty queen Victoria May 1st, 1851”. So, she must have been there in 1851.


Answer 3

The answer is “1902”. Go down the steps to the Royal College of Music and then turn left to arrive at the Royal College of Mines. Under the left statue of Wernher, there is a plaque that mentions Edward the seventh and tells you the stone was laid in 1909. 1909 – 7 = 1902.


Answer 4

The answer is “20”. Turn right at the corner, and continue down Exhibition Road, until you get to the church of Latter-Day Saints. If you count the letters in the name of the Church up to the I in Christ, you will get the number 20, which is also on the ground as part of the road signs.


Answer 5

The answer is “RBKC”. Walk down the road with the sign for cyclists to dismount on a small path. 10 meters down that path, there is a streetlamp opposite a ramp where the number 2 is written physically larger than the number 19 underneath. The letters ‘RKBC’ are inscribed above.


Answer 6

The answer is “Alexander Robert Burnes”. Walk along the black fence, past the Shepherd’s gate and around the corner, just beyond two doorways in the wall. There, there is the headstone of Alexander Robert Burnes, where the B in Burnes is blue.


Answer 7

The answer is “1868”. Follow the path down to where the wall ends and curves towards the houses on the left. Stay left and walk straight towards the main road. In front of you is the establishment Kind Planet, and to your right is the Brompton Quarter. Turn your back to the Brompton Quarter and walk straight until you reach 360 Degree bar, and the clock hanging above it, which was established in 1868.


Answer 8

The answer is “www.10-1-4-5.co.uk”. The answer to question 2 was 1851 and the first number in that is number 1. The answer to question 3 was 1902, and so the second digit is 0, and so on. The tricky bit is that in order to solve the next 2 digits, you need to use the answer to question 3 both times.


Answer 9

The answer is “Haic”. Behind the monument of the Cavalry of the Empire, you will find a plaque with a pillar for French on the far left and India written roughly in the middle. Between these two there is a pillar labelled Haic.


Answer 10

The answer is “Marble”. Walk back on the main path from George’s statue. Take the left-hand path and then turn left again when you reach a fork in the path. You will see a statue of a cherub. Remain on your path and follow the general direction of the arrow. You will find yourself approaching the statue of the Boy and Dolphin. Near here, there is a plaque with the word Marble in the text - below opportunity, above misery, to the right of changed and to the left of turned. Marble is also an anagram of ramble.

The answer is 5. The 11,500 officers who served plus 159,000 other ranks and then the difference between the numbers under the weapons (in Roman numerals), is 5
