The route of this Hunt will take you through some of the most iconic spots in London's West End.

The route starts in Trafalgar Square, and then takes you through St James's Square, past St. James's Palace and along St. James's Street. This area was developed by aristocrats close to Charles II, and made fashionable by men such as Beau Brummell and Sir Isaac Newton. As well as the Palace, St James's is notable for its high-end gentlemen's outfitters, bootmakers, barbers, hatters, gunsmiths and vintners. Old school clubland and traditional restaurants such as Wiltons have been here since the mid-18th century, and there are retail havens for cigar aficionados. As you might expect, there are also many art and antique dealerships, as well as the great auction house, Christie's.

The second half of the Hunt takes in Piccadilly, Piccadilly Circus and Shaftesbury Avenue with its numerous theatres. The route currently ends in vibrant Gerrard Street in the Chinatown district.

2 sets of questions (easy/cryptic) plus bonus picture and pub rounds.
