Getting there

Several options are available:

  1. The pub is closest to Farringdon underground station (Metropolitan, Circle and Hammersmith & City lines). Thameslink trains also stop at the station. Chancery Lane underground and Angel underground stations are also within 15 minute walk for Central and Northern lines respectively.
  2. Bus 63 stops on Farringdon Road near the pub, but check status due to on-going road works on Farringdon Road.

Parking is restricted and very limited in the streets near the pub – we recommend using public transport.

The Street-O format has clues located at various points on a map. You have 60 minutes to visit as many of these as possible, in any order, and return to the finish. This guide provides general information about street orienteering.

Don’t forget to bring a pen to write down your answers to the clues as you go around, and a watch. We would recommend a all runners carry a torch or headtorch. The map is 1:10,000.

All competitors take part at their own risk. You MUST be over 16 to take part in this event, unless you are accompanied by a parent or guardian. This is a condition of our insurance.
