City of London team building activities & treasure hunts
Step into the historic heart of the capital with team building activities and treasure hunts in the City of London. Packed with centuries of history, striking architecture and hidden alleyways, this unique part of London offers the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable corporate adventure.
Most treasure hunts in the City of London start near St Paul’s, Bank or Liverpool Street, depending on where your office is. From there, teams can weave through the lanes to Leadenhall Market and on towards the Tower of London, picking up GPS checkpoints as they go.
Often described as a “city within a city”, the Square Mile blends ancient landmarks with towering modern skyscrapers. One moment your team could be exploring winding medieval streets near St Paul’s Cathedral, the next you’ll be surrounded by the glass-fronted buildings of London’s financial district around Bank and Liverpool Street. From the Tower of London to Leadenhall Market, every corner of the City has a story to tell.
Using our interactive Mobile Adventures app, your team will work together to solve clues, answer location-based questions and complete creative photo and video challenges as you explore the City. Expect plenty of laughs, friendly competition and opportunities to put communication and collaboration skills to the test.
Whether you’re planning a corporate away day, conference breakout activity or summer social, the City of London offers a dynamic setting that combines culture, history and energy in equal measure. With flexible formats and a wide range of team building experiences available, it’s easy to create an event that suits your group perfectly.

Can we host a festive outdoor team building activity?
Sure! Our outdoor team building activities are a great addition to any holiday party or end-of-year wrap-up event. Discover our range of festive team building activities here.
Do I need an internet connection?
Not all the time. Mobile Adventures is a secure, native app, and the whole activity downloads to your Team Captain’s phone before you start (Wi-Fi is easiest for this). Everything is stored on the phone, so the activity keeps working when signal comes and goes. With a basic data connection you’ll get the most out of it: your photos and videos reach our host as you go, and you’ll get live messages and bonus tasks. If you lose signal, keep playing. Everything uploads once you’re back on data.
Does Wildgoose provide smartphones and laptops?
No, the beauty of all our activities is that they can are played from your own smartphone.
Can you run an outdoor escape room in any city?
Almost anywhere, yes. Our GPS games are most often played in city centres, larger towns, or the grounds of a hotel or venue, and they work in any location where the route is safe with good paths and walkways.
We run outdoor team building activities across a wide range of locations, including several areas of London, but the same game runs just as well around your own office or in a nearby park. Just tell us where when you book. One thing worth knowing: Urban Explorer needs a town or city centre, because its photo and video challenges rely on landmarks and shops being close by. For a smaller town, hotel grounds or a venue like a theme park, we would point you at one of our other GPS games instead.
Do we need a Wildgoose host for outdoor activities?
We always recommend choosing one of our hosting options to create a high-energy experience for your team. However, we also offer a selection of self-managed team activities too.
How do outdoor escape games work?
You play outdoors on your own smartphones, guided by GPS. Teams set off from a start point you choose, and as each team reaches a GPS hotspot the app unlocks the next clue, puzzle or challenge.
One of our hosts briefs everyone at the start, stays on hand throughout to support teams and keep the energy up, then wraps up with the results at the end. Remote hosting comes as standard, and an onsite host can join your group in person instead for an additional fee. There is no equipment for us to deliver and nothing to install on site, which is why an outdoor escape game can be booked with as little as 24 hours’ notice.
