Hello, I’m Jacqui
As the founder of Spiritus, an alternative education hub in Hammersmith, I have spent years watching young minds light up through discovery and exploration. What began as weekly scavenger hunts in central London for our Spiritus students has grown into something much bigger – a way for families to experience London’s magic together.
I created these adventures because I believe the best learning happens when we are having fun. Each trail started as a labour of love, carefully crafted to weave together London’s hidden stories with puzzles that make both children and parents think differently about the streets they walk.
Drawing on my background in alternative education, I have designed each quest to do more than just entertain. When families follow our trails, they are not just solving clues – they are building observation skills, developing critical thinking, and most importantly, creating memories together.
Every route has been tested and refined with real families, ensuring the perfect balance of challenge and achievement. I’ve watched children’s eyes light up as they spot a hidden detail they have walked past a hundred times before. I’ve seen parents amazed by secret gardens they never knew existed. These moments of shared discovery are what make our adventures special.
What started with one simple trail for Spiritus has grown into a collection of carefully crafted London adventures. Each one reveals a different side of our magnificent city, from medieval mysteries in the City to secret artist havens along the Thames.
I believe there is something magical about putting down our phones and experiencing London together, armed with just a paper map and a sense of curiosity. I hope these trails bring your family as much joy as they have brought to ours.
