Posted on March 28, 2013

Other than eating chocolate eggs for next week, we've rounded up a few things for you to do/ peruse this week. And of course we have Wayfarer opening tonight (just a hint). Happy Easter!

5. The Big Egg Hunt


And they mean big. With over 101 giant (unfortunately not edible) eggs dotted around London to celebrate Easter, The Big Egg Hunt gives you a map and a whole city to explore. Our very own Mark Hayward has hidden his Egg Tank on the mean streets of London. Bon voyage!

 

Not many details I can give you, it's free, all over London and not ticketed and open all hours. Go!
