The Leadenhall Market Diamond has been found!!!

Located at the base of Monument in the heart of the city, our intrepid explorer ROB was the first to work out the riddle and locate the sparkler!

With the anagram 'Pudding Lane' deciphered, finalists were greeted by Speckled Tim and given the first set of clues

Turn right down the street to which St George gave his name
Pass the Steam bar to the next street to further the game.
Head to a peninsula which you will see when you look right or left,
And stop at its door, moving downhill, on your quest.
Take the number on wall and double it – check your laces;
As with your back to the bollard, walk west all those paces.
When you stop, head north till you pass the block of glass;
Then West to where a Fine Line might be drawn in this task.
Now look down Fish Street Hill till you see a clock face -
And then add up from this distance the numbers at its base.
Once totalled take as many steps as this number south east
And stop under the stone panel showing London burning in a frieze.
Read which side of the stone base leads to St Magnus the Martyr
And by the transcript tell a girl that you are looking for
ST’s Sparkler...

To qualify to receive the final part of the riddle the finalists were asked to count the number of T's in the Latin transcript on the north face of Monument. The final riddle was

With Monument’s dish ablaze above -
A favoured perch of our speckled dove,
You’ve found my hide out in this final test
For on the north east corner is where I rest.
Behind spears of steel pointing to the sky;
Beneath the dragon’s tail is where I lie.
Look for the pouch tucked in the corner you’re finally there,
And claim your prize as the explorer extraordinaire!

CONGRATULATIONS Rob! Who had played from day one, recommended his friends, involved his whole team and proved a very worthy winner.

I hope you have enjoyed my adventure and it will not be long until I take to the skies again. To see more pictures of the final hunt and to keep up to date with me visit the Leadenhall Market Social Club LMSC www.leadenhallmarket.co.uk/lmsc.php
