Geocache Description:

Cache adjacent to The Barber Surgeons Hall and Herb Garden.

Note, this has moved from the original location, although the coords are the same given GPS accuracy around the cache location.


Short Back and Sides

Adjacent to the Barber Surgeons Hall Gardens and Herb Garden. Click on the link for more info on the The Worshipful Company of Barbers.

We are very close to a part of the old London Wall at ground level, however the cache is not in the ruins themselves. If you can not find an easy way to ground level I suggest that you look for 140 London Wall as there is a way down there.

As with a lot of urban caches you’ll need to be sensitive of local residents, gardeners and passers by on the upper walk way. Be aware of potential watchers (whether in homes or offices or via security cameras). However, if you are approached by either Police or Security Officers avoid acting suspiciously and explain what you are doing.

Have a look around the Garden once you’re done, many of the herbs are labelled up with either their current or historic medical purpose.

Buggy friendly(ish).

The cache

Small 1.25l plastic clip lock box, some small swaps in there.

The GPS coverage here is a bit variable due to the buildings – look for the stairs that you can’t come down and you’ll be in the right vicinity.

Take care of the little slip road down to the car park. Probably best not to do this one in the morning commute hours.

Once you’ve found it: *** *** make sure it goes back where you found it and it is covered properly so that those who follow you can find it, and those who shouldn’t don’t! ***
