Thought it would be rude not to grab a few caches while in Laaaandaaan town for a meeting. This one fitted the bill as it was placed in a month that I have not previously found. Soon found the required info and received the email confirmation that it was correct. Selfie attached accordingly. TNLNSL. TFTC.

Have managed a couple of the rainbow series on a previous trip to London (2011) and was out and about again to try for a few more.

Headed up for this one early morning to ensure I could get around a few of the others. Found the required info, sent my e-mail and received the all clear straight away. I do like that system.

Thanks for taking to me another off the track location. Was certainly surprised when I read the info...

Thanks for this one rodz.....now off to another one. Fav point added.

Another quality bit of London history and shows just how good caching can be - I've been up and down this location many a time and just never seen it, so thank you.

Another nice quick find once we had arrived at GZ, with the answers efficiently confirmed as always with this series. TFTC.

We did this as one of five virtual caches that we found today to make sure that we qualified for the virtual part of GC57WYV Mole's Fibonacci Icon Challenge. I've no idea whether we'll manage to meet all of the other requirements over time, but at least this one is ticked off!

Monday and Tuesday was planed our company meeting to London, so I visited this beautiful city again after 15 years.
I fly to London Sunday afternoon, and used this time for walking through the city.
I started at Kensington, continue around Hyde Park to Buckingham Palace, then to Westminster, Trafalgar square, and tried to continue to Tower. This plan was to challenging and after 20 km I was not able to fulfill my dream Wink. Around my way I tried to found all caches around, however I was not fully successful.
Monday and Tuesday - despite the all days meetings, I found the time for finding some caches also.
When I prepared for this trip, I, of course, checked the caches situation Wink.
It was unbelievable - to see so many unusual caches types Razz.
All together I found during this 3 days 33 caches - 1-multi, 2-webcams, 3-Earth, 10-virtual, 17-tradi.
Thanks to all owners for their caches and for nice experience with geo-London Razz.

Rainbow series was one of my main goals for this London trip.
To found answers and realize asked photo was for this one quite easy,
and I am happy to visit this interesting place.
Thanks for all series.

Found this one on a long day of caching in London while hopping on and off a tour bus.
The cache area is still under construction, but work has progressed compared to some of the earlier log pics.
More entertaining was going back down onto the Strand and watching the paparazzi photograph models and other assorted funnily dressed folk as they exited the London fashion week area.

Thanks

On a morning stroll before a long day of meetings.
As usual, prompt reply by return mail from the cache owner.
Thanks again for this series.

Since I'm staying so close to this spot that I can see it out of the bedroom window, it seemed rude not to collect the info and log the find! No GPS with me so photo is of my empty hand...TFTC

Juhl and I were in London for four days and despite visiting all the famous sites we also found time to do a bit of geocaching on our way through the city. We found many great caches and all in good shape – what an achievement in such a busy city to keep these caches up to speed. Therefore we wish to thank all the cache owners for placing and maintaining all these caches. They were source of much joy and excitement.

Comments regarding this cache:

I had a hope of finding all of these rainbow caches, but didn't succeed. There is more to life than geocaching, and as I had never been to this fantastic city before, we spent a lot of time sightseeing etc. However, this cache was found on our way to see a famous musical nearby.

I think these caches are brilliant. I wish I had come up with an idea like that! Thanks for a great cache Smile The picture shows me infront of a restaurant, where we didn't eat (but sure wanted to...).

Got to London very early on Saturday morning, dropped the suitcases at the hotel and spent the rest of the day in the Science Museum and also picking up some interesting caches. During our four day stay we also got to see many of the sights and hit the shops for some serious retail therapy. Geocaching was fitted in for my benefit.

This cache was one of the ones we had picked out to find. Enjoyed the walk around this neighbourhood.

I was visiting London today on a trip where I planned to collect my 8000th cache and several special, rare (and old) caches too. The London Rainbow series was a high priority on my list and this was the third of the 7 colours for me today. It was fairly busy here by the time I arrived and I managed to get myself the wrong side of the no through road in the busy London traffic. Eeeek! Luckily, the mellers-mobile is a tiny thing and I simply got off and pushed it across the pedestrian crossing and up the hill! Unsure if I should take a photo of Geo Teddy at the 'colour' location or the final location, I did both. Back home, I sent the info to the CO and received a confirmation e-mail by return. TFTVC.

On a weekend trip to London from Exeter for Dragon Boat Racing so I decided to come up a day early and find caches. This was my first before a browse around the nearby market. TFTC

This colour proved to be a little different to the last one!

Followed the instructions and arrived at GZ and went I know who that is. Quite interesting. It did need me to cross to see the required information though.

Found while on a visit to the UK. Big Grin

Had a few hours to spare in central London before heading over to Heathrow to catch my
flight home, so grabbed the GPS and wandered into the unknown.

Had no real plan, just thought I'd se where the GPS took me.

There are very few Virtual Caches around my Home in Western Australia, so wanted to
pick up a few whilst here.

This was my second of three. Info gathered and very dodgy photo posted.

Cheers Rodz.

Found it as we were walking past to another cache. I took the photo since i thought it was cool and then realised later and had to walk back again to get the information :S Thanks for the cache
 
03-Dec-11
Found it, no problem, noted information, came home and now realise I forgot the photo. Doh. An interesting cache all the same.

I believe this is either my penultimate or ante-penultimate Rainbow cache! I was strictly out on a Munzee hunt today but couldnt resist logging off another colour as I was strolling past. Found the colour with a giggle and then got to the surprising GZ... that guy does get around, sure Ive seen several residence around here! Photo snapped (an edited :P) then it was off to repair a few of my Munzees. Lucky you gave me the heads up Rodz! Vine St was on the floor (now cable tied in place), Marlborough Rd was on its last sticky legs (now moved across the street) and I even checked Regent St as I walked past to find a cleaner had been through and the detergent had loosened the tape, so now it is still there but higher and trickier >:) Phew! That was lucky.

Just need to revisit the Beatles to complete this I think Wink

Menu looks nice!

Work had brought me to London, so I made the most of the opportunity to do some caching...

Interesting. I'd never really thought about this person living somewhere like this.

Many thanks for the interesting cache.

Got confused at first, due to not reading the description properly but eventually worked it out. I have eaten in one of the restaurants in the building at the initial location, but someone else was paying. TFTC.

Found while on a short break from the Wirral. Interesting cache. We probably wouldn't have noticed this without the cache.

Great location. Email coming momentarily.

This was the second last cache we found on our holiday trip to London. TFTC!

a nice surprise to 'find' a cache awaiting us after Lion King.
 
19-Dec-09
We were on a trip to London to see The Lion King ( Mr MJ's birthday wander) and I was very pleased to see a cache so close to the theatre Smile
This was a quick find on a beautiful, crisp day even though there was a lot of snow around.
Thank you for setting this cache and the show was BRILLIANT as well Smile

Solved the puzzle 15 Nov, but I had to wait for my better half to take the required picture, taken today at 14:50. Historical spot, TFTC!
 
25-Nov-09
Found during my lunch break, glad to be taught some local history. TFTC

Found it, and the pic (albeit in another county).
Thanks Smile

Another rainbow down. Love the historical markers dotted around London, a brilliant living museum. Some guy in the cafe was looking at me funny the whole time I was writing out the details. Thanks for the cache, getting there...

Visiting from Australia for a couple of weeks. Continuing on my long walk around London. Loved this one, very interesting! Found the information and confirmed by email. Thanks for the cache.
 
Booked into our hotel and then went for a quick stroll around the corner to find this nearby cache. Thanks for the great history lesson.
 
06-Sep-07
For some reason this one took ages to find. Was going up and down the wrong streets before I stumbled across the answers.
 
18-Feb-07
In London for the weekend and this was the first cache we walked by. Thought we'd failed miserably but after returning home we realised why! Good old google helped a bit from then on! Interesting history lesson!
Thanks,

Have been here previous twice and haven't had the time to really think and look so this time Mr J was in tow and of course in five seconds know the who - he drives me mad when he does that - then to find the date found easy with google.
Thanks

15:58 Hard one to find, looks like the building is empty as others have said. Found a plaque that had been removed. Luckly it wasn't the one needed for the clue. Thanks for the cache. Will be back to do the others in the series soon.
 
26-Sep-04
This one was hardwork for a while!
GPS jumped all over the place but as a result I saw some lovely restaurants, theatres and hotels, I must return...(with more money!)
EMail on way
Thanks for bringing me here.

Found by Mary & David from Australia at 1620. A familiar area for us after previous visits. Just down the road from Australia House and St Clement Danes Church in one direction, and not that far from Trafalgar Square in the other. We saw "The Lion King" musical just around the corner last night too. Our thanks to McDehack. We weren't able to do any others in the series on this visit. Hopefully there will be another opportunity one day.

That took some finding. Email sent.

Thanks for the cache.

Couldn't afford even the doorman's bribe to let us past with our rainsoaked tatters on. But we did find the nice plaque not far away -- one which reminded us of another similar plaque elsewhere in the area.. Email on the way.

Cheers
