This Saturday 12 September, TfL is organising a family-friendly treasure hunt to mark the centenary of the Northern line extension to Morden (including Balham, Tooting Bec and Tooting Broadway), which is open to all.
The treasure hunt will highlight the history, architecture and heritage of some of Northern line’s most distinctive Underground stations (designed by Charles Holden), which opened on 13 September 1926.
As part of the treasure hunt, participants will be invited to explore the route between Morden and Clapham South stations, uncovering details about Charles Holden’s architecture and the day-to-day operation of the Underground.
Starting at Morden station, teams will collect a clue pack containing a series of questions to answer at stations along the route. The treasure hunt will conclude at Clapham South station, where participants who have successfully completed the challenge will be eligible to receive a commemorative prize.
The event is designed to be completed at participants’ own pace and offers an opportunity to discover the unique features of these historic stations while enjoying local shops and cafés along the route.
