Description
Embark on a Sherlock Holmes London Tour, exploring locations featured in the books, film and TV adaptations of the detective’s great adventures. Spot real sites that inspired Arthur Conan Doyle to create a particular setting for his masterpiece.
Begin the walking tour at the very place where Holmes and Watson first met at Piccadilly and then take in settings such as gentlemen’s clubs to grand hotels featured in some of the novels and short stories, picturizing the London that inspired the author of the books.
Some of the stories covered on tour include A Study in Scarlet, The Illustrious Client, His Last Bow, The Adventure of the Retired Colourman, The Hound of the Baskervilles, A Scandal in Bohemia and many others.
Being the most filmed character in all literature, more so than Bond, Oliver Twist, or even Jesus Christ, you will get to see numerous sites where Benedict Cumberbatch, Christopher Plummer, Robert Downey Jr, and Jeremy Brett pursued as great detectives.
Along the way, you will have plenty of opportunities to take pictures and see the locations up-close.
Feel free to dress up as the Master Sleuth himself or any other character in the series (only if you want to!).
Finish the tour at Somerset House on The Strand.
