What To Expect

The Game is afoot...

It doesn't matter if you are a die hard traditionalist or a modern BBC "Sherlock" fan. I am a nerd for everything Sherlock Holmes and have got you covered! This tour is designed to give you details on the history and locations of the original Sherlock Holmes stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and important filming locations from the recent BBC series. This tour also covers some great London landmarks like St Paul's Cathedral, Trafalgar Square, The Strand, and the place where William Wallace (Braveheart) was executed.

Starting at Embankment station you will be given an overview of the traditional stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle before your guide takes you to the Sherlock Holmes Pub (a location from Hound of the Baskervilles) The upper rooms contain a recreation of Sherlock's sitting room at 221b Baker Street. Then its on to Scotland Yard and the location where Inspector's Lestrade and Hopkins work. Not that Holmes has a particularly high opinion of the Yard Detectives!

Soho
Now its time to see a famous location from the BBC Sherlock series. Remember the scene where Holmes and Watson have just met and are having dinner. They spot a suspicious taxi, Watson leaves his walking stick behind, and they run through the streets trying to catch the Taxi. We will make a stop at that very restaurant!

20 minutes • Admission Ticket Free

Russell Square
The area of Russell square has a long association with writers. The Bloomsbury Group were based here, and so too was Arthur Conan Doyle in 1891. We will pass Sherlock's home before he moved to 221b Baker Street, and go to the spot where Mike Stamford met Dr Watson in the BBC series Sherlock. The route will also pass other filming locations from the BBC show.

• Admission Ticket Free

Sherlock Holmes Museum
Located in Baker Street the Sherlock Holmes Museum is set out as the home Sherlock and Dr Watson share with Mrs Hudson. It matches exactly the descriptions given by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Your guide will end the tour here and leave you to enjoy the shop and museum. If you have any further questions or require any assistance for onward travel your guide will be pleased to assist.
