Short read: “The game’s afoot!”
Meet your guide: here’s Richard – “specialised in early detective fiction at university, played Dr Watson on stage, contributes to the Sherlock Holmes Journal, is the Audiobooks reader for the Dr John Watson series” – talking about Sherlock Holmes, Dr Watson, Conan Doyle and the London they knew.
Long read: Grab your deerstalker and magnifying glass, we’re going sleuthing. Following their adventures in Charing Cross, the Strand’s gas-lit alleys, and Covent Garden. Ending in a place “where a dream becomes reality.” Yes, that’s right the superb re-creation of Sherlock Holmes’ study. Housed in the building immortalised in The Hound of the Baskervilles and featuring many artefacts donated by the Conan Doyle family, And not only is it the genuine article – as opposed to a tourist trap – it’s free to visit. Guided by Corinna or Richard IV.
The meeting point is just outside the Villiers Street exit of Embankment Tube. N.B. the walk ends just round the corner from Embankment Tube.
“The original and best – there are several companies offering walking tours of London but London Walks (London’s oldest) is easily the pick of the bunch” London, Cadogan Guide
“London Walks is by far the best” Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
If you can’t make one of the regularly scheduled, just-turn-up, public Sherlock Holmes’ London walks do think about booking one as a private tour. If you go private you can have the Sherlock Holmes’ London Walk – or any other London Walk – on a day and at a time that suits your convenience. We’ll tailor it to your requirements. And – always with private London Walks and tours – we go to great lengths to make sure the guide-walker(s) “fit” is well-nigh perfect. Ring Fiona or Noel or Mary on 020 7624 3978 or email us at privatewalks@walks.com and we’ll set it up and make it happen for you. A private London Walk – they’re good value for an individual or couple and sensational value for a group – makes an ideal group or educational or birthday party or office (team-building) or club outing.
A private London Walk makes a very special, indeed a unique gift – be it a birthday or anniversary or Christmas present or whatever. Merchandise schmerchandise (gift wrapped or not) – but giving someone an experience, now that’s special. Memories make us rich.
It all comes down to the guiding.
