Green Park underground station, London (Green Park exit, by the fountain)
Guided by Richard IV
Short version: Illustrious Clients. Greek Interpreters. Naval Treaties. Prime Ministers, secret agents and a certain gracious Lady.
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 version: Holmes and Watson among the great and the good, discovering that crime is equally prevalent in High Society. The St James club where Holmes went to consult the mysterious Langdale Pike. Holmes’ clever brother Mycroft, who sometimes was the British government: his lodgings in Pall Mall and the Diogenes Club. The library where Dr Watson did vital research to trap a devious murderer. The little door where the Kaiser’s masterspy went to deliver his secret codes (until Sherlock stopped him). The original Scotland Yard. And why the area was familiar to a certain A. Conan Doyle. Follow the trail of Holmes and Watson in pursuit of missing submarine plans, mysterious ladies and devious politicians. This Tour du Jour is guided by actor Richard IV, he of the velvety voice. N.B. the walk takes about two hours and ends near Embankment Tube and Charing Cross (Railway Station and Tube).
The Sherlock Holmes Saves the Nation walk takes place at 2pm on Monday November 29th
The meeting point is just outside The Green Park Exit of Green Park Tube by the fountain
The walk is guided by actor Richard IV,* he of the velvety voice, perfect timing and Audiobook renown.
*Yes, that Richard IV, the Audiobooks stalwart. If he sounds familiar it’s because you’ve heard those dulcet tones on A Book at Bedtime, etc. Today you get to meet the man behind the voice.
