This guided experience blends literary history, iconic landmarks, and modern filming locations, bringing Conan Doyle’s world vividly to life.

Explore London’s intellectual heart near the Athenaeum Club and Royal Society of Chemistry, revealing the science behind the sleuth. Pass elegant landmarks like Fortnum & Mason, highlighting Victorian class and society.
Discover Sherlock Holmes on screen at Leicester Square and Speedy’s Café (BBC Sherlock filming location). Finish at Baker Street Station and the iconic 221B Baker Street.
