"The game is afoot!" It's time to go sleuthing with Corinna or Richard IV and their Baker Street Irregulars! You'll explore an area whose "everchanging kaleidoscope of life" intrigued Holmes and Watson.
You'll follow their adventures in Charing Cross, the Strand's gas-lit alleys, and Covent Garden with its Opera House and colourful market stalls, ending, where else? at the superb re-creation of Sherlock Holmes's study. Housed in the building immortalised in The Hound of the Baskervilles and featuring many artefacts donated by the Conan Doyle family, it's a place "where a dream becomes reality". And best of all, it's free to visit!
The In the Footsteps of Sherlock Holmes Walk takes place every Thursday afternoon at 2.30 pm.
Meet your guide, Richard IV or Corinna, just outside Embankment Tube.
A London Walk costs £7 - or £5 for Super Adults (65+), full-time students, and Discount Walkabout Card holders. The Walkabout Cards are a bargain so do ask your guide for one! Children under 15 go free if accompanied by their parent(s)
There is no need to book our London Walks - just turn up on the day at the rendezvous point, pay your fee to the guide, join in and have fun!
