The walking tour of London starts at the very place where Holmes and Watson first meet at Piccadilly. It then takes in literary sites from gentlemen’s clubs to grand hotels featured in some of the novels and short stories. Your guide will give you the context in which these stories are set and how London inspired the author of the books, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

Along the way, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to take pictures and see the locations up-close.
