ELEMENTARY! For mystery lovers of all ages, put your gumshoe skills to the test with a tour of Sherlock Holmes' hometown. Begin sleuthing your
way around London with a visit to Baker Street, where you can come face-to-face
with a 9 foot statue of the great detective. Your next clue can be found at The Sherlock
Holmes Museum located at 221b Baker Street which is actually located
between 237 and 241 Baker Street. The museum has recreated his famous study,
and Dr. Watson’s bedroom which are primed for snooping.
Just a few blocks
away is 2 Devonshire Place where Sir Arthur Conan Doyle had his medical
practice. Take the Tube to Charing Cross and walk to The Sherlock
Holmes pub, where Holmes tracked down Francis Hay Moulton in The
Noble Bachelors. You can enjoy a detective-themed lunch and various Sherlock
memorabilia. Holmes and Watson wander all over London in their adventures
including places like The Lyceum Theatre, The Royal Opera House,
The British
Museum, and St Paul’s Cathedral. Finally, you can solve the
mystery by having dinner at Simpsons-in-the-Strand, Holmes’ favorite
restaurant, and drinks at The Punch Bowl which was frequented by the cast
of the movie and is owned by Guy Ritchie.
