Sherlock Holmes is arguably the world's most famous and recognised fictional detective. He is a timeless character who is loved by young and old throughout the world. His pipe smoking image is recognisable all around the world. Author Sir Conan Doyle wrote beautiful descriptive stories which have been translated into hundreds of language and read throughout the world. In some countries such as the USA and Japan the books from part of their schools national curriculum.
The Sherlock Holmes character was written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle back in 1887. The first story was called 'A study in Scarlet' followed by 'The Sign of Four' three years later. The actual character was inspired by a real life doctor who Doyle worked for during his years studying medicine. Serous fans will already know this but may not be aware of a London walk dedicated to this character. If you are a real fan of Sherlock Holmes then the London walking tour is a must see event.
The 2 ½ hour tour starts at the famous address of Mr Holmes which is now a museum, 221b Backer Steet London. On the tour you get to visit many TV and movie locations which were featured in the recent BBC TV production with Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman. Also on route you will see many of the locations in the last big screen adaptation which was directed by Guy Richie and stared the great Robert Downey Jr.
The walking tour is led by an expert who will be able to answer questions about the famous detective. You will get lots of opportunities to take pictures and see the locations up close. If you have read all of the books then this tour is a must for you. You will meet many other fans on this walk so will have plenty of opportunity to talk to like minded people. You may even leave the tour with some new friends to keep in touch with.
Moneywise the cost of the tours is really reasonable, only £15 per person, or if you have a group of up to 4 the price goes down to just £10 each. If you have over 5 people in your group the tour costs just £8 each. Another idea is to buy gift vouchers. These make a great gift idea for someone who has a love of Sherlock Holmes. They can then choose the day and time of trip for when it suites them. If you buy a couple of vouchers they can take a friend which the giver of the vouchers would probably be first in line.
