Starting outside the Granaio Restaurant in Piccadilly Circus, this Sherlock Holmes-themed walking tour will take you past some of the best sites associated with the world's greatest fictional detective.

As you walk along your guide will point out locations linked with the novels and movies, like the place where Sherlock Holmes first met his loyal friend Dr Watson, the site of the Diogenes Club (known for its strict no-talking rule), and Somerset House, which doubled up as Lord Blackwood's Pentonville Prison in the BBC's Sherlock series.

You'll also see the Royal Academy building which was used during the filming of Murder by Decree, and lots of grand hotels, pubs and gentleman's clubs mentioned in the books.

Your guide will also include information about the author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and entertain you with gossip from the movies, like Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes movie starring Robert Downey Junior.
