Embark on a fascinating journey through the streets of London with our Sherlock Holmes London Tour, a must-do experience for fans of the legendary detective and his companion, Dr. Watson. The walking tour begins at Piccadilly, the very place where Holmes and Watson first met, and takes you through locations that inspired Sir Arthur Conan Doyle as well as sites featured in books, short stories, and film and television adaptations. As you stroll through the city, you will visit historic gentlemen’s clubs, grand hotels, and other iconic locations that have played a role in the stories, including A Study in Scarlet, The Hound of the Baskervilles, His Last Bow, and many more. Along the way, your guide will share fascinating behind-the-scenes insights about the inspiration behind the stories and the lives of the characters, providing a deep dive into the world of the famous detective.
The tour also explores filming locations from numerous adaptations starring Benedict Cumberbatch, Robert Downey Jr., Christopher Plummer, and Jeremy Brett, giving fans a chance to connect the literature to the screen. With plenty of opportunities to take photographs, see the locations up close, and even dress as your favorite character if you wish, this immersive walking tour brings the world of Sherlock Holmes to life. The experience concludes at Somerset House on The Strand, leaving you with lasting memories of London’s literary and cinematic history, but please note Baker Street is not included in the itinerary.

Had an amazing time on the Doctor Who walking tour with Chris! He’s such a fun and knowledgeable guide, and it was honestly the best way to see London while learning cool stuff about the show. Totally recommend it to any Doctor Who fan!

Owen is a great guide very informative and good fun even though he was getting over a very heavy cold. Could do with a few sit downs on the route
Tracy

Rory our guide was excellent. He was engaging and went out his way to include the young children on the tour. He had a great knowledge of the filming locations and about the stories deeper meanings. Would highly recommend
Nikki

This was a really entertaining and informative tour and Ian covered a wide range of literary and film connections with added historical detail to provide context. The tour really makes you want to revisit your favourite Sherlock stories and films and it was great to spend 2 hours in interesting company and in some of London’s most evocative, historical streets. Highly recommended.

A Delightful Paddington Tour! We had a lovely time exploring the Paddington film locations, it was such an informative and enjoyable experience. Our tour guide, Owen, was absolutely brilliant, friendly, enthusiastic, and full of energy. I’d seen a few reviews mentioning unclear guides, but that was definitely not the case here. Owen was clear, engaging, and made the morning enjoyable. Highly recommend! Thankyou - Family from Warwick
Shaun

great walk around central London, and the guide was the life of the tour! she was knowledgeable, active and funny! if you're a fan of Sherlock, especially the BBC tv series, definitely should join!
Caroline

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining. She took extra time to answer questions and further explain things to those who were less familiar with what she was discussing. We greatly enjoyed our tour.
Beth

We had an incredible time on the Brit Movies Gavin & Stacey tour in lovely Barry! Knock off Nessa was immense and absolutely nothing was too much trouble; she guided us beautifully through all the highlights from the show while sharing brilliant anecdotes all on the original Dave’s coach! Superb!! Couldn’t recommend it more highly! Not too physically demanding apart from navigating getting on and off the coach and nearby parking for the coach available, just brilliant!
