Overview

An opportunity to follow in the footsteps of Sherlock Holmes, consulting detective. Famous for observation, deduction and logical reasoning.... A gentle stroll, passing places of inspiration and interest.

The walk traces the footsteps of the Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle and references many others. There will be a stop in Manchester Square visiting the Wallace Museum, the Sherlock Holmes pub with study crammed with references to Holmes's cases and ending at the British Museum.
