What to expect
Your guide meets you at your accommodation and leads you on foot through central London, moving between locations using the Underground where necessary. You'll stand outside 221B Baker Street and other addresses from the stories, then visit actual filming locations where the BBC series was shot. The guide shares insights into both Conan Doyle's original narratives and modern adaptations, answering questions as you go. The route is flexible—if you're keener on the books than the TV show, or vice versa, your guide adjusts accordingly. Expect a conversational, unhurried experience rather than a scripted spiel.
Good to know
Bring an Oyster Card or contactless payment for London Underground journeys between stops. The tour is largely on foot with some tube travel, so wear comfortable shoes. Prams and service animals are welcome. Children must be supervised by an adult throughout.
