Holmes & Watson’s Favorite Turkish Bath!
- Strand - The Strand was a bustling and fashionable area during the time of Sherlock and Watson.
After solving a case, Sherlock often remarked, “Come Watson, let’s take nourishment at Simpsons in the Strand.”
Simpsons was Sherlock Holmes’ preferred dining spot. This upscale British restaurant was also favored by Charles Dickens, Winston Churchill, and Prince Charles.
- Saint Bartholomew’s Hospital Museum - Established in 1123, this is London’s oldest hospital. It is where Sherlock and Watson first met. The following day, they moved into 221b Baker Street.
In the modern BBC series ‘Sherlock,’ Watson watches in horror as Sherlock appears to fall to his “death” after a rooftop encounter with Moriarty.
- North Gower Street - The BBC series featuring Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock Holmes uses this location for 221b Baker Street.
The real-life café, Speedy’s, featured in the show, is typically open Monday to Friday, offering a chance to enjoy coffee just like Sherlock does in the series!
- Sherlock Holmes Museum - The classic 221b Baker Street, home to Sherlock and Watson in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s stories.
Visitors can explore the Sherlock store or pose for a photo outside this globally renowned address.
- Whitechapel - A brief ride on the London Underground takes you to the East End of London for a walking tour of Whitechapel, delving into the world of Jack the Ripper.
Your knowledgeable guide will share the history of London’s “East End” and its transformation from a deprived area to one undergoing significant regeneration.
The tour covers key sites related to the Jack The Ripper Murders, providing a detailed account of the case and those involved.
- Spitalfields - Now a trendy and creative hub, Spitalfields in 1888 was vastly different. Even the police avoided it after dark, and during the Autumn of 1888, Jack the Ripper chose this area as one of his main hunting grounds.
You’ll visit surviving buildings, murder sites, and hear witness testimonies from the time.
Perhaps these insights will help you form your own opinion on the world’s most famous unsolved crime?
- Goulston Street - Jack the Ripper left few physical clues. The most famous and debated is the “Goulston Street Graffito.”
A bloodstained apron from Catherine Eddowes was discovered in a doorway on Goulston Street. Above it, scrawled in chalk on the wall, was possibly some of Jack the Ripper’s handwriting. Let’s discuss the facts and let you decide!
- Mitre Passage - Just off Mitre Street lies Mitre Square.
In this dark, cobbled square, Jack the Ripper brutally murdered and mutilated Catherine Eddowes. How he accomplished this in the darkness in under 15 minutes remains a topic of intense debate among Ripperologists.
