“Funny and I learned a lot. Thank you to Owen for this wonderful experience”
Join Mycroft Holmes’s covert Network in Shepherd’s Bush for a 100-minute Sherlock escape game. You’ll solve clues across show-inspired sets with video appearances from Benedict Cumberbatch, Andrew Scott, and Martin Freeman. Groups of two or three may share a game, while four to six play privately.
“Bien qu en anglais, cet Escape Game est au top, la déco et les éléments de jeux sont très qualitatifs et immersifs Merci pour cet incroyable aventure Génial”
Meet at Piccadilly Circus at 10:30 for a guided walk through Sherlock Holmes book, film, and TV locations. You’ll see the Royal Academy, the fictional Diogenes Club, grand hotels, pubs, and Somerset House. Guides such as Ian, Fiona, Owen, and Spencer bring strong Holmes and London knowledge.
“Michael was our guide, & we felt he was quite knowledgeable. But, he walked way too quickly. We had a very difficult time keeping up with him. Other than that, we enjoyed the experience, but it really would be better at a slower pace. At one point on The Strand, Michael was a full block ahead of us & we thought we had lost him.”
Ride through central London, hear grim tales from Westminster, Old Bailey, Smithfield, and the Elephant Man’s London, then walk Jack the Ripper’s murder trail. Guides such as Magnus, Alan, Andrew, and Sinead bring the stories to life. The tour ends near the Sherlock Holmes Pub, with food and drinks extra.
“The tour is interesting. It starts with a bus ride through town to see some of the top tourist spots (Big Ben, Westminster) which was an added bonus. Then you get off & Magnus takes you through the streets where Jack the Ripper’s victims were found & their back stories. However, there was not much Sherlock Holmes covered in the tour which was a bit of a disappointment.”
Spend three private hours with an English-speaking guide and black-cab driver visiting BBC Sherlock locations across Southwark, the City, Euston, and Westminster. You’ll see 221B Baker Street, Speedy’s Café, St. Bart’s Hospital, and the site linked to Sherlock’s staged death.
“Very nice and pleasant tour with Eva, our wonderful and passionate guide, and Sue, our amazing Black Cab Taxi driver. We loved this VIP tour and recommend it to any Sherlock fan!!”
Pick a landmark, a river boat or a day out west.
