    Now its time to see a famous location from the BBC Sherlock series. Remember the scene where Holmes and Watson have just met and are having dinner. They spot a suspicious taxi, Watson leaves his walking stick behind, and they run through the streets trying to catch the Taxi. We will make a stop at that very restaurant!

  3. 3

    The site of Molly's laboratory, and the first place Holmes and Watson meet in the new BBC show, and also in the traditional books by Conan Doyle. This is also the location of the famous scene where Holmes jumps from the building after confronting Moriarty.

    About 40 minutes

    The area of Russell square has a long association with writers. The Bloomsbury Group were based here, and so too was Arthur Conan Doyle in 1891. We will pass Sherlock's home before he moved to 221b Baker Street, and go to the spot where Mike Stamford met Dr Watson in the BBC series Sherlock.

    For many people this is the highlight of the tour. The 221b Baker Street in the BBC series "Sherlock". There will be plenty of time to pose for photographs outside the house, and even enjoy a drink or snack in Speedy's Cafe. On the walls of the cafe are photos of the cast and crew from the show.

    The meeting point for fans from all over the world. This statue was commissioned by the Abbey National building society who occupied 221 Baker Street. They received so many letters from around the world they had to employ someone to deal with the requests.

    Located in Baker Street the Sherlock Holmes Museum is set out as the home Sherlock and Dr Watson share with Mrs Hudson. It matches exactly the descriptions given by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Your guide will end the tour here and leave you to enjoy the shop and museum.
