Every Sunday we’ll pluck just one walk from the vast London Walks repertoire and put it centre stage.
In keeping with
this month's Literary London theme here on The DC…
IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF SHERLOCK HOLMES
2 pm on Fridays from Embankment Tube
Villiers Street exit
There's no need to book. A London Walk
takes about two hours and costs £9 or £7 for concs. Kids under 15 accompanied
by their parent[s] go free.
"The game is afoot!" It's time to
go sleuthing with Corinna or Richard IV and their Baker Street Irregulars!
You'll explore an area whose "everchanging kaleidoscope of life"
intrigued Holmes and Watson. You'll follow their adventures in Charing Cross,
the Strand's gas-lit alleys, and Covent Garden with its Opera House and
colourful market stalls, ending, where else? at the superb re-creation of
Sherlock Holmes's study. Housed in the building immortalised in The Hound of
the Baskervilles and featuring many artefacts donated by the Conan Doyle
family, it's a place "where a dream becomes reality". And best of
all, it's free to visit!
The In the Footsteps of Sherlock Holmes
Walk takes place every Friday afternoon at 2 pm
Meet Richard IV or Corinna just outside the
Villiers Street exit of Embankment Tube
A London Walk costs £9 – £7 concession. To join a London Walk, simply meet your guide at the designated tube station at the appointed time. Details of all London Walks can be found at www.walks.com.
