The smog and the gaslights are gone, but you can still enjoy Holmes’s London In the Footsteps of Sherlock Holmes walking tour. Or try the Jack the Ripper Walk guided by Donald Rumbelow, who is “internationally recognised as the leading authority on Jack the Ripper.”
If you’d like to conduct your own Holmes walking tour of London, get advice from the Sherlock Holmes Musem: “If you seek the city of Sherlock Holmes, the fog-bound London illuminated by gaslight and dreams, you can still find it to a surprising degree. On a visit last August, I discovered that Holmes was an apt guide to London, where the game's still afoot.”
“When we have finished at the police-station I think that something nutritious at Simpson’s would not be out of place,” Holmes says to Watson at the end of The Adventure of the Dying Detective. As in Holmes’ day, the restaurant still brings a large joint of beef to your table and carves it before you.
The Visit London website is a great resource for planning your trip to London. The website’s list of top ten free attractions will give you something to do in the city that won’t cost a cent and the accommodations guide is perfect for staying within a budget.
And don’t forget to check out the Visit Britain website. The British may be a cold standoffish people, but their websites sure know how to welcome you.
