“Of the dozen or so guides to Holmesian London, there are two that I recommend to visitors: Arthur Alexander’s Hot on the Scent and Tom Wheeler’s Finding Sherlock’s London. Nothing stands still for long…Thomas Bruce Wheeler has revised and expanded his book. The New Finding Sherlock’s London…is a guide to more than 300 sites, each of whose significance is clearly and pithily stated. The book can be used in various ways. You can visit the locations of a specific adventure. You can explore the sites near each of ninety-nine railway or Underground stations. Or you can take any of six walking tours in the footsteps of Holmes and Watson. I said of the original edition that it was an excellent traveller’s tool. The New Finding Sherlock’s London is that and much more.”
