Review: In Finding Sherlock’s London Thomas B Wheeler lists an astonishing 200 Sherlockian sites, both by adventure and by the nearest Underground station, identified, as Mr Wheeler says, ‘with humble detective skills, a 1902 London street map, and a large magnifying glass’. The book is essentially a gazetteer, to take along on a tour of Holmes’s London — a pilgrimage of several days. Every location has the appropriate, accurate information from the Canon, but for full detail and exegesis you should have Arthur M Alexander’s Hot on the Scent to hand.
(Mary Morstan’s name is given twice as ‘Morrison’, but that’s the only error I’ve spotted.) Finding Sherlock’s London is an excellent traveller’s tool.
