Step into the London of Sherlock Holmes.
The streets of Victorian London were the perfect hunting ground for the world's greatest detective. Behind respectable front doors lay dark secrets. Fog drifted through gas-lit streets. Hansom cabs rattled across the cobbles while criminals, policemen, politicians and ordinary Londoners crossed paths in the busiest city on Earth.
This book explores the real London that inspired the adventures of Sherlock Holmes.
From Baker Street and Scotland Yard to the Inns of Court, the docks of the Thames and the shadowed alleys of the East End, discover the people, places and institutions that gave Arthur Conan Doyle the setting for his unforgettable detective stories.
Inside you'll discover:
- Victorian London's streets, districts and hidden corners
- The real places behind the Sherlock Holmes stories
- Crime, policing and the birth of modern detective work
- Baker Street, Scotland Yard and the criminal underworld
- The science and technology that made Holmes possible
- How Victorian London helped create the world's greatest detective
Explore the science of Victorian crime detection, the rise of forensic medicine, London's police force, its criminal underworld and the rapidly changing city that Holmes and Watson called home. Along the way, you'll uncover the real locations behind many of the famous adventures and discover how fact and fiction became so closely intertwined that visitors still search for Sherlock Holmes's address more than a century after his creator first introduced him to the world.
Blending history, biography and literary exploration, The London of Sherlock Holmes reveals the remarkable Victorian capital that shaped the greatest detective in fiction.
Whether you are a devoted Holmes enthusiast, fascinated by Victorian London or simply curious about the world behind the Baker Street mysteries, this richly illustrated journey offers a fresh perspective on one of literature's most enduring partnerships.
