This fold-out map leads readers through the capital as Holmes and Watson knew it - a city of gaslight, theatres, grand hotels and shadowed alleys. It traces their adventures from Baker Street to Brixton, from Pall Mall to Paddington. Real addresses stand beside the fictional: vanished lanes, demolished halls and invented squares, all layered onto the living city.
Each entry places a story in its setting, exploring both the history and the imagination that shaped it. Whether stepping into a Turkish bath on Northumberland Avenue, following a Christmas goose to Covent Garden, or glimpsing fragments of the Red-Headed League off Fleet Street, readers walk the blurred line between fact and fiction.
