Following Holmes steps.

1. Sherlock Holmes London Itinerary &
Museum
Sherlock Holmes is a famous

character who was created by
the novelist Arthur Conan
Doyle at the end of 19th
century.
Sherlock Holmes’ character

series. However, the route that we are going to
follow is based on the actual Conan Doyle´s novels.

the tube station there
are some tiles with
Sherlock’ s shape
painted on them.
Besides, a Holmes’
