THE SHERLOCK HOLMES PUB RESTAURANT - LONDON
"Watson! The Brew is afoot!"

With a new big budget movie in theaters, Sherlock Holmes will be all the rage in London again with Holmes fans seeking a fix, hopefully not the 7 percent solution kind but of the amber liquid that comes in a pint. Literary mystery fans must not miss throwing back an ale at The Sherlock Holmes Restaurant & Pub in London. To soak in a bit of London and Sherlockiana , have a meal with Arthur Conan Doyle’s famous detective, or at least his many guises which adorn the walls, get a table at this London landmark. A few blocks from Trafalgar Square on Northumberland Street (see also Tattershall Castle Steamer Pub) around the corner from Charing Cross Station and across the street from Old Scotland Yard .

The Sherlock Holmes Pub has been around since 1957 and boasts a re-creation of the Holmes and Watson Baker Street rooms study next to the restaurant. The display is one left over from a Holmes World Festival in 1951. Two other version of the rooms of Holmes and Watson can be found at the Holmes Museum on Baker Street (see Sherlock Holmes London Museum) and in all the way in Switzerland near Interlaken at the Reichenbach Falls (see Sherlock Holmes Museum Meiringen) where Doyle got the idea to try to end his character's career. Holmes was of course a fictional character and only never visited London pubs in disguise (see Sherlock Holmes Hotel), yet locals gather at happy hour on the street outside to bend an elbow and jaw about the latest mystery of the day’s daily news. Congregating outside pubs in London is a common scene since the smoking ban chased London imbibers outdoors. But with London’s notorious weather don’t forget your deerstalker cap and your Brolly. © Bargain Travel Europe
