Into The Fog: Sherlock Holmes' London

£12.00

This fold-out guide traces the real and fictional London of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's stories – where things actually were, what Doyle invented, and what you can still find today. From Baker Street to Brixton, Pall Mall to Paddington: villains' lairs, scenes of crime, grand hotels, Turkish baths, demolished concert halls and the opium dens of the Thames waterfront.

Each entry places a story in its setting, exploring both the history and the imagination behind it. The guide covers over 40 locations, including the most contested address in all of fiction – 221B Baker Street – where new research now establishes a precise and credible answer.

Written by Ron Tiner, artist and author of Investigating Sherlock Holmes, with design and illustration by Steve Shanabruch.

Into The Fog comes in a bespoke die-cut folder with a fold-out illustrated map and a postcard of the Langham Hotel – a location in the Sherlock Holmes canon, and the setting for a dinner in 1889 at which Conan Doyle received the commission for The Sign Of Four.
