The London of Sherlock Holmes - Over 400 Computer Generated Street Level Photos Paperback – 17 Oct. 2011

Thomas Bruce Wheeler has devoted much time and energy to researching our capital city. After 2009's admirable "The New Finding Sherlock's London" comes "The London of Sherlock Holmes", which updates the earlier book to a degree that no other guide, I think, has seriously considered. As before, we're directed to more than 300 sites, each of whose significance is clearly and pithily stated. You can visit the locations of a specific adventure, explore the sites near each of a hundred railway or Underground stations, or take any of six walking tours in the footsteps of Holmes and Watson. But "The London of Sherlock Holmes" is ideally used in its e-book format where the map references are hyperlinked to Google Maps and over 400 photographs. As a step-by-step guide to the London of the Canon, it's unbeatable.
