Summary

The London of the late 19th century was home to both Arthur Conan Doyle and his famous detective Sherlock Holmes. This book looks at some of the many locations in both central and outer London that have connections to one or both of these famous names. In addition to examining the history this book also looks at some of the theories that have been woven over the years around Holmes and these locations.
