The Museum of London<\/a> has a new exhibit that will have mystery lovers dusting off their passports. \u201cSherlock Holmes: The man who never lived and will never die\u201d will be on view until April 12, 2015. If you can get there by Friday, November 21, you can participate in \u201cLate London: Sherlock\u2019s City,\u201d a multipart event that includes mind games, improv, theater, and liquid refreshment. There are archaeology events, a Sherlock Holmes walking tour, and much more planned. During Dickens\u2019s 200th birthday celebration in 2012, the Museum of London offered a terrific exhibit. This promises to be as good.<\/p>\n

The Sherlock Holmes Museum<\/a> claims the address of 221B Baker Street (but is actually between 237 and 241). In Conan Doyle\u2019s day, the street did not extend into the 220\u2019s. The entity (now closed) that actually did have his address had to employ a full-time secretary to open and respond to the voluminous correspondence sent to Holmes there.<\/p>\n

Or, branch out a bit with the Mystery Reader\u2019s Walking Guide: London \u2013 Second edition<\/a>. I have the first edition (also available), and it\u2019s a tantalizing neighborhood-by-neighborhood tour where favorite fictional detectives\u2014even modern ones\u2014have encountered deadly doings. Enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
