The Sherlock Holmes Society of London

The Sherlock Holmes Society of London

Founded in 1951, the Society is open to anyone with an interest in Sherlock Holmes, Dr John H. Watson and their world. It is a literary and social Society, publishing a scholarly Journal and occasional papers, and holding meetings, dinners and excursions.

The game that we play is that Mr Holmes and Dr Watson were real people and that the sixty stories are true narratives of their cases. This does not prevent us from honouring Sir Arthur Conan Doyle as the creator of Sherlock Holmes and the author of his adventures.

"The game's afoot!"

Devotees have long debated the identity of this person: was he Sherlock Holmes or not?

The handbook has been described as ‘a good read’ and ‘excellent value’.
