In the Sherlock Holmes novels, including A Study in Scarlett and The Hound of The Baskervilles, Arthur Conan Doyle created the ultimate investigator, and with a deerstalker, pipe and a pea-souper of a London backdrop cemented an unforgettably classic image of the city.

And the game’s afoot again, with a resurgence in interest in Holmes, Doctor Watson and their arch-enemy Moriarty. First there was Guy Richie’s 2009 film Sherlock Holmes, and new Doctor Who producer Steven Moffat’s modern reimagining of the tales is a currently bringing in huge numbers of viewers on BBC One.

Now London itself has a chance to celebrate the intrepid resident of 221b Baker Street, with The Secret Of Sherlock Holmes arriving at the Duchess Theatre for a strictly limited West End run until September 11th. This two hander features Peter Egan and Robert Daws playing Watson and Holmes, this new production from The Woman In Black director Robin Hereford offers a great night out for Sherlock fans and theatregoers alike.

We found our Sherlock in the centre of the West End Maze, which was quite handy because we were lost, and needed someone to sleuth us a way out!
