London was central to Sherlock Holmes. The famous consulting detective was first encountered in the chemistry lab in St Bartholomew’s Hospital, and as everyone knows he operated out of rooms in Baker Street, from where he responded to calls for assistance from all over the capital, and from farther afield. In this talk, organised by the Sohemian Society, Andrew Lycett puts Sherlock Holmes in his context – both geographically and culturally – with reference not just to the detective himself but also to the experience of his creator Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
Andrew Lycett, a distinguished member of the Sherlock Holmes Society of London, is a respected biographer who has thrown light on the lives of figures ranging from Colonel Muammar Gaddafi and Dylan Thomas, to Ian Fleming and Arthur Conan Doyle.
