While some stories take place outside London, such as the "The Hound of the Baskervilles" which is set in Dartmoor, Devon, the vast majority of the action unfolds within the bustling streets and fog-shrouded alleys of the British capital.
Here's a breakdown of the key locations:
* 221B Baker Street: This is the iconic home of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson.
* Scotland Yard: The headquarters of the Metropolitan Police, where Holmes often interacts with Inspector Lestrade.
* The Strand: A prominent thoroughfare in central London, often mentioned as the location of various events and encounters.
* The Thames: The river running through London serves as a backdrop for many of Holmes' investigations.
The stories are infused with the atmosphere and social complexities of Victorian London, making it an integral part of the Sherlock Holmes experience.
