    What a way to explore our own city - LOVED it!

    My partner and I tried the new Sherlock Holmes themed hunt as we both love a fiendish mystery to solve, and it did not disappoint! We had a brilliant time cracking the clues and exploring the Baker Street area, and even as long-time London residents we discovered some amazing locations and super interesting details that we never knew existed. It was really easy to set up, and the clues were so well written that we felt like we were in an episode of Sherlock - so much so that when the twist came (if you know, you know!) we gasped so loudly people started giving us funny looks in the street! 😂 I must also commend the Locked City team on their amazing customer service - we experienced a small technical hiccup during our hunt, but it was resolved super quickly and didn't affect our enjoyment or time at all. Overall, this experience was amazing value for money and an afternoon really well spent exercising both our brains and legs! I can't recommend it highly enough and have already convinced several of my friends to give it a go.

    Sherlock Holmes The New Recruit London Adventure Hunt: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.

    How much does Sherlock Holmes The New Recruit London Adventure Hunt cost?

    +

    Prices start at $68 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in London usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Sherlock Holmes The New Recruit London Adventure Hunt take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in London is not rushed.

    Is Sherlock Holmes The New Recruit London Adventure Hunt worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in London, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Sherlock Holmes The New Recruit London Adventure Hunt?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Sherlock Holmes The New Recruit London Adventure Hunt suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Sherlock Holmes The New Recruit London Adventure Hunt?

    +

    Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in London can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in London and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Sherlock Holmes The New Recruit London Adventure Hunt start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central London within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in London?

    +

    London's best attractions split cleanly: the museums are free and need no booking, so the paid market is about views, theatre and getting out of the city for a day. That makes value scoring unusually important here, and the Outty Ranking penalises anything charging premium prices for access you could get for nothing. On Outty we rank every London experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Great British Rock and Roll Walking Tour, Soho Music & Historic Pubs Tour, London Small Group Tour of Historical Pubs. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit London?

    +

    May to September for long evenings, December for the Christmas markets. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in London?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Sherlock Holmes The New Recruit London Adventure Hunt?

    +

    Included: Clues sent to your phone via WhatsApp. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Sherlock Holmes The New Recruit London Adventure Hunt?

    +

    Start your hunt outside The Sherlock Holmes Museum, 221B Baker Street, NW1 6XE. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Sherlock Holmes The New Recruit London Adventure Hunt?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    What happens to Sherlock Holmes The New Recruit London Adventure Hunt if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in London. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
