3 - Simpson's

Dr. Watson tells us that he and Sherlock Holmes visited one London restaurant two times. And while the gustatory habits of the famed Baker Street duo are not entirely well-documented, we have a good sense as to what they must have eaten at the famed Simpson's in-the-Strand.   This is a case of fact meeting fiction, as Simpson's is very much a real establishment in London — one that was recently in danger of losing its identity. We bring you inside this gem that dates from the 1820s as a cigar and chess divan and explore what dining like Sherlock Holmes was like.   Links   Simpson's in-the-Strand Restaurant Frequented by Sherlock Holmes May Vanish — I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere "The Illustrious Client" "The Dying Detective"   --
