Good pub + retaurant near Charing Cross; it seems made only for tourists , but it offers a decent selection of beers and tasty traditional dishes . Less than 20£ for a meal. A must for Sherlock' fans

Edgar E

Sticky Toffee Pudding was excellent! Great place to grab a pint in the afternoon or lunch/dinner. Great location near Trafalgar Square/Charing Cross.

Chelsea Bradley

Asked for their rec for beer , was given the sherlock holmes, a room temperature ale . Best, tastiest beer I've ever had. Fish and chips are almost an art .

Krissi Kizziar

Tired from touring . Cabbie brought us here as most pubs were full with after 5 crowd trying to catch the World Cup game. Food was fantastic. Holmes theme was fun and spot on.

Jack Jenkins

Despite the touristy name there is a good selection of beers . There is a nice non-smoking terrace if it's a little rammed inside (this is me writing in March, not July!)

Maria Ines Guaia Keeble

Love the space and the outer looks of this place. Wide selection of beers . I expected it to be a touristy spot but actually felt local and cozy .

This pub bought a collection from a Sherlock Holmes exhibition . Now it’s like a Museum . A must see.

Jen Tumey

Reservations are recommended - it gets busy and the dining room isn't very big. Worth the wait though - food was great and the drink selection is too.

Estefany Prado

Great service. Good place to try the traditional fish and chips

Lane Watson

Nice authentic English fishn chips . If u sit downstair is self order. Plenty of drinks, tap beer & coffee w muffins is £3.

Buford Douglas

1880s pub , reworked in 1957 to integrate the Festival of Britain Sherlock Holmes exhibit as a theme, including a detailed replica of Holmes' apartment .

Definitely come here if your a Sherlock Holmas fan, more seating upstairs if busy downstairs. Also have a look at the Museum before you go.

Valentina Ciolino

Quite traditional British food, nice spot not far from Trafalgar sq

Yes it's gimmicky and touristy but I loved it and my steak & ale pie was lovely 👌🏻

Tomer Moked

Fish and Chips are great, take the classic one. Lovely service

Marianne Louloudaki

The Fish n Chips along with the house ale were the perfect match!

Dave Marshall

A traditional authentic pub that serves tasty ales , pie and mash . Free wifi

TsuiRen Clover

Cozy atmosphere . Restaurant upstairs only opens at 12nn. Cute Sherlock study room :)

Lucille Fisher

Touristy but fun. Beer ok but the Beef roast was disappointing. Best part of the meal was the mashed carrots with spinach & the Yorkshire puff. The meat was tough 👎.

Tim Its

It's pretty, very popular; however, service was fast. Sadly, the food was a bit meh - I had never seen a regular slice of toast served at a restaurant or even a pub before (see photo).

Mehmet Koray Eray

It is an amazing place to have some drinks and quality time with friends. Old school kinda bar with great history...

Iryna Tratsiuk

Nice place, good vegetarian burger and ale .

John Chalkley

Sausage and mash average, was meant to come with black pudding but didn't, friend ordered fish and chip , chips were cold. Good boozer, very average food

Luca Gennari

Nice place where to have a beer and relax, close to main attractions .

Thomas Harvester

Won’t come here again! Booked a table for Xmas and they had nothing from the Xmas menu. So we ordered a Prime steak burger . It was a tiny burger in a very dry bun . Very disappointed. Don’t come here!

Valentina Ciolino

Very nice place as long as you don’t mind stuffed animals around you

Kartik S

Great pub close to Trafalgar square

Karen D

Great beer and nice pub , one of my favorites. Food's not bad, but it's more of a queue-for-your-own canteen arrangement. Try the Sherlock Homes Ale and the Steak and Ale pie .

Doug W

Good pub fare and they make their own beer . Service is pretty crap but that’s not unusual for London.

Evgeny Kulagin

If you can't find the seats - go upstairs.

Natasha 'Tashster' Brassington

Very sizable food portions mean any sleuth will have an appetite killed here. Sherlock Holmes Ale is a very strong, dark character - recommended pint whilst you visit.

Simon Barratt

You need Holme's powers of deduction to find the men's toilets !! Great place

Tim Ockwell

Traditional pub just yards away from my appointment in 1 hours time. Must drink slowly.

Aaron Ng

U-shaped Pub essentially.

Tiago Soares

Awesome place. It’s a must stop

Isabela Schlup

Great sausage and mashed potatoes with yorkshire pudding !!! Huge!!!

Cluster Fat

The Sherlock HolmesFor all the memorabilia in the pub and a reconstructed Holmes's study in the upstairs restaurant , it's worthy for any Holmesian to visit for some brain food.

Chris Du4

Sherlock Ale is AWESOME: light but tasty. Holmesian memorabilia decorates the walls. Bassett hound head creeps me out.

Seamus McQuaid

Doesn't look a very authentic pub , I suspect it has been stylised for the tourist market .

Doug Morton

Very busy, good pints and a welcoming atmosphere.

Karla Kern

Traditional pub with homemade pie

Olivier Moch

Nice place, good food... like it.

Richard P

If you sit outside, hundreds of tourists will take your picture. There's a sign saying "Sherlock Holmes" after all...

Zach Stockwell

Better than expected for such a tourist area with a tourist name.

Gavin McMillan

Order food at the bar , they bring it to your table.

Mike Bazaluk

Excellent pub food (steak pie recommended) and brilliant view of the "study"

Lia Georgiou

Food was amazing, great atmosphere!

Jackson Shaw

They take Apple Pay! Party on, baby!!

Dave Marshall

Authentic bar serving great ales

ᴡ Snedegar

If you leave behind the obvious tourist trappings this is a very good real ale pub .
