The Sherlock Holmes Pub

"Here is the key. You can look for yourself." [GOLD]

Imagine having the key to 221B Baker Street, and what it must feel like to open that door. And imagine being trusted to keep Holmes and Watson's famous sitting room in good order. That rare honor belongs to Roger Johnson, BSI ("The Pall Mall Gazette") and Jean Upton, BSI ("Elsie Cubitt"), a well-known couple among the small community of married Sherlockians.

Jean and Roger have preserved and maintained the sitting room at London's Sherlock Holmes Pub for 30 years. Join us as we hear how the Northumberland Hotel evolved into the pub, and why Sir Henry Baskerville would have been an unlikely guest.

You'll learn the origin of the sitting room in 1951's Festival of Britain, how Jean and Roger saved it from neglect, and how it stands today after the pub's recent renovation.

Then we look ahead to Sherlockian gatherings for the last half of September in "The Learned Societies" segment. Madeline Quinones is back with "A Chance of Listening," and the Canonical Couplet quiz tests your Sherlock Holmes knowledge, with something from the vaults for the winner. Send your answer to comment @ ihearofsherlock .com by August 29, 2025 at 11:59 a.m. EST. All listeners are eligible to play.

We have some wonderful images of the pub, the sitting room, and the exhibition that led to it, courtesy of Roger and Jean and they're available exclusively for our supporters. Join us on the platform of your choice (Patreon | Substack).
