75 Years of the Sherlock Holmes Society of London

"the celebrated Mr. Sherlock Holmes" [SCAN] The Sherlock Holmes Society of London marks its 75th anniversary in 2026, and today we talk with coordinator Ashley Mayo about the year-long celebration, and his deep-rooted connection to the world of Baker Street. Ashley gives us a grand tour of the 2026 program, including Victorian-costumed pilgrimages in the Swiss Alps, a special event at Hammersmith's Riverside Studios, a weekend symposium at the University of Cambridge, and much more. You'll also hear about his introduction to the Society at the landmark 1987 centenary dinner for A Study in Scarlet, and how his passion for Sherlockian scholarship led to the creation of "The Scrapbook," a digital archive that provides easy access to decades of articles from the Society's Journal, organized by case and theme. Our "Learned Societies" segment kicks off with Sherlockian society activities coming up in the first half of July. Then, it's a new edition of "Examining the Pictures," with the film critic, journalist, and author Christian Monggaard, BSI, as he reviews Sherlock, Jr. Finally, the Canonical Couplet quiz will test your Sherlock Holmes knowledge, with a set of Sherlock Holmes Society of London coasters for the winner.
