You enter the restaurant and you know exactly what a place like this is about to offer: a little bit of Sherlock Holmes atmosphere to appeal to tourists--and food that ranges from acceptable to downright hideous. (Do NOT order the beef unless a saw accompanies it!) The wait staff is completely overwhelmed, though they do try. Perhaps the pub downstairs... more

London is the city of thousands of pubs, and it is difficult to find a bad one. One of my favorites is the Sherlock Holmes. It has good food, a satisfying variety of adult beverages, and a pleasing atmosphere. The main attraction, found on the second floor, is a rendition of Holmes’ and Watson’s sitting room and study. The only... more

The Sherlock Holmes Public House and Resturant is a bit of a touristy place, but being that I am a tourist I loved it. I've stopped in several times over the years, the last being the summer of 2008, and never had a bad meal. First the traveler needs to be aware that there are two floors. The ground floor... more

we visited here as part of a ticket meal upgrade on the original bus tour. It is really dreadfull, smelly, dirty and the fish and chips were dreadfull - we could have done with a hammer each to crack open the dried up fish !! you even need to get a key to discover the delights of their smelly toilet,... more

My name is Glenda and I am from Melbourne, Australia. Recently, I visited London with my friend, Ingrid. We went to the Sherlock Holmes Pub for lunch. Ingrid and I both ordered the battered fish and chips. The fish was delicious... When Ingrid got up to get some more lemon to squeeze on her fish, she returned to find her... more

Many years ago we went to London for the weekend and went for a drink in this pub, we were short of time and promised ourselves next visit to london we will eat there. We have just been to London 4 weeks ago and on the Friday evening we went along hoping to dine there, but they were booked up... more

This pub is the worst! My whole bag was stolen here and nobody , especially the supervisor, cared about the whole thing. Strangely, this pub does not even have a phone for calling the police. Since my cell phone was in my bag which was stolen, I was so helpless. I asked the supervisor if he can look in his... more

As of this date, 6/24/2007, this is the only place in England where I have ever eaten. I was in London for exactly one day, on a day trip with my study abroad group from Paris. I was having a miserable time-- I was sick, it was raining and I was underdressed for the weather. A trio of us got... more

I can't believe anyone would send innocent diners to this terrible, touristy trap. The wait staff were overworked and abrupt; the food lived up to every stereotypical remark I've ever heard about British food -- watery, tasteless, greasy, you name it; we had it. Believe it or not, we were sent by our concierge at the Savoy Hotel after asking... more

as one of the major tourists pubs in London I find it incredible that the gents toilets are such a disgrace. The pub itself is okay good service with the food and drinks but my main gripe is the condition of the toilets, the urianls are hanging off the wall water everywhere and the sink well it really has seen... more
