London’s Cult Sherlock Holmes Experience Is Returning For A Limited Time
Back in 2024, we stepped through the doors of 221B Baker Street and into one of London’s most extraordinary immersive experiences. Now, after two sold-out runs, The Lost Estate’s cult Sherlock Holmes experience, The Great Murder Mystery, is finally returning for 2027 – and this time it’s back for just 12 weeks. If you missed it last time, here’s why you won’t want to make the same mistake again.
In Partnership With The Lost Estate
Step inside 221B Baker Street
For the unfamiliar, The Great Murder Mystery is far more than your average murder mystery dinner. It’s a full-blown immersive world where theatre, live music, Victorian fine dining and mixology collide to place you in the middle of Sherlock Holmes’ greatest case.
You’re not just visiting Baker Street. You’re among the elite of Victorian London, summoned to 221B to hear the truth behind one of the most notorious cases of the century. Expect strange tales, peculiar experiments, music and secrets pulled from across the Sherlock Holmes canon, all wrapped up in a set so detailed you’ll forget you’re in West Kensington and not 1889.
We fell in love with The Lost Estate’s Dickensian-inspired Great Christmas Feast, and The Great Murder Mystery had that same knack for making you feel like you’d genuinely stepped into another era.
A murder mystery paired with a martini and a decadent 3 course meal is my dream night out and such a fun gift idea. Christmas has come early!

Inside Holmes’ greatest case
The story at the centre of it all is a reimagining of The Hound of the Baskervilles. It’s London, 1889, and sightings of a terrifying hound are tearing the nation apart, fuelled by lurid tabloid headlines. Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson decide it’s time to set the record straight with a press conference at 221B Baker Street, and you’re one of the distinguished guests invited to hear the truth. Nothing at a Holmes press conference ever goes quite to plan.
As the evening unfolds and the mystery deepens, it becomes clear this is no ordinary briefing, and the truth behind the Baskerville case is about to be revealed in spectacular fashion.
A feast fit for Victorian London
This wouldn’t be a Lost Estate production without extraordinary food and drink. As the press conference escalates far beyond its planned half-hour, Holmes’ housekeeper Mrs Hudson is forced to improvise, calling in a favour from one of London’s grandest dining establishments to conjure a decadent three-course Victorian feast.
Alongside the dining, guests can explore indulgent cocktails from the 221B Liquor Cabinet, inspired by forgotten Victorian manuals of mixology. The food, drinks and theatrical world all feed into the same story, rather than sitting alongside it.
I love the on-screen renditions of Sherlock, but nothing can truly beat the esteemed Victorian original in person. As a fan of Holmes and the Lost Estate, I’m putting this 1889-inspired event at the top of my 2026 list.
