Journeys taken by Holmes and/or Watson
 
 
Telegraph Office to 46 Audley Court, Kennington Park Gate - by cab (A Study in Scarlet)
 
 
 
 
Lyceum Theatre to the home of the Thaddeus Sholto - by four-wheeler (The Sign of Four)
During this journey Holmes rattles off the roads as the go, "Rochester Row, now Vincent Square. Now we come out on the Vauxhall Bridge Road." "Wordsworth Road, Priory Road, Lark Hill Lane, Stockwell Place, Robert Street. Cold Harbour Lane."
 
Home of Thaddeus Sholto to Pondicherry Lodge, Norwood - by four-wheeler (The Sign of Four)
 
 
 
This journey took Holmes and Watson across Streatham, Brixton, Camberwell and then into Kennington Lane east of the Oval. They then went left through Bond Street and Miles Street where it meets Knight's Place. On to Nine Elms and Broderick and Nelson's timber-yard (which threw Toby and they had to back track). When Toby picked up the scent again they headed towards the riverside. They carried on through Belmont Place and Prince's Street. At the end of Broad Street they discovered a small wharf and landing stage with Mordecai Smith printed in large letters.
 
 
 
221B Baker Street to Camberwell (Mrs Cecil Forrester's) and return - Watson walked this journey at least twice to update the ladies on the progress of the investigation (The Sign of Four)
 
While in pursuit of the Aurora and Jonathan Small, the boat went "through the pool, past the West India Docks, down the long Deptford Reach and up again after rounding the Isle of Dogs". Past Greenwich on to Blackwall and finally to Plumstead Marshes.
 
Three people, Godfrey Norton (cab), Irene Adler (landau) and Sherlock Holmes (cab), did this journey. Norton went via Gross & Hankey's on Regent Street. Each paid the driver extra money to do the journey as quickly as possible, within twenty minutes.
 
This was the occasion when Holmes and Watson were trying to get Irene Adler to show them where she had hidden the photograph.
 
Holmes took the king of Bohemia to Briony Lodge in the hope of retreiving the photograph from Irene Adler.
