    Detective London

    You can start your journey in the footsteps of the detective queen from two points: from London or from the resort town of Torquay (if you've already reached the coast). The first is for those who live in the capital and want to explore Agatha Christie's places for longer. The second option will appeal to those who prefer to follow a chronological sequence. Either way, you're sure to enjoy the adventure.

    22 Cresswell Place

    Agatha Christie moved to the big city with her first husband and settled in Kensington at 22 Cresswell Place. The building originally housed a stable, but in the late 1920s Agatha bought it back and rebuilt it. The time she spent in her first London home proved very productive. It was here that one of the series of books about Miss Marple and the acclaimed detective novel Murder on the Orient Express were written.

    58 Sheffield Terrace

    In 1934, Agatha Christie moved to another house and sold the former one to new owners for just £500. At this time the writer had divorced the lovable Archibald and married Max Mallowan. The building at 58 Sheffield Terrace became the writer's family home and the cradle of her most popular novels. The houses are easy to find, each bearing a blue plaque that reads 'Dame Agatha Christie lived here'.

    Brown's Hotel

    On the way, treat yourself to tea at Brown's Hotel. This elegant five-star hotel is considered the prototype of the Bertram Hotel, where Miss Marple investigated another murder in her novel of the same name. Nothing could be more British than that!

    St. Martin's Theatre

    A walk through Agatha Christie's memorabilia is worth a visit to the St. Martin's Theatre. It was here in 1952 that the play The Mousetrap was staged, which broke all records for the number of viewers. The writer herself repeatedly came to evaluate the production and admitted that she really enjoyed writing for the theater. On stage, the characters of her novels come to life and the audience gets a chance to find the murderer themselves right in the middle of the action.

    The Cross Keys

    Most roads through Agatha Christie's sacred sites lead to the West End theatre district. This is where the writer's once favourite hangout is located. The eclectic pub, The Cros Keys, opened as early as 1703. Since then, it has been frequented regularly by London bohemians. Agatha Christie was among the first, and later passed the baton to publicist Dylan Thomas, singers Bob Marley and the Rolling Stones.

    Agatha Christie memorial

    Just a five-minute walk from the former Detective Club, there is a monument to Agatha Christie. It is a bronze sculpture in the shape of a book with a bust of the writer on the cover. Crowds of tourists can often be found there, frozen in awe-inspiring silence.

    Oriental Dragon Restaurant

    In the 1930s, in Chinatown, Agatha and a group of other writers founded the "Detective Club" - a kind of private society of crime story enthusiasts. The initiation of members of the club was very funny: everyone who wanted to say the oath on a human skull, nicknamed Eric. The essence of the pledge was that the main characters of writers' books must solve crimes solely by the power of their minds, i.e. without the help of mystical revelations. During the meetings club members discussed story lines, deduced the canons of the detective genre and enjoyed the local cuisine. The site is now home to Oriental Dragon, a Chinese restaurant.
