It appears that the official Sherlock escape room in London has shut down. I last visited in July in conjunction with an event put on by the Sherlock Holmes Society of London. However, in November, a Reddit poster reported that, when trying to book a slot to visit, there was no response to the phone number or email address. I had a similar experience — when emailing, I got an immediate auto-response, but no actual follow-up. Comments on that same post report an announcement that the owners "have decided to commence liquidation proceedings" as well as a former worker claiming co-workers were still owed payment. As well, Google Maps lists the venue as "Permanently closed". I very much enjoyed the three times I got to visit, and I will always treasure my picture in "Sherlock's chair". It's not a terrible surprise that, eight years after the show last aired, there isn't the same audience (although the Mind Palace Bar was enjoyable, even without playing the game). I hope the materials are archived somewhere, and not lost to time.
