“Sherlock Holmes & the Baker Street Irregulars”


The Baker Street Irregulars are fictional characters who appear in three Sherlock Holmes stories, specifically two novels and one short story, by Arthur Conan Doyle. They are street boys who are employed by Holmes as intelligence agents. The name has subsequently been adopted by other organizations, most notably a prestigious and exclusive literary society founded in the United States by Christopher Morley in 1934.

The original Baker Street Irregulars are fictional characters in the Sherlock Holmes stories of Arthur Conan Doyle. The group of street urchins is led by a boy called Wiggins. They run errands and track down information for Holmes. According to Holmes, they are able to “go everywhere and hear everything”. Holmes also says that they “are as sharp as needles, too; all they want is organisation.”[1] In The Sign of the Four, which takes place in 1888,[2] it is shown that Holmes pays them each a shilling per day (equivalent to £5 in 2023)[3], and Holmes offers a guinea prize (equivalent to £113 in 2023)[3] as a reward for the one who locates the steam launch that he wants them to find.[4]
