Let's get this party started
A Sherlock Holmes Murder Mystery themed Christmas Party at the DoubleTree Tower of London Hotel
While you and your guests settle down to enjoy a delicious three course Christmas dinner, news of a murder comes through and the drama unfolds, and the killer is sitting at your table. Which one of you is guilty?
Ahead of the party, some of you will have volunteered as suspects. We’ll have already supplied some info — their character, a dastardly motive, an alibi and a plot-twisting secret.
There’s a fully-costumed ‘detective’ quizzing ‘the suspects’ between courses. Listen for clues and study the evidence because after dinner, you’ll take a guess at the culprit. Who did it? Why? And how?
You'll have half a bottle of wine each at dinner, or you can choose to upgrade to all inclusive beers, wines and softs to keep the drinks flowing all night long. After dinner has been enjoyed and a murder has been solved. Relax and chat in your dining room, or take to the dance floor! If you fancy trying your luck at Blackjack or roulette, the casino tables are open, complete with professional croupiers.
Private Dining Rooms & Group Sizes
Due to the interactive nature of the murder mystery, your group will be allocated their own private dining room. This enables you to benefit from all the intimacy and privacy of your own space, whilst still gaining access to the amazing shared entertainment after dinner.
We require a minimum of 15 people per group at this venue, of which, 8 to 12 will play the part of suspects. Any guests above this number need not be left out though as there are plenty of jobs for willing detectives; making notes during the suspect testimonies, examining clues and trying to uncover the murderer.
This 4 star venue is situated in a great location, only 5 minutes on foot from the Tower of London, Tower Bridge and The City. The hotel also has good transport links from both Tower Hill tube station and Fenchurch Street rail station. If you fancy meeting up for a cocktail before the Murder Mystery Xmas party, we’d highly recommend Savage Garden, the hotel’s rooftop bar and outdoor terrace.

Detectives can be `undercover’ in party clothes, or you can go full Sherlock Holmes with a deerstalker hat, magnifying glass and classic suit.
Who plays the suspects in the Murder Mystery?
Ahead of the event, we’ll ask between 8 and 12 of you to volunteer as `suspects’. We’ll send them a short information sheet with their character, motive, an alibi and a fact which only they know. If you don’t fancy being a suspect yourself, don’t worry. There’s plenty of sleuthing fun to be had.
