"London that great cesspool into which all the loungers and idlers of the empire are irressistibly drained"
Dr. J. Watson
This is the landing page of the Cesspudlians of London, Ontario - the society for the study and appreciation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's immortal detective, which meets monthly here in London by the Thames River. (The "other" London). The Cesspudlian Society of London, Ontario was founded on August 8, 2015. What began as brunch with four Sherlockians at a local pub has since grown into brunch with up to 30 Sherlockians, from around the world, meeting online on Zoom. We have been joined in lockdown by new members from Hawaii, Texas, Michigan, The United Kingdom, France and Japan. In less infections times the local members meet and dine at various local eateries.
The group’s name is taken from A Study In Scarlet, where Dr. Watson describes London as “ that great cesspool into which all the loungers and idlers of the Empire are irresistibly drained.”
The Cesspudlians meet on Saturdays at noon on an approximately monthly basis ( and these days only on Zoom), to lounge and idle in good company. They can be reached at cesspudlians@gmail.com. You can follow them on Twitter too (@cesspudlians) !
