A place in London
The Bar of Gold
Where the story puts it, as near as can be told.
c. 1900The Bar of GoldLower Thames StreetThe opium den of The Man with the Twisted Lip, in Upper Swandam Lane, behind the wharves east of London Bridge. Fictional; the pin marks where the story puts it.
Upper Swandam Lane is a vile alley lurking behind the high wharves which line the north side of the river to the east of London Bridge.
Visiting today
Nothing marks it: Lower Thames Street is a busy road of offices today, between London Bridge and the Tower. Nearest stations: Monument and London Bridge.
