Seen the British Library’s new Agatha Christie exhibition in London? 🔎 📚

Running in London from 30 October 2026 to 20 June 2027, the exhibition brings Christie’s remarkable life to the page through family letters, photographs, notebooks, personal belongings, manuscripts and her 1937 typewriter.

But to discover the places that helped shape the Queen of Crime’s world, follow the trail to Torquay and the South Devon coast. Christie was born in Torquay, worked at the town’s wartime hospital, and drew inspiration from the people, landscapes and stories around her.

Eight places to explore:
📍 All Saints Church, where Agatha was christened
📍 Torquay Museum and its Agatha Christie gallery
📍 The Potent Plants Garden at Torre Abbey
📍 Cockington Court
📍 The Imperial Hotel and Torquay Pavilion
📍 Torquay Town Hall and Dartmoor
📍 The Grand Hotel, where Agatha spent her honeymoon night
📍 Greenway House and the Church of St Mary the Virgin

From beautiful gardens with a sinister side to the riverside retreat that became a setting in her fiction, the English Riviera offers a fascinating glimpse into Christie’s life and inspiration.
