Diogenes Club

The Diogenes Club was a private establishment that required absolute silence at all times, unless one was in "the Stranger's Room". Mycroft Holmes was one of the founders of the club and spent a lot of his time there, presumably to allow him to think undistracted.
== The Canon Sherlock Holmes stories ==
The Diogenes Club appears in several stories, including "The Adventure of the Greek Interpreter".
== The ITV/Granada Television series ==
Main article: Diogenes Club (Granada)
The club's first and most prominent appearance in the series occurs in the episode "The Greek Interpreter", adapting the eponymous original story. This episode also features the first appearance of Mycroft Holmes.
== Sherlock (2010) ==
Mycroft Holmes was a member and Dr John Watson visited the club at his request in "The Reichenbach Fall". Of course, being John, he didn't understand the rules of silence and had to be promptly removed out of the main sitting room to Mycroft. He was also seen sitting in the same club during "The Hounds of Baskerville" when he receives the security alert that Sherlock is using his security access to break into the Baskerville Military Base. A Victorian Era version is also shown in 'The Abominable Bride'.
