Apparently can't seem to find a way to use spoiler tags here so here it is:

1) Slipper, that's why it was a fun nod to canon when Benedict's Sherlock looks in it (When John has them hidden under the skull)

2) A dog got stabbed and an autistic boy takes a train to London.

3) Submarine plans of some sort.

4) Cabbies (Handsome ones to boot!)

5) 1887 - 1893 and then 1895 till ???

6) Boxing, fencing, smoking (And drugs) and later in life bee-keeping.

7) That's beyond me without cheating.

8) The Strand, 1887(?)

9) Switzerland (Alps)

10) Mathematics.
