Visit the Iconic Sherlock Holmes Museum in London
Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson are iconic detective characters created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. According to the stories, they resided at 221b Baker Street in London between 1881 and 1904. The building at 221b Baker Street has been transformed into a museum dedicated to the life and times of Sherlock Holmes. The museum interior remains faithful to descriptions found in the published stories. This historic site is “listed,” indicating that it must be preserved due to its architectural and historical significance. Notably, the first-floor study overlooking Baker Street has been meticulously restored to its Victorian-era origins.
