- I was in London in September and decided to walk to the only address there
- I know by heart; I was pleasantly surprised to find that 221B now
- actually exists -- sort of -- and more or less at the right location. You
- shouldn't have much trouble finding it, it's in the right block. It's a
- fairly small facility, but it has a re-creation of the sitting room and
- Holmes' and Watson's bedrooms. The entrance fee is a bit steep -- 5
- pounds. I did enjoy the visit, but I'd be interested in how it compares to
- other re-creations of the sitting room. (There is also a memorabilia shop
- across the street from it.)
