- I am glad to say that there is a Sherlock Holmes museum on Baker Street,
- it's at 231 Baker street (I visited it once, last summer). It is just up
- the road from 221b (Abbey Nat.) and is great. I would recomend any fans
- of the Master to visit it.
- It is called the '221b Baker Street Museum'.
