Sherlock Holmes Museum, UK

Not only the houses of real, but also of fictitious persons, can be very attractive for the tourists. A good example of this is the memorial room of Sherlock Holmes. The unique museum is located in London, at 221b, Baker Street. Right here, according to the works of Arthurs Conan Doyle, lived the outstanding detective and his friend, Dr. Watson from 1881 to 1904.

It must be noted that when Conan Doyle wrote his novels, there was no house № 221b on Baker Street. It is much later, when the road was extended, appeared. The legendary number has been built in the Victorian style. The museum was opened in 1990. On four floors of the old building is presented a rich exposition dedicated to the great detective and the work of Arthur Conan Doyle.

On the ground floor of the building is the small souvenir shop, and on the first floor - the beautiful living room, where the atmosphere of the last century prevails. On the second floor were the rooms of Dr. Watson and Mrs. Hudson. On the last floor you can see an interesting collection of wax figures. The descriptions presented in the novels served as main prototypes in the design of the rooms, so the followers of the writer can find all the objects that appeared in the stories in the rooms. Although no one has ever lived in the house Sherlock Holmes, the building remains very attractive for the followers of the unusual excursions and the creation of Arthur Conan Doyle.
