Scenic spot introduction:

Sherlock Holmes is a world-famous detective in Conan Doyle's novels. In the novels, Sherlock Holmes lived at 221b Baker St. In 1990, the government established the Sherlock Holmes Museum here. The entire memorial is arranged according to the scenes in Conan Doyle's novels, and completely replicates Holmes' living room and bedroom There are many Sherlock Holmes supplies in it: an old pipe, a deerstalker hat, scattered experimental instruments, a violin with only two strings left, a desk with black spots, etc., which reflect the strong Victorian style.

Attractions distribution:

The house at 221B Baker Street in London was originally built in 1815 and registered as a rental property between 1860 and 1934. Sherlock Holmes lived here between 1881 and 1902, and Conan Doyle drew heavily on this actual background when writing. In 1990, the London government vacated the house and officially established this unique museum in the world.
The structure of the Sherlock Holmes Museum is exactly the same as in the novel. Even the number of stairs from the ground floor to the first floor is the same as in the novel - 17. The same structure and careful layout make visitors feel as if they are in the scene of the novel. Many celebrities, including the Queen of England, have visited here.
No matter when visitors visit, they can see a Victorian policeman standing at the door. After going upstairs, someone will introduce the general situation to tourists. There are also some wax figures on the 3rd floor to show the plot of the novel. All emails sent to this address to Mr. Holmes will be replied by a dedicated person.
