Sherlock Holmes Museum, Literary museum in Baker Street, London, United Kingdom
The Sherlock Holmes Museum occupies a four-story Victorian townhouse with period furniture and exhibits spread across multiple themed rooms and floors.
The Georgian building at 239 Baker Street functioned as a boarding house from 1860 to 1936 before being transformed into a museum in 1990.
The museum recreates the fictional residence of detective Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson through detailed Victorian-era furnishings and authentic period decorations.
Visitors can explore the museum daily between 9:30 and 18:00, with adult tickets priced at 19 pounds and child tickets at 11 pounds.
