The Sherlock Holmes Museum occupies a four-story Victorian townhouse with period furniture and exhibits spread across multiple themed rooms and floors.

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.

The third floor contains wax figures depicting characters from various Holmes cases, including a scene with Professor Moriarty next to the detective.
