This building was not always blessed with the famous address of the world's most celebrated detective - its number was changed to 221b in honour of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's creation. The rest of the museum is also very true to the fiction. You can sit in Holmes' armchair, fiddle with his scientific experiments, and examine memorabilia from his adventures. Though a very charming reproduction of the Victorian era home described in the stories, this museum is a bit pricey. Dedicated Holmes' fans will enjoy their money's worth but everyone else will prefer spending their money elsewhere. Admission is £6 for adults and £4 for children below the age the age of 16.
