Sherlock Holmes Museum

I'm back in London after about 30 hours in Paris. It's my last day here, and I still haven't been to Regent's Park. It's decided then - I'll go there, and stop by the Sherlock Holmes Museum on the way. Need to take the Piccadilly line to Green Park Station, and then take the Jubilee line to Baker Street Station.

When you see this, you know you've arrived.


The museum features period actors; this constable was having a little fun with a fellow museum patron.


Exterior of the Museum and shop, complete with a period actor.


Sherlock Holmes's bed.


Inside Sherlock Holmes's bedroom. The pictures on the wall are all famous criminals from the time.


The famous study Holmes shared with Dr. Watson.


Holmes shot the initials of Queen Victoria into the wall with an air gun.


Dr. Watson's desk.


The breakfast table.


Mrs. Hudson's room (the landlady).


Bulldog revolver in the bible of ex-reverend Williamson.


Additional displays.


Inside Dr. Watson's Room.


Apparently, Dr. Watson must have had a condition requiring him to have a loo in his room. That's it in the corner.


Another display upstairs.


More displays.


It just wouldn't be me if I didn't include a photo of Sherlock Holmes's loo.


The blue dot conveys the significance of 221b Baker Street.
