History:
According to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, writer of the Sherlock Holmes series, Sherlock Holmes and Doctor John H. Watson lived at 221b Baker Street in London between 1881 and 1904. This museum/house is located in the same physical address and is protected by the UK's government due to its "special architectural and historical interest." The house was built in 1815 and is open as a museum dedicated to the life and times of Sherlock Holmes. The interior has been faithfully maintained for posterity, exactly as described within the published stories.

This is so awesome! I like the movies, but I LOVE the BBC mini series Sherlock. If I ever visit London this will definitely be on my list of tourist attractions. If only Benedict Cumberbatch was also part of the museum...
