Sherlock Holmes Museum

About

Walking along a quiet alley in the City of Westminster, London, an old brass-adorned sign catches the eye. Behind it, the faintly lingering scent of pipe tobacco smoke gives the feeling as though the detective from the novels is whispering right beside you. Sherlock Holmes's office takes as its motif the fictional '221B Baker Street,' which never actually existed, yet here it becomes not a mere recreation but a space where his philosophy of deduction and way of life vividly flow. The portrait of Sherlock Holmes hanging on the wall seems to watch over visitors, lending an atmosphere as if it reveals why any single document can be read at a glance. Those who pass through this place seem to become a page of the case themselves, stepping one step further into the novel.
