Why it's Wildland
6.4At one of London’s most famous fictional addresses, the museum recreates Sherlock Holmes’s gas-lit world with Victorian curiosities and objects, letters and characters connected with his cases.
This is a deliberately theatrical literary destination rather than a conventional historic house: its appeal lies in stepping into the imagined Baker Street rooms and seeing how Holmes’s fictional world has been made tangible. It earns its place for Sherlock Holmes devotees and visitors drawn to London’s literary curiosities.
