It's not a great museum , it's just to give you an idea of how Sherlock and his friend, Watson, would have lived at 221B of Baker Street. It takes just 20' and, IMO, is great for a cold afternoon.

Ignacio Urrutia

One of the best "not typical museum " that I ever visited. Completely recommended!

Andrey Smuglin

Atmosphere are great

HeyTripster

Sherlock Holmes Museum , one of the favorites of Baker’s Street, contains everything about Sherlock, which is well known to crime lovers. It’s like everything Victorian is gathered in this museum . Read more

Get your pic with the staff and sit in a classic Sherlock pose. Great place to browse some old publications and buy great souvenirs. One of the highlights of my trip to London.

Diane Wilson

The detail of the exhibits are fantastic. Chat to Andreas, one of the staff/host on each floor. He's really lovely and knowledgeable . The shop is great for presents.

Karen

This museum is just so much fun. If you love the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle stories of Sherlock Holmes, you'll absolutely love this museum . Purchase a souvenir keychain - worth it!

Martina Samantha

Great museum , I definitely recommend stopping by if you are in the area. The atmosphere is amazing, the house truly recreates the spirit of Doyle's novel :)

Alex Zhdanov

hi guys :) The name is Sherlock Holmes and the address is 221B Baker Street 😍 The museum store is painfully expensive and you'll want to buy everything.

T.

Huge lines so go early. You must buy your ticket from the gift shop before entering the house. Nice place but maybe little over rated.

Sara Gasim

Love the experience especially for kids you can also buy some things in the gifts shop

Bayan AlShebel

Book your tickets in advance online and lower your expectations it’s tiny and can be finished in no more than 15 minutes

Cenk Gümüşcüoğlu

If you enjoy Sherlock Holmes mysteries and TV series like Sherlock and Elementary, you might want to visit this house. It's like a small theme park . Souvenir shop is rich. Entrance fee is overpriced.

Stephanie Orme

Fun place for a Holmes fan. Is it worth the cost of admission? Ehhh... I'm glad I went, as a longtime fan of the books , but I wouldn't need to go again.

M U

Currently 15£. But they don’t tell much and you don’t have enough time to observe the rooms and the items. The overall experience was weak for me. Anyway felt good to be in that room.

Çağlar ARISOY

İf you are in the museum you should take a selfie with sherlock holmes and you shoul buy some sourvenirs from shop but sourvenirs are average 2 times expensive than normal prices :)

H Scher

Preferred the museum at the Sherlock Holmes Pub in Winchester, but photo ops in deerstalker with pipe here are too fun and not to be missed! (Also, the gift shop is quite cute .).

Elizabeth Lee

Souvenirs are so cute : smoking pipes, mini violins and many more. Strictly for Sherlock fans . Old Victorian policeman stands guard at museum entrance.

Mamboe29

Cute and interesting museum for fans. Great for kids! Show up early as can be long cue! Buy tickets in shop next door.

P C

Pretty crowded w fans. Nice to have a peek into life in the 19th century. There's a gift shop next door too.

Kristina Garcia

No suitcases allowed in here (and no spot to hold them), so don't make this a stop on the way to the airport !

Talyta Capitan

The name is Sherlock Holmes and the address is 221B Baker Street 😍 The museum store is painfully expensive and you'll want to buy everything.

Natasha 'Tashster' Brassington

Be sure to look out for the policeman with a pipe, a deerstalker and Dr John Watson's missing hat in the doorway and go and have a photo op . moment.

Richard Gregory

Step back in time and pay a visit to Holmes and Watson's former residence for just £6 per adult / £4 per child. Do remember to visit the gift shop old boy, Mrs. Hudson will gladly assist you.

Chelsea Bradley

Can get crowded , but worth a long visit. Every room is suffused with Holmes' and Watson's doings.

The Georgian town house which the museum occupies as "221B Baker Street" was formerly used as a boarding house from 1860 to 1936.

Rebecca

Only the first level living room is authentically Sherlock. For the price of 15 pounds, you be the judge.

Holly Bassett

Check out this museum dedicated to the famous fictional detective known as Sherlock Holmes, created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle !

Tereza Šmrhová

Didn’t go inside because of the horrendous queue... however worth it even from the outside, especially for fans!

Filipa Rodrigues

Awesome place for them who like old places and antiques special them who love Sherlock Holmes histories

Pelin

Omg! Its fascinating not only you can touch real objects but also you can see them...

Time Out London

The last word in factional conceit, 221b’s study is a loving Victorian recreation and a splendid photo op . Read more

Hanna Mod

It's small, but if you take your time you will notice so many references to the books .

Credo Reference

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle : There was no 221B Baker Street when Doyle first published Holmes, but this museum is likely to now be where he imagined it so long ago.

Ezryn Zarof

Smaller than I expected but I enjoyed my trip there nevertheless.

Himeko Himura

Tickets are bought inside the museum shop. Go in there FIRST before queueing up outside.

Kelly

It is only £6/adult, £4/child, and under 5s free. I personally don't think it's worth it, but at least now I know.

Norah

If u r not that fan of the charachter just take a good photo by the door😄

Ahmad AlQaisy

Addiction!💙

Elif İnan

Every Sherlockian must visit! There're also great store in downstairs!

Katharine Robinson

In Star Trek The Next Generation Data is fond of this great detective. Data played the role of Holmes in a holodeck program, alongside La Forge in the role of Dr. Watson. Read more

Suzy

Really nice, even if you are not a fan of Sherlock Holmes :)

Lisette

One of my favourite museums with plenty irresistable souvenirs.

Bilge U

For Sherlock fans , worth to visit. For others, it might be expensive

Artur Leonel

Nice shop under the museum . There’s not much to see it, though.

Mouni Reddy

Sherlock Homes gift shop is the final shop for all your Sherlock needs.

Martin Hlousek

Tickets cost £8/adult (no student discounts ). You have to buy them in the shop. The queue was for about 30 minutes.. The visit is for about 5-10 minutes...
