Lauren Does London: 221B Baker Street
I’m a huge fan of Sherlock Holmes so I had to visit 221B Baker Street (yes, that’s the address). My sister had been to London before, so she’d already gone here, but she happily brought me back so I could check it out. There is a Sherlock Holmes Museum here where you can pay to go on the tour. I didn’t really feel the need to do so. Instead, I just visited the Sherlock Holmes Shop, which is attached to the museum. Here, you can find all sorts of fun Sherlock themed items to look at and buy. I ended up getting two pens, a bookmark, and a tote bag to commemorate my visit.
Outside of the museum/shop there is a man “on guard” with some hats next to him. You’re welcome to grab a hat and snap a photo with him, so I did! The hat I chose would make me Dr. Watson, I believe!
Whether you visit the actual museum or not, I do think visiting 221B Baker Street is a must if you’re a Sherlock Holmes fan. Just think of the photos you can get! And I do recommend checking out the shop at the very least.

There’s so much in London to do! Would like to do the Sherlock Holmes museum, look fun 🙂
What great photos, Lauren! There is so much I didn’t get to do when I was in London (just not enough time), but it would be fun to check out the store.
I would HAVE to go to the Sherlock Holmes museum!!! That would be such a fun stop. Someday I’ll get to London!
Oh, how fun! I love stuff like this. That’s one of the things I like so much about contemporaries, that I can go and find these places in real life
So much fun! I think that it would such a fantastic opportunity to be able to visit London and experience the museum. I love your photos!
This is awesome! My whole family would want to visit. My 12 year old just started watching the other Sherlock Homles with Benedict (Dr. Strange) and she loved the Sherlock books before, but loves it even more now. Thanks for sharing your wonderful visit with us!
I LOVE this!! I’m glad you had fun!
I’ve never visited the museum – or shop – as I’m not much of a Sherlock Holmes fan but it sounds like it’d be worth it if Holmes is your thing!
This looks like fun! I need to put this stop on our list if we ever make it back to London. My husband is a huge Sherlock fan but we ran out of time and didn’t make it here on our first trip to London.
