Sherlock Holmes Museum

I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Sherlock Holmes Museum on the iconic Baker Street in London, and it was a fantastic experience for any fan of the legendary detective! The adventure began at the museum’s gift shop, where I collected my entry ticket. The shop itself was full of charm, offering a variety of themed merchandise—from books and cups to pens and other collectibles. A perfect spot to pick up a souvenir! After a short two-minute wait, I joined a friendly group of visitors from South Korea, and we were ushered into the museum. On the first floor, we were welcomed by a lovely maid dressed in traditional attire, who began the tour with a fascinating overview of the Victorian era and its cultural backdrop. As a doctor myself, I found our discussion particularly engaging—at one point I even joked that I felt like Dr. Watson! We explored the famous living room and Sherlock’s bedroom, filled with period-accurate artifacts that brought the stories to life. On the second floor, we met another friendly guide who introduced us to Holmes’ study and explained how the detective masterfully used disguise in his investigations. The museum was a true delight—both informative and immersive. I especially want to thank the kind maid for her warm hospitality and insightful explanations. She patiently answered all our questions and made the visit even more memorable. Whether you're a lifelong Sherlock fan or just curious about Victorian history, this museum is definitely worth a visit!

An absolutely amazing experience! Visiting the Sherlock Holmes Museum was far better than I expected. The attention to detail truly brought the world of the novels to life. The staff were fantastic — their attitude and the way they interacted with us really made us feel like we were part of the story. I’m so glad I visited, and I highly recommend it to any fan of Sherlock Holmes or classic literature

I absolutely loved it!!! If you're a fan of Sherlock Holmes, this is definitely worth a visit. Just remember to book your tickets online to avoid waiting in line—it saves so much time! The tour itself was really enjoyable, and the souvenir shop was a nice bonus. They have a lovely selection of Sherlock-themed gifts, perfect for bringing home a little keepsake. All in all, a great experience—highly recommend for fellow Holmes enthusiasts!

I didn’t actually enter the museum itself (line was too long and we didn’t purchase a ticket beforehand) but we went next door to the gift shop and it was quintessentially a Sherlock emporium of good for sale. The decor was very similar to the museum (referencing the photos I’ve seen) There is a Sherlock pub a few miles away with a replica of the room in the museum for those who want to have the experience w/o waiting in line & budgeting for a ticket. On any other trip I would have purchased a ticket and planned better but I enjoyed walking around the gift shop next door.

Pretty cool museum with plenty of interesting things to see and learn about Sherlock Holmes story. The museum itself is key small and you are a bit squishy when moving about. Lots of interesting bits and bobs to look at. There is a souvenir shop next door which was well stocked. Kids and adults will both enjoy it
