Walking around London 2 – Finding Sherlock Holmes
Though we have heard about the 221b Bakers street, Westminster is the place, we were not sure the famous house is still there. And it was my main desire to visit there since I have promised to my wife, I’ll be visiting there and take some pictures & some souvenirs.
We got in to tube train from London to Bakers street. It was quite short trip. Ah.. It was Sherlock Holmes everywhere in the station. Portraits of Holmes and pictures of famous stories were the decorations. Even the wall tiles were designed with portraits of Sherlock Holmes.
We thought it will be easy to finding it, but we were wrong. We walked up & down of the baker’s street but we couldn’t locate the place.
Interestingly most of the Hotels, pubs were named after Sherlock Holmes.
