The Sherlock Holmes Museum is the most popular privately run museum in London, dedicated to the legendary detective Sherlock Holmes. It is situated at 239 Baker Street, near the north end of Baker Street in central London close to Regent's Park.
The Georgian town house which the Museum occupies as "221b Baker Street" was formerly used as a boarding house from 1860 to 1936, and covers the period of 1881 to 1904 when Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson were reported to have resided there as tenants of Mrs Hudson. The Museum is run by The Sherlock Holmes International Society, a non-profit making organisation.
In reality, this building had a different street name and number in the days of Holmes's creator, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Even today, the actual street address is 239 Baker Street, and the museum uses the fictional 221B address only by special permission of the City of Westminster.
Nevertheless, this spot is worth a visit, and is a good starting point for fans of Sherlock Holmes when visiting London.

I have been at this very museum once and I have to say it was lovely.... nice video indeed and the music of course awesome...loved it.
I love the video and the song is... beautiful. Thnx ^^
Thank you! Nice ID!
Wow...it looks like Holmes and Watson just went for a walk or something and will be back any minute-almost like you're intruding. If I ever go to England, the Holmes museum is at the top of my list of places to see.
Trust me, the house is so well re-created that for a moment I thought it was all real! Later, an attendant had to point out to me that it is a made to look alike house. :)
