221B or not 221B


On the 1st October I was lucky enough to visit London for the day, it was a long day, and involved an early start, busy tube trains and a lot of rain, but it was definitely worth it.Anyone who knows me knows that I LOVE Sherlock Holmes, and a trip to London was the perfect excuse to visit Baker Street, and to fangirl about Sherlock.




Of course, Baker Street wasn't the actual filming location for 221B in the BBC show, so after a wander down Baker Street and a look at all of the interesting memorabilia in the windows of the museum, we headed to North Gower Street, the real location of 221B, and of Speedy's cafe.


It was pretty strange being this close to the 'real' 221B, you can even see Sherlock's front door in the background! As a big fan of Sherlock it was amazing to visit these locations. After we were all Sherlocked out we had a wander around the rest of Central London, and on our walk we passed the Royal Courts of Justice AKA real life Hogwarts. I couldn't help but take a photo, since the rain decided to clear for a little while to show a beautiful blue sky.


I hope to go back to London again soon and explore more of what the city has to offer, but visiting 221B and Baker Street will be on my list of favourite memories for a long time to come.
