Holme's desk... or is it?

A spare afternoon in London? Elementary my dear Watson.

最高の sleuths should 長,率いる to パン職人 Street for an investigative 小旅行する of Sherlock Holmes 領土.

First stop... Before your magnifying glass brings the world famous 221b into 焦点(を合わせる), a good 探偵,刑事 should first find where Sir Arthur Conan Doyle created his most famous character.

The man 責任がある bringing the fictional Holmes and his 味方する-kick Dr Watson to life lived a 石/投石する's throw away from パン職人 Street.

Today, his former ophthalmic practise at No 2 Upper Wimpole Street is 明確に 示すd out by its fan-tail window. And of course the obligatory 国家の 遺産 plaque that 向こうずねs like a 調印(する) of 是認.

That Holmes ever (機の)カム to life at all is 完全に 予定 to Conan Doyle's 欠如(する) of 患者s. He used the peace and 静かな, still 現在の today, to 令状 short stories.

So it was in the 塀で囲むs of this elegant town house that 探偵,刑事 Sherlock Holmes was created.

支援する to パン職人 Street and even the 床に打ち倒す of the tube 駅/配置する immortalises Holme's legend. The tiled silhouette, 完全にする with hat and 麻薬を吸う 行為/法令/行動するs as a cryptic 手がかり(を与える), pointing you in the 権利 direction.

明確に 示すd 221b (the real number is 239), the Sherlock Holmes museum is a clever 神社, rec reating the offices of both Holmes and Watson.

完全にする with roaring 解雇する/砲火/射撃s, the first-床に打ち倒す 熟考する/考慮する welcomes wannabe sleuths to try on the trademark hat and 持つ/拘留する the 麻薬を吸う whilst practising a pensive look.

The museum makes the legend 広大な/多数の/重要な fun for newcomers to Holmes and it's more like stepping into a movie 始める,決める than a museum.

In fact, the 半端物 film 星/主役にする has been known to visit and Dustin Hoffman has been seen here with his kids amongst others. Admission is £6 for adults, £4 for children, visit www.sherlock-holmes.org.uk

Make time for... The 追跡(する) for the real 221b leads fans a little その上の 負かす/撃墜する パン職人 Street.

The red and green glare of the Abbey 国家の may look like a red herring but it's not and the building society still receives up to 100 letters a week from 熱心な Holmes fans.

Those who do 投機・賭ける inside for a look around are honoured for their 探偵,刑事 work with a 解放する/自由な Sherlock Holmes booklet and postcard.
