For many years, a Blue Plaque marked the exact location of one of most famous addresses in literature - 221B Baker Street.
The Blue Plaque has recently been moved further north from its original location to accommodate development (if you peek throught the construction fencing you can see the former space) and to allow the Sherlock Holmes Museum the honor of owning this address.
The Blue Plaque read as it would for any other famous person:
221b
Sherlock Holmes
Consulting Detective
1881-1904
Visiting the doorway is free, but there is a £6.00 fee for the museum.
