Travelling to Baker Street is easy by underground train (tube) – see text. Alternatively, travel from virtually anywhere central – Trafalgar Square, Charing Cross etc – to the Baker Street area, where this walk begins, by bus. In this picture, one of the New Routemasters is making its way to north London past the St Pancras Renaissance London Hotel.

Sherlock Holmes statue by John Doubleday, immediately outside Baker Street station. It can speak to you (see text).

Plaques on Chiltern Court, on the right-hand side as you enter Baker Street from Marylebone Road.

Sherlock Holmes Museum: best to arrive as early as possible for quicker entry (opens at 0930 hrs).

2 Upper Wimpole Street.
