British writer and medical doctor Sir Arthur Conan Doyle revolutionized the genre of crime fiction when he introduced the wildly popular "consulting detective" Sherlock Holmes and his sidekick Dr. John H. Watson in 1887's A Study in Scarlet. This fictional duo were flatmates at 221B Baker Street and since 1990 the museum devoted to them has occupied that very address! Built in 1815, the Regent's Park residence, a former boarding house, delivers an evocative experience of Holmes' Victorian-era London.
