  One can simply guess the popularity of a fictional character when there is a long queue waiting to enter the house (now converted into a museum) of that character and same is the case with Sherlock Holmes Museum. The place is not exactly located at 221B Baker Street. The whole place has been given an ambience of Victorian era with all the people working at the Museum dressed in Victorian era dresses as well. There are statues of friends and foes of Mr. Holmes along with the medicine kit of Dr. Watson and library of Sherlock. Place is fun visit if you like Sherlock and knows most of the characters. There is a small shop near from where one need to buy the ticket. Some collectibles are really good for buying as well.

  Great museum with so many exciting details. And notably, the most wonderful guides! Not for a second did it feel that they're telling the same story every 15 minutes, they really seemed to be interested themselves. :) Relatively pricey, but that's reasonable. As it was said in the booklet/ ticket, the museum is most interesting if you're a fan of the original Sherlock Holmes world but it has something for everyone, everything's explained well. Even if you don't know one bit about Holmes and Watson, you can admire the huge work that's put into details to recreate an imaginary world. Take in account that you'll most probably will have to wait in a queue to get in.

  I loved this museum. The interior is very carefully furnished with old antiques, every exhibition piece is a small gem itself (especially if you're fascinated by the Victorian Era as I am!): Original one-hundred-year-old news papers, surgery tools, drawings of animal anatomy, fireplaces with real fire. The staff is always friendly, cheerful and helpful. I waited in line for about 15 minutes, which is fine and understandable considering the size of the museum. My biggest suggestion for improvement is the price, though. As others have mentioned, 15 pounds is pretty expensive for such a small exhibition. I understand that the staff fully deserve their wages, that the antiques need to be taken care of by professionals and so on. Still, for a family to pay over 50 pounds for 30 minutes inside the house is something only few can afford. Which is a shame, because Holmes' adventures are for everyone.
