Great visit. Waiting time about 10 mins. Buy your tickets in the shop & then queue. Probably the politest place in London. People wait for you and don’t try to pass you on the stairs but wait. Amazing! You get up and down the stairs at your own pace. The stairs were no steeper than my stairs at home. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The shop is fab - full of interesting items.

Take a step back in time to the era of Sherlock Holmes. A very fun experience to see an excellent example of Georgian architecture and period antiques. Recommend that you pair with the Sherlock Holmes walking tour in London on Walks.com and stop into the Sherlock Holmes pub to get the complete Sherlock Holmes experience.

beautifully decorated but very small and had limited information/things to see and do. a character as big as sherlock holmes could have had much more but this was honestly lackluster. price was crazy expensive for what it was save your money and just go visit the gift shop

Absolutely recommend if you’re in London. It’s small but well organized and there’s great attention to detail. The museum brings Holmes to life making him larger than life. As a Sherlockian scholar I was well impressed! The staff is lovely and very friendly. You can tell they enjoy being in character. You can enjoy it in under an hour and is really worth adding this to your itinerary.

Really enjoyed here . Queueing time was short and staff are very friendly at the door , including a greeting Victorian policeman . Once inside the house is small but packed with Sherlock Holmes type artificers . The guide on the study floor was really good , knowledgeable and easy to listen to , making the whole experience a lot of fun . You’re then free to explore the other level on your own . Shop is good to . Not overly priced , and we’ll stocked with stuff you might not find elsewhere . Overall a great visit

Having wanted to visit for many years finally decided on last Sunday. Got there before lunch and already there was a queue. Despite the rain we managed to get tickets easily ( TIP: tickets before Queue) and only had to wait for about 30 minutes (normally a lot longer). They let you in small groups and you go to the 1st Floor to meet the Guide who tells you about the history of Sherlock. You are then free to go up to the 2nd and 3rd floors at your own pace. Being a Sherlock fan I recognised the scenes depicted and admired much of what makes the story credible. The house really does look like stepping back in time and the amount of history is incredible. The staff are dressed in the attire for the period and are very friendly if you have any questions. You can also visit the shop which has lots of memorabilia and other items to purchase. In all the visit was approximately half an hour and was vey enjoyable. Would visit again!

Tickets £16.00. We booked it online before our trip to London. Very polite and helpful man at the door of the museum. Obviously this is a fictional detective created by Arthur Conan Doyle so we were thrown a bit by the start for the museum tour when the lady was talking as if he was real, but I suppose it just makes it a bit more interesting, I guess. Lots of items you would expect to have found during this period of time. Rooms set up as you'd image they would look like from the books and films you have seen. It took us about 30 minutes to go around but if you were to read the information available thoroughly it would take longer. For Sherlock Holmes fans it's a place to visit.

Beautiful furnishings and attention to detail make this small museum very big in fun. Take your time and look carefully at everything on a wall, in a case, or on the floor. So clever to have the story excerpts that go along with many of the props. Makes me want to read them all over again. Acting interpreters add to the atmosphere, and are very willing to answer questions.

You've got to admire the entrepreneurship of those who run this museum. Obviously quite a bit of work has gone into setting it up, furnishing the rooms in a Victorian style with various objects which could be said to have an association with the Sherlock Holmes stories, but £16 for a 30 minutes (at most) visit is rather excessive. You buy your tickets in the shop next door and then queue outside until sufficient people are congregated to be allowed in. The guides. doorman and shop assistants are all in Victorian dress - you are led to an upstairs room where you are told about Sherlock Holmes' life in the house - as if he was a real living person and no mention of Conan Doyle. Then there are a few more small rooms and that is it.

I had a great time at the museum. They took care to recreate the rooms of Sherlock, John, and Mrs. Hudson. The staff were all lovely, a big shout out to Leslie, who played Mrs. Hudson and then was in the gift shop after. She was great and answered plenty of questions from myself and the other folks there. Having her as a guide really enhanced the rooms. So glad I finally got to take a pilgrimage to 221b.
