Which fictional character lives at 221B Baker Street in London, England? A - James Bond
B - Harry Potter
C - Sherlock Holmes
D - Austin Powers
Answer: C - Sherlock Holmes 221B Baker Street was the London address of the fictional detective Sherlock Holmes. At the time the stories were published, street numbers on Baker Street did not go as high as 221. However, if you visit 221B Baker Street today you’ll find the Sherlock Holmes Museum, which was opened in 1990. But the museum is not, technically speaking, located at 221 Baker Street. In fact, there is still no 221 Baker Street. The museum, which includes a replica of Holmes’s flat, was allowed by special permission of the City of Westminster, to bear the address 221B – although its physical location is found between 237 and 241.
