SIGHTS IN LONDON - London 2015 - page 99

re-create the famous cover photo, shoot the crosswalk from the roundabout as you face
north up Abbey Road. Shoes are optional.
Nearby is Paul McCartney's current home (7 Cavendish Avenue): Continue down
Grove End Road, turn left on Circus Road, and then right on Cavendish. Please be dis-
creet.
The Beatles Store is at 231 Baker Street (Tube: Baker Street). It's small—some
Beatles-logo T-shirts, mugs, pins, and old vinyl like you might have in your closet—and
has nothing of historic value (open eight days a week, 10:00-18:30, tel. [phone],
www.beatlesstorelondon.co.uk ; another rock memorabilia store is across the street).
Sherlock Holmes Museum
A few doors down from the Beatles Store, this meticulous re-creation of the (fictional)
apartment of the (fictional) detective sits at the (real) address of 221b Baker Street. The
first-floor replica (so to speak) of Sherlock's study delights fans with the opportunity to
play Holmes and Watson while sitting in authentic 18th-century chairs. The second and
third floors offer fine exhibits on daily Victorian life, showing off furniture, clothes, pipes,
paintings, and chamber pots; in other rooms, models are posed to enact key scenes from
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's famous books.
