baker street station in central london is a busy interchange station on london's underground.
naturally,it is always crowded with wokers from nearby offices.
it also attracts many tourists because it is the closest station to madame tussaud's,london's world-famous wax museum.
inside the museum you can find wax models of actors,singers,politicians,historical figures and many other famous people.
but for many people,baker street means only one thing:221b baker street was the home of sherlock holmes,the world's best-known fictional detective.
sherlock holmes and his faithful friend dr.watson were characters created by the writer sir arthur conan doyle.
the first stories featuring holmes and watson were published in the strand magazine in the 1890s.
sherlock holmes solved crimes and mysteries by using his talent for detailed observation and logical thought.
he claimed he could tell any man's profession simpley by looking closely at his fingernails,coat sleeves,shirt cuffs,shoes and the hardness of his hands.
the sherlock holmes stories were enormously poplar.
altogether holmes and watson appeared in about 60 novels and stories.
eventually,conan doyle got tired of writing about holmes and wrote a story in which he died in an accident,hoping this would be the final episode.
sherlock kolmes fans,however,were furious.
conan doyle received so many bitter complaints that he had to write another story in which holmes miraculously survived the accident,and continued his career as world's most expert private detective.
the sherlock holmes stories are still hugely popular todey,with new editions of the books appearing as well as television and movie adaptations.
there is even an inter national sherlock holmes society.
it organizes many special events for fans of the great detective,such as trips to places mentioned in the books,including visits to the place in switzerland where holmes was almost killed.
no.221b baker street actually exists,and has now been turned into the sherlock holmes museum.
it is a perfect recreation of the house described in the stories,containing holmes's armchair,his famous hat,pipe and magnifying glass.
there is even an actress playing the part of mrs.hudson,holmes's housekeeper,who welcomes visitors.
even if you have never read a sherlock holmes story,a visit to the museum will give you a chance to see a perfect example of a house in victorian england.
