Did you know
The real Baker Street was judged too busy to film on repeatedly, so the show shot its 221B exterior here instead, about a mile from the literary address, with the cafe's own signage swapped for Sherlock-branded decor between takes.
Local tip
It's a genuinely working cafe, not a themed attraction. Go for a real fry-up or a coffee, not just the photo.
