PHEWWWW. What a whirlwind weekend we had London, barely had time to pause. I’m going to be doing a few posts on the things we did/saw, hope you don’t mind. Don’t really care if you do ‘cos it’s my blog anyway…!
First stop!
We arrived in London at 9.45am on Saturday (after waking up at 5.45am, walking to the train station and tripping down on a fast leaning train) and our first stop was 221b Baker Street. Unfortunately the circle line was closed all weekend, so we had to kinda get our bearings and find another tube station, we ended up walking to Tottenham Court Rd and got the tube from their to Baker Street.
We had a specific location in mind, and that was the living quarters of that fabulous fictional detective, Sherlock Holmes. On our walk there we also past a former residence of H. G. Wells, this was turning into quite the literary excursion!
We didn’t have an incredible amount of time to spend there, so we didn’t bother going into the museum part of 221b Baker Street, instead we just browsed around the shop part. The shop was full of trinkets, curios and general over-priced tourist knick-knacks. You can see them all on the website. Quite a lot of great inspiration for some projects that I’m working on at the moment, too!
I also really loved Baker Street tube station, here are the tiles that adorn the walls. Amazing, I want these in my library (er.. when I build one) next to my giant fireplace (again with the ‘when’).
