| From Hyde Part, we went to the Sherlock Holmes Museum. It is a lovely
museum, for all those fond of the famous author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
It is a house, a few stories high, which is the embodiment of the
home of the famous detective, Sherlock Holmes, to the finest of details:
from the famous pipe and hat, to "evidence" maintained in large aquariums,
furniture, pictures, etc... Very impressive. The museum is on Baker
Street. Admission fees are charged. Open daily between 10:00 and 18:00.
In the vicinity of the museum you'll find Oxford Street, the most
famous shopping street in London. Keep in mind that it is a very expensive
shopping street. If you are looking for inexpensive shopping, you
will be able to find plenty of stores which offer clothing, footwear,
house utensils and so on, in the northern outskirts of London. If
you want to "feel" the real London, pay at least one visit to Oxford
Street, regardless if you intend on buying something or not. You'll
find everything there, including every thinkable famous store. Another
cheap place to do your shopping, other than the one mentioned above,
is the Petticoat Lane market, which is on Middlesex Street, and is
open to the public on Sundays, from 9:00 to 14:00, and is highly recommended.
