Where Shall We Meet?: Sherlock Holmes Hotel
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Two and a half million people go to Madame Tussauds every year. Why is their business. Assuming that you will not be joining your pet tourist on this particular jaunt you had better take not the first, not the second but the third cab you see to Dr Watson's bar in the nearby Sherlock Holmes Hotel in Baker Street. The walls are decorated with gushing letters from satisfied customers. They can't have used the bar is all I can say. Service is elementary. Spirits pounds 2.50, minerals pounds 1. No wine: 'This isn't a wine bar. The nuts may well be very nice. They never arrived. They are, however, very liberal with the bookmatches which are adorned with a silhouette of the Great Detective and make nice kitsch souvenirs. Pub hours.
Dr Watson's Bar 108 Baker Street W1 (071-486 6161)
