This is 231-243 Baker Street in London.

In the middle is the fictional 221b Baker Street home of Sherlock Holmes - now a museum.

This is the exterior of The Sherlock Holmes Museum - 221b Baker Street. Including the shop.

You buy your tickets (that leaflet) in the shop, then the "Policeman" lets you in to Sherlock's home.
