This is a bronze statue and at 3m high is clearly larger than life. The statue depicts Holmes wearing an Inverness cape and a deerstalker on his head. In his right hand, Holmes is holding a pipe. A very stereotypical portrayal of the fictional detective. It's located just outside Baker Street tube station on Marylebone Road, near both the Sherlock Holmes Museum between numbers 237 and 241 Baker Street.
Definitely worth a look if in the area and combining with a visit to the equally fictional Sherlock Holmes Museum.
The impressive statue greets you shortly after you leave Baker Street Station and arrive on the walkway. It's close to 10 feet tall, and the bronze sculpt captures a beautiful iridescence on rainy days. I stopped here on my way to the Sherlock Holmes Museum, but the statue itself is erected closer to the supposed location of 221B Baker Street.
It makes a lovely photo spot (selfie or otherwise), and belongs on the must-see list of any fan of Doyle's famous detective during their tour of London. Be sure to stop by the Sherlock Holmes Museum as well.
The creation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Holmes is famous around the world for his brilliant analytical skills.
