3-4 Marylebone Road 3-4 Station Approach London, London NW1 United Kingdom +44 (0)20 7486 1029 http://www.fancythatoflondon.c... |
Baker Street Emporium is a souvenir shop located near Madame Tussaud's and the Sherlock Holmes Museum. It is part of the Fancy That Of London chain, which has two other stores in the city. This branch is a replica of Sherlock Holmes' office, so even if shopping is not on your mind, you can come and check out the master detective in his study. You will find bags, toys, books, caps and showpieces here, so it is almost impossible for you to leave empty-handed. Make sure you hit the store at least once while in London; it is worth visiting.

15 minutes to Heathrow |
Paddington Station (in front of platforms 6 & 7) London, London W2 United Kingdom +44 845 600 1515 http://www.heathrowexpress.co.uk/ |
Thank heavens for the Heathrow Express! No more spending a fortune on cabs or lugging bags on the tube to get to Heathrow. The train ride takes 15 minutes and it's smooth and comfortable. BBC World plays on the TV screens so you can get a quick dose of news. If you prefer total silence (no mobile phones!), there are noise-free carriages. Depending on the airline you are flying with, you may be able to check in your luggage at Paddington station. Star Alliance member carriers such as United Airlines, Singapore Airlines and British Midlands have check-in desks here. It's worth investigating if you can do this. Review © 2007, Wcities |
