What is the name of the street used for the exterior of 221B Baker Street in BBC’s Sherlock?

North Gower Street was used for the exterior location representing 221B Baker Street in BBC’s Sherlock. The fictional flat is the home shared by Sherlock Holmes and John Watson.

In the series, the building is associated with Speedy’s Sandwich Bar and Café, which became recognisable to viewers because it appears beneath the flat’s exterior. The real location is in London, while Baker Street is the famous fictional address inherited from Conan Doyle’s stories.

Viewers sometimes answer “Baker Street,” because that is the address stated in the programme. The question asks for the filming street, however, not the fictional street where Sherlock and Watson are said to live.
