The Sherlock Holmes Museum
Museum in MaryleboneAdd to myTravel addedWhile lacking the scare factor, the Sherlock Holmes Museum is an absolute must-visit for me, as a devoted fan of the books. The tales of London’s brilliant detective resonate especially during the autumn season.
Back in 1881, Baker Street was indeed a real place, but there was no number 221B. The address existed purely in fiction. It wasn’t until the 1930s that the famous address materialized when the street underwent renumbering.
Since 1932, the house has been home to the Abbey National Society. Fascinatingly, a dedicated secretary was even stationed there to manage and respond to fan mail addressed to Sherlock Holmes.

How's the weather in London around Halloween?
It can be quite changeable in London in October, so if you expect a golden autumn here, you will be rather disappointed most of the time (of course, we still keep our fingers crossed that the sun will show up in between). With a maximum temperature of 16°C it is still quite mild, but you should take a somewhat thicker rain jacket with you.
Is London in Halloween only for Party People?
Absolutely not. As we have shown in this article, London offers a lot of interesting things to do suitable for all ages.
What to wear in London in October?
For your trip to london in october you should definitely think of a waterproof rain jacket, because even if we don’t wish it, it is quite rainy. Otherwise, October in London is quite mild, and you can still leave your gloves at home. A scarf, however, could not only be helpful in wind and weather, but also serve as a fashion accessory!
