Sherlock Holmes Restaurant
This restaurant is, of course, a tasteless wallow in tourist kitsch, but as a kid I'd read and re-read the Sherlock Holmes stories many, many times. I couldn't resist. For dinner I had something called "The Lestrade Special" or "The Lestrade Favorite" or some other clap-trap designation. Off the dining area was a room which was supposed to be an accurate representation of the flat where Holmes and Watson lived at 221B Baker Street. Of course it didn't mesh with what was in my mind's eye. Oh well.
