At your work Christmas do, not feeling the cannerbays.

Why not get a pick me up with McDonald's limited edition chicken Big Mac

our iconic Big Mac sauce and Gertens or not. Only available till the 3rd of January.

So from 11 a.m. subject to availability.

There is arguably no more well-known address in all of London than one in which its most famous

resident never actually existed. I'm of course talking about 221B Baker Street, the fictional home of Sherlock Holmes.

In fact, the address itself did not exist at all when Sir Arthur Conan Doyle first conceived it.

According to the original stories, the fictional detective lived at the Baker Street address

between 1881 and 1904. But that address didn't actually exist in 1887 when Doyle

published the very first Sherlock Holmes story, a study in Scarlet in Beaton's Christmas annual.

Back then, Baker Street's address is only one up to the 100s. But the character of Sherlock Holmes has proven so popular and so timeless

that the city actually renumbered the street in order to

incorporate a real 221 B Baker Street and that very same address is now the

home of the official Sherlock Holmes Museum, which was opened in 1990 by the Sherlock Holmes

International Society.

If that's not confusing enough, whereas the actual address of the museum is now 221B.

The real, true address of the museum is 239, Baker Street.

But since the 1930s, so many fan letters were pouring into the city address to

221B that Westminster eventually gave in and allowed a special plaque to be put up on

the front of the building declaring the address as 221B, which is all just a way of showing

you the enduring power and influence of the character of Sherlock Holmes.
