Secrets of Baker Street 

Baker Street is one of London’s most notable roads, famous of course for being the location of 221B; the home of Sherlock Holmes.
There’s a lot more to discover along Baker Street though, including daring tales of WWII espionage, an audacious bank heist, and a 1920s women’s detective school.
There’s a link with The Beatles too, and in this video I’ll be taking you on a tour of all of these historic sites- plus much more…
Thank you so much to all of you who support my channel with kind words, shares and likes; all of which really do help my work.

Baker Street Station Buffet by Sir John Betjeman:
Early Electric! With what radiant hope
Men formed this many-branched electrolier,
Twisted the flex around the iron rope
And let the dazzling vacuum globes hang clear,
And then with hearts the rich contrivance fill’d
Of copper, beaten by the Bromsgrove Guild.
Early Electric! Sit you down and see,
’Mid this fine woodwork and a smell of dinner,
A stained-glass windmill and a pot of tea,
And sepia views of leafy lanes in Pinner -
Then visualize, far down the shining lines,
Your parents’ homestead set in murmuring pines.
Smoothly from Harrow, passing Preston Road,
They saw the last green fields and misty sky,
At Neasden watched a workmen’s train unload,
And, with the morning villas sliding by,
They felt so sure on their electric tripThat Youth and Progress were in partnership.
And all that day in murky London Wall
The thought of Ruislip kept him warm inside;
At Farringdon that lunch hour at a stall
He bought a dozen plants of London Pride;
While she, in arc-lit Oxford Street adrift,
Soared through the sales by safe hydraulic lift.
Early Electric! Maybe even here
They met that evening at six-fifteen
Beneath the hearts of this electrolier
And caught the first non-stop to Willesden Green,
Then out and on, through rural Rayner’s Lane
To autumn-scented Middlesex again.
Cancer has killed him. Heart is killing her.
The trees are down. An Odeon flashes fire
Where stood their villa by the murmuring fir
When ” they would for their children’s good conspire.”
Of their loves and hopes on hurrying feet
Thou art the worn memorial, Baker Street.
