WHEN DID SHERLOCK START TO LIVE AT 221B BAKER STREET?

Sherlock Holmes moved into 221B Baker Street shortly after meeting John Watson. They were introduced by a man that knew both of them were looking for a roommate to share the expense. Holmes lived there from 1881 until 1903.


Who was Watson in popular culture in Sherlock Holmes?

Dr. John H. Watson was Sherlock Holmes' friend, companion and "colleague". He was an army doctor who served in Afghanistan, and after the case The Sign Of The Four, he married Miss Mary Morstan, heiress to the great (and now, lost) Agra Treasure. He met Holmes via an old acquaintance who told him that Holmes was looking for a flatmate, and consequently they moved into 221b Baker Street together. However, Dr John Watson only lived there for a few years, moving out after he married Mary. After Mary's demise and the Great Hiatus, he moved back in with Holmes until he re-married sometime early in the 20th century. A common misconception about the doctor's identity is that he was the great detective's assistant: however, that was never the case. Watson only helped his friend when they reached the point of action in most cases, and that was only because Holmes asked him to help (knowing that Watson missed the thrill of the war).
