Baker Street is a street in the Marylebone district of the City of Westminster in London. It is named after builder William Baker, who laid the street out in the 18th century.
The street is most famous for its connection to the fictional detective Sherlock Holmes, who lives at a fictional 221B Baker Street address. The area was originally high class residential, but now is mainly occupied by commercial premises.
Interesting Baker Street notes -
In 1835, the first permanent exhibition of Madame Tussauds waxworks was opened on Baker Street. The museum moved, just around the corner, to Marylebone Road in 1884.
In 1940 the headquarters of the Special Operations Executive moved to 64 Baker Street, they were often called the "Baker Street Irregulars" after Sherlock Holmes' gang of street urchins of the same name.
The Beatles' Apple Boutique was based at 94 Baker Street from 1967 to 1968.
British singer Dusty Springfield lived on Baker Street in the 1960s.

Featuring originally designed cuff links (by me) manufactured in cream coloured acrylic to represent an Old London Street Sign.
In this case they show the iconic London street of BAKER STREET.
These are printed using quality methods directly onto the acrylic meaning they won't peel or scratch off; giving you an incredibly hard wearing, unique item.
The pin measures 25mm x 13mm .
As stated these are designed by me & manufactured in the UK.
I have surely attached bronze plated cuff links & the back of the 'sign' & link base is then sealed for added security.
So pretty with a touch of steampunk drama! A truly unique piece that any fan of British quirkiness or London style would be proud to wear ...
