The pavement on Baker Street: Saint Petersburg, Zamkovaya Street

Sadovaya St., 2, Saint Petersburg, Russia, 191023

At different times, a marker, Miss Morsten, and Holmes himself in a sailor's outfit walked along this cobblestone. This place holds the record for inconspicuousness. After all, from Holmes's windows, we are shown only a piece of the pavement and nothing more. Without the director Igor Maslennikov's hint, it would have been almost impossible to find it.

In the film “The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson,” in the episode “The King of Blackmail,” the marker, Miss Morsten, and Holmes himself in a sailor’s costume walked along this cobblestone at different times.

This place holds the record for inconspicuousness. After all, from Holmes’s windows, we are shown only a piece of the pavement and nothing more. Without Igor Maslennikov’s hint, it would have been almost impossible to find it.

There is only one house on this street – the Engineer’s (also known as Mikhailovsky) Castle. The trees that grew on the lawn between the road and the castle, whose branches are visible in the film, were cut down for the 300th anniversary of St. Petersburg, in the early 21st century.

Despite major transformations around the castle, the pavement has remained untouched.
