Sherlock, A Scandal in Belgravia (2012)

If Belgravia is not already famous enough, it enjoyed the reflected glory of appearing in a memorable episode of the BBC’s Sherlock, A Scandal in Belgravia. The cobbled street on which Holmes and Watson had one of their tiffs was actually Boscobel Place, a private residential area, just off Elizabeth Street. In 2016, a four-bedroom mews house came on the market in Boscobel Place for £5million – a step-up from Baker Street, where Holmes and Watson might find a snug two-bedroom flat for less than £1million.
