BBC Sherlock Fan Forum - Serving Sherlockians since February 2012 / Does anyone know where the staircase scene was filmed?

**Posted by SpiralStaircase** January 31, 2014 4:41 pm

I'd love to know where that spiral staircase, from Sherlock's Mind Palace, is in reality. (the one in my user icon). Does anyone know what house/place it was filmed in? Probably a difficult question but I thought I might ask in case anyone knows the location. If it was a place open to the public I'd love to visit it and run down to my own Mind Palace - ha ha!

You could ask the set designer Arwel W. Jones via Twitter. Apparently he does respont to fans, as this post demonstrates: http://ohmysaintedpyjamas.tumblr.com/post/73249635353/last-night-i-wondered-if-the-spiral-staircase-from

He did not answer my question about the bathtub either.

No worries. I really appreciated you even taking the time to ask.

And SusiGo....I'm intrigued! What did you ask him about the bathtub!

Do they do most of their filming in Cardiff then?

If it was Sherlock's?!

Oh sorry, we cross posted.
But yes, well they do what they can in and around Cardiff.
All 221B interior scenes are the Cardiff studio.
