London is the primary setting of at least half of the episodes in the series.

This is especially true about the facade and interiors of 221B Baker Street, the residence of Sherlock Holmes, Dr. John Watson and their landlady Mrs Hudson. Various London locations appear throughout the series, but the city's famous period landmarks are often relegated to the background and the focus is more on the individual streets, alleys and recesses of London.
