Well, I did say it could be twice £850 a month! :)
Baker Street is in REALLY central London, just a couple of turnings off the major shopping centres of Oxford St, Bond St and Regent's St. You *pay* for that sort of thing.
And given that the house has not be refurbished and remodelled within an inch of it's life (not to mention the decor), I always sort of assumed she inherited it.
My mother's [who is about the same age as Una Stubbs] grandparents owned and lived in a three storey Georgian townhouse in London but by the 1950s there was a different family (of the family) living on each floor. Grandparents on the ground, one of thir sons, his wife and children on the first and another of their children, partner and (grand)children on the second, as though they were flats.
And 221B doesn't seem to have an internal front door, so I kind of assumed it was the same sort of use of a townhouse. Does that make sense?
