If you’ve ever dreamed of turning your bookshelf into a miniature world, the LEGO® Group is about to make that a reality. On June 1, 2025, the first wave of LEGO® Book Nooks hits the shelves, and leading the charge is the 10351 Sherlock Holmes: Book Nook. This isn’t just another display set. It’s a love letter to fans of Sherlock Holmes, Victorian London, and clever LEGO® dioramas—all rolled into one.
For those unfamiliar, book nooks are custom displays designed to sit snugly between books, transforming your shelf into a gallery of tiny, brick-built scenes. And yes, built for fans, this one is as clever as the detective himself.
Two Ways to Build, Double the Fun
The 10351 Sherlock Holmes: Book Nook isn’t content with just looking pretty. It offers two distinct build options. First, you can assemble it as a closed book, complete with a mosaic cover featuring Sherlock’s iconic silhouette and a magnifying glass. Flip it open, and the magic happens: the pages part to reveal a meticulously crafted Baker Street, complete with cobblestone paths and gaslit lamp posts.
But why stop there? The alternative build turns the set into a full 18+ diorama, with both sides of the street facing each other. This is where the real charm lies. The buildings, rendered in shades of brown, grey, and brick orange, are packed with details. Remove a section of the orange building, and you’ll find Sherlock’s office, complete with a fireplace, a violin, and a clue board. It’s like stepping into a Conan Doyle novel, if Conan Doyle had a thing for LEGO® bricks.
Meet the Cast: Exclusive Minifigures Steal the Show
No Sherlock Holmes set would be complete without the man himself, and this one delivers. The set includes five exclusive minifigures: Sherlock Holmes, Dr. Watson, Irene Adler, Professor Moriarty, and a newcomer named Paige. Each figure is adorned with detailed printing and accessories that scream Victorian London. Sherlock’s torso features his signature attire, while Moriarty’s sinister grin is almost palpable. These aren’t just figures; they’re tiny, plastic actors ready to bring your book nook to life.
The Details: What Makes This Set Special
The LEGO® Sherlock Holmes: Book Nook isn’t just about the characters. The architecture is a standout, echoing the design language of LEGO® Harry Potter’s Diagon Alley. The Victorian-style buildings, the cobblestone street, and the printed Baker Street sign all contribute to the atmosphere. And, because LEGO® loves a good secret, there are hidden easter eggs scattered throughout. Spot the clue board, the violin, or the fireplace, and you’ll feel like you’ve cracked a case yourself.
