“Put me back in London….i need to breathe in the city.”Melodramatically delivered in the new BBC sherlock series, it re-affirms the characters intimate knowledge and relation with his home city. Much of it is true to be truly immersed in a place - be it new surroundings or old haunts. Or a home town. The smells, sounds and sights of where you grew up - new and old.
