From the website:
Standing over 9' high, the statue of Baker Street's most famous resident bears some resemblance to the real Sherlock Holmes, and many Holmes enthusiasts are delighted.

The landmark statue is destined to become a major tourist attraction in its own right and will compliment the Sherlock Holmes Museum's services to London's overseas tourists - many of whom come to London especially to see the lodging rooms of Sherlock Holmes at 221b Baker Street.

And it certainly has!
