When you go to Rules, look around. Maybe Sherlock Holmes is over at Simpson's, but I'm pretty sure you'll spot Henry Higgins and Col. Pickering at Rules (while Eliza is home practicing her vowels).
And while Simpson's may be very old, Rule's claims to be the oldesst restaurant in London, starting perhaps in 1798, but certainly operating for over 200 years now.

>we do realize that he was a fictional character, right?
WE? Who's we?
One need only look at the numerous volumes of the scholarly studies of the life and times of The Master to know that the semi-documentary accounts written by John H. Watson, MD and published through the efforts of the literary agent A.C. Doyle are true.
There is more evidence that Holmes existed than there is for Moses and/or Christ.

ira, of course he was based on a real person, but that doesn't mean that when Sherlock talks about a dinner at Simpson's, it's exactly as the friend of Doyle reported it. It's still fictional writing.
