Observation: None of that furniture is from the old flat.
What really struck me is how few personal effects John has. Just like when he stayed in the tiny flat before meeting Sherlock. He’s just staying there, not really living. It’s not home.
Furniture looks second-hand; is that at least 3 bottles of alcohol in the cabinet?; baker street-esque wallpaper.
He’s drifting. Stuck in a kind of purgatory. He’s clinging to a little bit of the past but he can’t live in it, nor can he move on.
Oh John.
He’s got his coffee mug that we saw in ASIP on the coffee table. And I am happy though, to see that it isn’t a completely depressing area. There’s a lot more natural light compared to Baker Street.
And wasn’t that the pink phone in the box?
