The Adventure of the Empty House
In Arthur Conan Doyle's short story "The Adventure of the Empty House" (1903), Sherlock Holmes investigates and solves a locked-room murder which took place at No. 427 Park Lane (the old numbering), and which is referred to as the "Park Lane Mystery". The story is set in 1894. The writer Jasper Fforde refers to the street and its "Monopoly" square in his novel "The Eyre Affair" (2001), via the character Landen Parke-Laine.
