It may not be quiet for long, though, as fans can now find its once-secret location on Google Maps. As [spotted](https://twitter.com/ChrisHewitt/status/790495052367814656 "undefined") by an eagle-eyed fan, Dr. Stephen Strange’s New York City lair is not quite so secret anymore. As a likely tie-in to the upcoming movie, which stars [Benedict Cumberbatch](http://time.com/4511407/tom-hiddleston-benedict-cumberbatch/?iid=sr-link1 "undefined") as the Marvel superhero, when you search for “[Doctor Strange’s](http://time.com/4291786/doctor-strange-trailer-benedict-cumberbatch/?iid=sr-link1 "undefined") Sanctum Sanctorum” in Google Maps, it brings up the location at 177A Bleecker Street in Manhattan. Google classifies the location (which is actually occupied by a deli) as an “Association or Organization,” which just so happens to have Marvel.com as its web address. Fans have been leaving reviews for the [Doctor](http://time.com/4496007/doctor-strange-benedict-cumberbatch-transformation/?iid=sr-link6 "undefined")’s services on Google, despite the fact the Google version of the Sanctum Santorum is even less real than the [LEGO version](https://shop.lego.com/en-US/Doctor-Strange-s-Sanctum-Sanctorum-76060 "undefined"). > [](https://twitter.com/ChrisHewitt/status/790495052367814656) [_Doctor Strange_](http://time.com/4420799/benedict-cumberbatch-doctor-strange-trailer/?iid=sr-link9 "undefined"), which also stars Tilda Swinton, Rachel McAdams, Mads Mikkelsen, and Chiwetel Ejiofor, open in theaters on Nov. 4. \[[_Entertainment Weekly_](http://www.ew.com/article/2016/10/24/doctor-strange-sanctum-sanctorum-google-maps "undefined")\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4542437/doctor-strange-google-maps-sanctum-santorum/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4542437/doctor-strange-google-maps-sanctum-santorum/"},"headline":"You Can Find Doctor Strange’s Sanctum Sanctorum on Google Maps","datePublished":"2016-10-24T15:20:42.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:37:55.705Z","description":"So much for secret lairs","url":"https://time.com/4542437/doctor-strange-google-maps-sanctum-santorum/","keywords":["Newsfeed","movies","Marvel","Google Maps","Benedict Cumberbatch","doctor strange"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt13efa3dd19598227/6988ab3b524fc0a72ddf9f48/dr-strange.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt13efa3dd19598227/6988ab3b524fc0a72ddf9f48/dr-strange.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"dr-strange","caption":"Doctor Strange","creditText":"Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures; Google","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4542437/doctor-strange-google-maps-sanctum-santorum/","name":"You Can Find Doctor Strange’s Sanctum Sanctorum on Google Maps"}}]}] ```
