Pollock's Toy Museum
Culture
It doesn’t quite feel like Christmas without the excitement of a new toy, does it? This year, why don’t you step away from your usual traditions and do something different – don’t conform to the norm trawling the shelves of Hamleys or flicking through the Argos catalogue. Get the ultimate experience and visit Pollock’s Toy Museum in the heart of Fitzrovia.
This quaint museum will take you back in time as soon as you enter, with nostalgic smells and familiar toys from your childhood patiently waiting on the antique shelves for you to visit. The faintly-lit room and old, creaky staircase is like something out of a Christmas Carol, making it the perfect place to go with kids this season to really get in the spirit!
As well as a mixed assortment of old-fashioned and once-loved wooden toys and china dolls on display, there is also a retro toy shop where you can bring a slice of tradition home with you to remind yourself of the good-old days before digital amusements took over!
Explore this one-of-a-kind toy museum, all six rooms of it, and create a new tradition for you and your children this Christmas!
