Have you started your Christmas shopping yet? (!)
In the run-up to Christmas 2012, The Daily Constitutional will round-up the best of London shopping…
Unique boutiques, markets, one-man and one-woman bands, as well as the finest big London names.
Pollock's Toy Museum is a joy at any time of
year. But at Christmas, it really comes into its own.
Benjamin Pollock was the last of the Victorian
Toy Theatre printers and this famous London institution takes its name from
him. Originally at Monmouth Street, Pollock’s has been at Scala Street W1 since
1969.
Dolls, toy theatres, board games, teddy
bears, the shop is a cornucopia of traditional toys.
The museum itself is an eccentric delight
with six rooms and three staircases (!) packed with historic
toys and games.
If you've forgotten how to keep Christmas in your heart, get along to Pollock's.
