Reviews for Pollock's Toy Museum

Not the easiest of places to find- a detailed map is needed to locate this particular gem, unless a handy taxi driver locates it for you. Another fabulous find included in the London Pass, the maze layout of the Pollock Toy Museum enhances the feeling of exploration. Unfortunately this means it is not wheelchair friendly, and may prove difficult for the less mobile (my gran would determinedly struggle through but require medical assistance after) which is a shame as the array of toys on show is wonderful. As a nod to their global visitors, there is a selection of older toys from various countries across the globe, each displayed in a different segment (the displays are not merely contained within rooms but span the entire building- walls, stairs and all!). May not be suitable for the younger children who would prefer to just play with the toys, but a joy for the older children and the little child hidden in every adult.
