Founded in 1760 as a small toyshop, Hamleys moved to its present location in Regent Street in 1881. Today it's the most legendary of toyshops. Covering seven floors the store has stocked the nurseries of The Queen and her children and promises to mesmerise children and grown-ups alike. It contains everything a child could possibly want from computer games to Lego.

If you like FAO SChwartz in NYC, then you'll like this place, and it's not just for kids! Everytime I walk in there's some show going on in the front door that is completely mezmerising - go soak it up! Failing that, they have a great range of animal teddies!
