    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages All the toys under one roof

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Very expensive and you must wear comfy shoes to visit London

    In the October half term, my husband and I took our three ankle biters for a day out in London. One of the attractions we had to see was of course Hamleys. We saved this one till last, thinking that the children might be too tired to walk any more and we could get away with it. It wasn't to be. As Christmas is looming up fast I thought I would write a review on this well-known toyshop and help you decide where to spend your pennies over the festive period. ^^ What is Hamleys ^^ Hamleys is probably the most well known toy shop in the world. It was first opened in 1760 by a Mr William Hamley, a ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Lot and lots and lots of toys!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Gets very crowded.

    Any time I walk through the doors of Hamleys, I get a feeling of nostalgia, in the pit of my stomach. Those childhood memories return, rushing into my head, Pippa Dolls, Candy Canes and Lego. Yes, they are as vivid today as they were when I first visited this store with my parents. Within Hamley’s there is a wonderland of toys waiting to be explored. The floors tend to be themes with, models, and collectable toys, baby’s toys, dolls and soft toys each being found on different floors. One floor even has a model train moving round the ceiling, that is great to watch is you are able to stand ... more

    5 Stars wow! what a toy shop! 19/09/2000
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages enormous range of toys, well set out,helpful staff

    Disadvantages Disadvantages situated in London - not within easy reach for all but worth the trip

    I can remember going to Hamleys as a child and loving every minute of it... I recently returned with my daughter and it was still as great today as it was then (although this time round I was concious of the price of everything!) Hamleys is the biggest toyshop in London(if not elsewhere) if a toy has been made then Hamleys will stock it - the range of toys is astounding - where do you start! If a new toy has come onto the market Hamleys will be the first to stock it and they usually will have an instore demonstration to show how the toy works etc - this can be very useful as it is sometimes ... more

    5 Stars kid in a toy shop! 12/11/2000
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Five floors of joy - what a choice!!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Dangerous place to take your child and credit card to.

    Whilst in London recently my friend said she needed to pop into Hamley's for a couple of Christmas presents. As we were on our way to Harvey Nichols, I was feeling a little impatient and wasn't very happy to have to break our journey. The quick ten minute visit turned into two and a half hours of total joy - for me!! I was like a kid in a toy shop!! Correction - I WAS a kid in a toy shop. My friend had to DRAG me out of there, only to find we didn't have time to get to Knightsbridge after all. Five floors of pure fun-filled fantasies. I had an absolute ball. One thing I noticed was the lack of ... more
