Fitzrovia

Between the wealth of Marylebone, the edgy energy of Soho and the grandeur of Bloomsbury, Fitzrovia is an area with a historically bohemian edge. Wide avenues lined with tall buildings in Victorian brick criss-crossing cobbled side streets. Over time, many waves of people from all over the world have forged a resolute sense of community in this central London neighbourhood. Frequently described as an urban village with a bohemian history, previously home to the wild and decadent - poets, writers and vagabonds, heavy drinkers and concubines. Nowadays its residents live among creative agencies, fashion HQs, television production companies, art galleries and a wide selection of shops, restaurants and bars.

Steeped in history, this family run business, passed on through generations, is a glimpse into Victorian era toys and collectables. Set within two creaky, atmospheric Georgian town houses, this time-capsule collection includes an 1830’s rocking horse, Red Indian and Eskimo toys, magic lanterns, tanks and trains, Chinese pantomime dragons, a neighbourhood of dolls houses and paper theatres from all over the world. The museum is small and values its independence. It’s not trying to compete with the big institutions like the British Museum down the road. It’s a different, offbeat kind of place appealing to a different kind of sensibility.
