Take a Trip to Hamleys for Easter
Started in 1760 by William Hamley who stocked his first cramped little store with every toy he could find. Everything from tin soldiers, to handmade baby rattles and rag dolls were stuffed into the little Hamleys toy store, making it a wonderland for children. Initially Hamleys was initially named ‘Noah’s Ark’ thanks to the amazing amount of animal toys William had stocked. In 1849 Harrods opened close to Knightsbridge estate agents, but by then Hamleys was a well established ‘joy emporium’ for children and adults alike. Today, both stores are exceptionally famous, each filling a specific need for consumers. |
