Pollock's Toy Museum Trust · London
This quirky Georgian townhouse museum displays historic toys, dolls, and toy theatres across creaky rooms connected by narrow staircases. It feels like exploring a Victorian collector's magical attic. The tiny museum shop sells traditional toys and paper theatres.
