Comfort Inn Notting Hill - Bayswater
(7 minutes walk)
Located in a house at number 21-23 Craven Hill in the
Bayswater area, this Toy and Model Museum London was
re-opened in 1995 and tells the story of toys through
the ages right to the present day. |
 |
There are antique toys that still work, models of those
that don't, miniature cars, trains and aeroplanes and
even a miniature funfair from the 1920s. And for the more
sentimental, there are teddy bears galore. For the more
curious, there is a large model of a coal mine, which
had working parts with trucks going back and forth. In
other rooms on 5 floors, on display are many toys of yesteryear
right up to date, sections on Action Man and Aeroplanes
etc, in one room there is a working fairground. With the
aid of some money of course, there is even some one arm
bandits of old too. |
|
There is even, through a mock lift door
and at set times, a show and a model of the Bayswater
area. The Toy and Model Museum is open daily from 9.00am
to 5.30pm. Entry costs around £5.50 for adults.
