The World's OLDEST Toy Store : Exploring Hamley's in London

Hamleys is the world's oldest toy store chain. It was founded by William Hamley as "Noah's Ark" in High Holborn, London, in 1760. The store initially focused on selling toys, games, and dolls. The located I visited is the flagship store on Regent Street. I was extremely impressed with the presentation, selection of toys, and the staff who dressed up for the occasion!

That is an amazing toy store! Thanks for a fantastic tour! What a variety of toys there are available. Growing up in the 1940s & 50s, I had mostly hand made toys. My favorite was a set of building blocks my grandfather made out of an apple tree that blew over in a storm, and I still have the teddy bear my grandmother made for me 70+ years ago.

[@deborahroberts1854]

Those are special toys and keepsakes. A lot of the toys today the kids play with just for a little while and throw them in the closet.

[@ActionKid]

Thanks for watching! I couldn’t believe how many toys were here

[@hahahap9844]

who is the owner of hamleys?

[@HengMiao]

23:54 You got a picture with the Lego Queen Elizabeth II, so cool! 👑😎 Wow, I'm fascinated about Hamleys' long history (263 years ago!), and I felt overwhelmed seeing so many toys and sections inside! 🤩 I'm also impressed how everything is so neat and organized, especially with so much visitors inside the store. 👍 The staff is so friendly, and I enjoyed the Christmas performance by the Elves at the entrance. 😃 It felt like a museum, and it's nicely decorated for Christmas. 🎄 Thank you for sharing this amazing walkthrough, AK! 🤗

[@ActionKid]

Yes, I was really overwhelmed inside Hamley’s

[@rogertemple7193]

Hamley's is most definitely a very big toy store and they are probably very expensive also but a kid would get lost in a toy store like this Thank You AK.🇺🇲🇬🇧👋👋🎄🎄

[@ActionKid]

Much appreciated, thanks for watching!

[@nkechi-vivien]

They have affordable toys in there.

[@nakitatillis2715]

My kids dad would love this store and never leave. He's a 58 year old big baby 😅. He would probably definitely snatch up those star wars lego sets in a heartbeat. 😊

[@ActionKid]

Oh wow!

[@jarihult]

The biggest Toy store and the most comprahendsive toy selection that i’ve ever seen wow😯Suites for kids and adults whose are young at heart🙂Thank you for sharing A K🙂👍!!!

[@ActionKid]

You’re welcome, it’s such an amazing toy store

[@susanboatman7913]

What an amazing toy store. I can only imagine how busy these stores are going to get considering it's less than one month from Christmas.

[@ActionKid]

Absolutely, I’m sure it’s going to get very busy!

[@Gh0stly_fell0w]

Cool!

[@boazvahalla]

Yes! I did scream like that in a Toy Store. I been to the F.A. O. Swartz store in Manhattab.

[@powerpoint3990]

WOW!!! That is a amazing!! Great toy store.

[@ActionKid]

Thank you 🤗

[@MarieA1]

That’s an amazing toy store

[@neiltaylor6645]

Used to go here as a kid to pick a early Christmas present always walked out empty handed as I could not decide what I wanted

[@cammieg4381]

WOW! Mind officially blown! So glad you did a tour of this incredible toy store!

Enjoy the tour of the toy store. Watching from Jamaica 🇯🇲.

[@ActionKid]

You’re welcome, thank you so much for watching

[@peterd788]

Hamley's London is a magical place for children at Christmas.

[@carlloar9768]

Kenneth, don't let Karla know about this store. She may leave James and Hudson home and fly over to go get Lago sets😊😂👍🙃

[@monica-NJ-123]

Wow it looks like 3 levels of toy store , wonderful 😊💞💞💞🎄edit : looks like it has many floors , amazing place

[@ActionKid]

It really is incredible!

[@barrywood2806]

It's been great to see your view of the city I grew up in. You HAVE TO - no arguments - return sometime and do a Part 2. Suggestions are Portobello Market on a Saturday, the Tower of London and maybe the Churchill War Rooms, an underground WW2 HQ in the centre of London.

[@deborahroberts1854]

This toy store would be a dream come true for any kid! But I'm not sure I'd want to take any kids in there. My wallet would be a lot smaller when I came out. The Lego Queen Elizabeth was amazing. Glad you got your picture with her. Thank you again!

[@ActionKid]

I totally agree! It’s a dream come true for any kid

[@conniekimber9445]

What an amazing store. Thank you for taking us along.

[@ActionKid]

Thanks for watching!

[@nabilrashid1821]

I worked there in my 1st year of uni. The work environment was so toxic, soon as you enter back of house everyone was miserable.

[@EldhoseSibu]

Is any one no where we get rc helicopter in London and top best rc shops in London reply

[@cheyennemoyer3567]

Wow, that toy store is really old.

[@_-Cobratate-_]

Been there a few times I loved it everytime❤

[@LalliaOsa-ot7mq]

Fakers make breakfast dinso

[@stevendudley5687]

England’s answer to F. A. O. Schwarz.

[@peterd788]

F A O Schwarz was America's answer to Hamley's. Hamley's opened its first store 16 years before the USA existed.

[@johnpatterson4272]

Thank you for this fantastic video, it was grand. I was hoping to see true British toys offered like Gerry Anderson's models from all of his shows. Corgi, Matchbox and Dinky and electric train-sets made in England. Is Lego even made in Scandinavia nowadays?

[@johncorso3721]

One of the places I wanted to get to during my visit but didn’t quite make it. Thank you so much for the virtual visit to this toy store. Much appreciated.

[@hollyj7090]

[@BonnieKetterman-qw8vd]

I really enjoyed watching this fun video

[@nadiaalhajeri2239]

❤I just love this beautiful tour

[@garth8979]

Here's a fun game you can play in there. Guess who is missing when it comes to employment.

[@keithnichols7926]

I am definitely missing, since I'm 4700 miles away and couldn't afford the commute.

[@somnathsaini1732]
