Hamleys

Company Details

There aren’t many people in the United Kingdom, or indeed the world, who haven’t heard the name, Hamleys. Founder, William Hamley, grew up in the 1700s in Cornwall and dreamed of opening the best toy shop in the world. He made that dream a reality and by the time Queen Victoria was on the throne in 1837, Hamleys was already an established toy store and famous London landmark. Families loved to visit the store for the toys.

Hamleys is still in its famous location on London’s Regent Street where the aim is to create a world of joy and wonder for all who enter the store. These days, however, there are Hamleys toy stores all over the United Kingdom and around the world, too.
