Yesterday Bill said,"the toy theater is just wonderful!"

Perfect segway for me to take you along to London's Covent Garden!

Where once there was vegetable and fruit sellers, now you'll find antiques and hot chocolate (22 kinds) and...

Pollock's Toy museum.

Just head upstairs...

For a treasure trove of toys, miniatures and papercutouts.

So many DIY paper toy theatres...

Reproduced from Victorian designs. Pollock's has been making the best toy theatres for over a hundred years...

You can still buy everything essential (Pulcinella and Cinderella for just a few pounds) to put together an imaginary paper cutout world.

Victorian Times , contact, 9" x 11"

Tiny Mad Hatter's tea party miniatures can perform on your cardboard toy stage...

Plus Buckingham Palace guards...

A Bear will attend...

Wearing a pink clown's hat...

Victorian noise makers and spinning tops are provided should you get bored during the performance...

Post-performance hot-mulled wine awaits you in Covent Garden...

And a perfect plate of paella for a fiver.

BONJOUR POLLOCK'S TOY MUSEUM!
