Of course, this is the toy shop which would have to be classified as the most famous in London, if not the UK. It is manic, so leave plenty of time to make your way through the crowds. However, we would recommend it as a must see if you have kids.
As one would expect, it is not the cheapest toy shop in the world, but when you take your child there the first impression is "magical". However, if you are budget conscious, do shop around.

This was at the request of our 9 year old and all the guide books including Time Out classified it as a great place to go. (someone needs to do a reality check and visit this tired old place again!) Well maybe it is great if you are under 10 and find any of it at all believable. Our daughter did enjoy it, but the three adults found it tedious and boring.
You are on your feet for the better part of 90 minutes, walking around recreated scenes of London, with some acting. I felt really sorry for the people who had queued for hours outside.
Tip is that you can buy tickets on line and go to the priority queue. It is also potentially cheaper to do it this way.
Tip the queues get really long in the holidays and during the morning.
