Bethnal Green Museum of Childhood

Yesterday we went into London to do and see some things we wanted to do.

I went to the Bethnal Green Museum of Childhood. Which has a vast collection of old bears and toys.

I had a wonderful time. I think I took around 100 photos ( don't worry I won't post them all)

There were heaps of old bears, from Steiff, Merrythought, Chad Valley and other English makers.

As well other old soft toys animals too, and familiar faces like Noddy, Pooh bear and Pip and Squeak.

And never to mention Wilfred, whom is my latest obsession, I'm deeply in love with Wilfed.

A huge collection of wood toys, clockwork toys, tin toys and pedal cars



Noahs arks,

rocking horses
puppets
trainsets
farms sets ( I particulary loved this Nestle one which was tiny but so detailed

and an amazing collection of furnished Dollhouses , with one dating from the 1600s.

If you are ever in London , it's really worth a visit.

Sorry for the photo overload, it was just too amazing- and sorry for the dark pics- the lighting in the museum wasn't the best.
