Hamleys Toy Shop London (Regent Street)

With seven floors of gadgets and gizmos, the cute and the cuddly, the fun and the educational, Hamleys (‘largest toy store in the world') is a Mecca for the young and the young-at-heart. If you can't find what you came for it's most likely because of the diverting nature of all the flashing, talking, animated toys and games or the jostling crowds of noisy, over-excited kids.

Hamleys reviews

It's the best toy jungle ever for adults and children. But TOO expensive - you can get the same toy and have change left in other stores.

My husband and I went to Hamleys last weekend and it was unbelievable! We had a great time and spent hours going through all the different floors. It's a truly magical place for both adults and kids. Very well staffed too.

We travelled from the US this summer and one of our priorities was visiting Hamleys. While the costs were much higher than in the US, we had a great time playing and participating in all of the demonstrations. What a wonderful place!

Wow! Toys galore! A bit more expensive than other shops, but all the toys were great.

Mahjong set great but instructions badly translated and unreadable. Even then there was no effort to tell how to play. Result: unusable game.

Hamleys is brilliant. Best toy shop in London.

Much more expensive than the competition.

Spent 4 times more than I had planned simply because I just couldn't resist the amount of new gadgets on display and the excellent personalised service you get even in peak hours. Indeed, the best shop I've been to in a while.

Fantastic! One of the best shops in the world! (probably)

A friend of mine won a competition which allowed us to stay overnight at Hamleys and I must say it was one of the best nights I have ever had.

I purchased three bubble guns and two did not work. When I emailed about the problems, I was not contacted. Looks like customer satisfaction is not a priority.

Hamleys online is not as good as experiencing a visit to the store - it's a must.

Tres tres expensive. Apart from that, great!

I used to love it but now the prices are so much higher than anywhere else and my kids get completely overwhelmed by it.

It's obviously a huge store with a great range of products but the size and its attraction for tourists means that it can take ages to get around and a while to be served. Prices are quite high too.
