London's hidden museums and libraries
The quirkier and unsung enclaves of curios in the capital
Museum of Brands, Packaging and Advertising
The Museum of Brands, Packaging and Advertising in Notting Hill is a kaleidoscopic shrine to one man's obsession with hoarding biscuit tins, washing powder boxes, royal wedding souvenirs and 10,000 more examples of consumer goods.
This 120-year history of consumerism, culture, design, domestic life, fashion, folly and fate, is presented as a magnificently cluttered time tunnel of cartons and bottles, toys and advertising displays.
