After 30 years in business, the Sylvanian Families Shop closed in April 2023 when its owners Taylor and Rose Timbertop retired.
The long-adored Sylvanian Families toys have been putting smiles on the faces of children – and adults too – since the mid ’80s. But how could they not? The little fuzzy, flocked plastic creatures are adorable and reek of nostalgia, with an array of retro countryside settings, including manors, cabins, windmills and other fairly middle class locations, to house more than 60 different animal families. This shop in Highbury stocks the lot, plus a few discontinued and rare items to boot.
