Hamleys

The oldest and biggest toy shop in the world, Hamleys is nirvana for any child, and for lots of adults, we imagine. Across a whopping seven floors you'll find cuddly toys, action figures, LEGO, dolls, puzzles, a 4ft-high mountable stuffed pony (though that will set you back £860) – even the most spoilt of kids will be satisfied with the selection of fun on offer here. If that wasn't enough, the Harry Potter-themed Department of Magic is your first stop for wands, golden snitches and more chocolate frogs than you can possibly stomach.
