Pollock's Toy Museum

[1] The museum was started in 1956 in a single attic room at 44 Monmouth Street, near Covent Garden.

By 1969 the collection had outgrown the Monmouth Street premises and Pollock's Toy Museum moved to 1 Scala Street, with a museum shop on the ground floor to contribute to its support.

The museum had vintage teddies, dolls' houses, rocking horses, miniature theatres, electric train sets and antique models on display.

[2] The museum continues today to be run by the grandson of the founder Marguerite Fawdry.

[4] The venue was closed, and staff and volunteers moved the stock into storage, although some of the museum's collection is divided between two pop-up locations: in the Whitgift Centre in Croydon and at Leadenhall Market.
