London Regent Street Shops, Hamleys, Picadilly Circus, Leicester Square / London Vlog @west end.
The West End of London (commonly referred to as the West End) is an area of Central and West London containing many of the city's major tourist attractions, shops, businesses, government buildings and entertainment venues, including the West End theatres.
Use of the term began in the early 19th century to describe fashionable areas to the west of Charing Cross.[1] The West End covers much of the boroughs of Westminster and Camden.[2]
While the City of London, or the Square Mile, is the main business and financial district in London, the West End is the main commercial and entertainment centre of the city. It is the largest central business district in the United Kingdom, comparable to Midtown Manhattan in New York City, the Gangnam district in Seoul, Shibuya in Tokyo, Sol in Madrid or the 8th arrondissement in Paris and EUR in Rome. It is one of the most expensive locations in the world in which to rent office space, just behind Silicon Valley's Sand Hill Road.

Hamleys Toy Shop | Regent Street, London | Full Walkthrough | November 2019 | Shop With Me UK
Hamleys is an Indian-owned British multinational toy retailer, one of the oldest and largest in the world. It is currently owned by the Indian company Reliance Retail.
It was founded by William Hamley as Noah's Ark in High Holborn, London, in 1760, it moved to its current site on Regent Street in 1881. This flagship store is set over seven floors, with more than 50,000 lines of toys on sale. It is considered one of the city's prominent tourist attractions, receiving around five million visitors each year. The chain has 25 other outlets in the United Kingdom and also has more than 90 franchises worldwide.
Hamleys is the oldest and largest toy shop in the world. It is named after William Hamley, who founded a toy shop called Noah's Ark at No. 231 High Holborn, London, in 1760. Ownership of the shop passed through the family, and by the time it was operated by Hamley's grandsons in 1837, the store had become famous, counting royalty and nobility among its customers.
A branch at No. 200 Regent Street was opened in 1881; the original High Holborn shop was destroyed by fire in 1901 and was subsequently relocated to Nos. 86–87 High Holborn. The Regent Street branch later expanded to Nos. 188–196.
In 1938, Queen Mary, consort of King George V, gave Hamleys a royal warrant. During the Second World War, the Regent Street store was bombed five times. In 1955, Queen Elizabeth II gave the company a second royal warrant as a toys and sports merchant.
Hamleys was bought in June 2003 by the Baugur Group, an Icelandic investment company. When Baugur collapsed, its stake in the toy store was taken over by the Icelandic bank Landsbanki. In September 2012 Groupe Ludendo, a toy retailer based in France with shops also located in Belgium, Spain and Switzerland, bought Hamleys for a reported £60 million. In October 2015 it was reported that Groupe Ludendo was negotiating the sale of Hamleys, possibly to a Hong Kong company owned by a relative of the owner of department store House of Fraser. It was subsequently purchased by C.Banner, a large Chinese footwear and fashion wear conglomerate based in Nanjing.
In May 2019, Indian retail company, Reliance Retail, part of the Reliance Industries, announced that it has acquired Hamleys for £67.96 million (around ₹620 crore) in an all-cash deal.

Walk around Hamleys London 2016
Hamleys is one of the premier toy stores not only in London, but in the world. Proudly located on Regent Street, it is both the oldest toy shop in the world and the largest one in London. There are plenty of great large retail stores in the city, Harrods, Fortnum & Mason, Liberty, Selfridges, and more, but none quite like Hamleys. Its history and renown is such that the store brings as many tourists to it as some of the city’s monuments. Whether you’re going for yourself or your kids, here are some interesting facts to enjoy while you browse Hamleys seven floors.
Oldest in the World
As mentioned, Hamleys is, in fact, the oldest toy store in the world. William Hamley formed the store as “Noah’s Ark” in 1760 and carried everything from rag dolls to tin soldiers. By 1837, it was already a London landmark and, then owned by Hamleys grandsons, saw even Queen Victoria as a patron. The current store opened in 1881 and soon went from only two floors to a total of seven. In addition to stores in Glasgow, Cardiff, and Manchester, Hamleys has stores all over the world including Russia, Abu Dhabi, South Africa, Mexico, and even the United States.
Temporarily Closed
As the world faced the Great Depression, Hamleys was hard hit as well and closed in 1931. Walter Lines then bought the store and worked hard to re-open it and bring back customers. Groupe Lendendo currently owns the chain, though it was rumoured that it was planning to sell to a Hong Kong based corporation in October 2015.
Mascots
Hamleys has a pair of mascots, giant bears named Hamley and Hattie.
2014 was London’s Year of the Bus and Hamleys decided to celebrate in its own unique fashion. The store constructed a bus stop on Regent Street made entirely out of LEGO bricks. Over 100,000 bricks were used to construct the stop that was part of Transport for London’s celebration of the Routemaster bus. It took fourteen days for Duncan Titmarsh, at the time the UK’s only certified LEGO Professional, to construct the stop. More than just a display piece, the LEGO bus stop actually served nine routes and remained in operation from 19 June to 15 July, 2014.
Bombs Can’t Stop Them
Hamleys was hit no fewer than five times by German bombs during the London Blitz, but the store remained open for business. Staff wore tin hats and served customers out of the front door, rushing in to get the toys and making the exchange back at the front.
Hamleys has been granted Royal Warrants twice. Despite the patronage of Queen Victoria, the store would not receive its first Royal Warrant until Queen Mary issued it in 1938. Queen Elizabeth would follow with another in 1955.
The Benefits
Hamleys employees, even the sales associates, get some pretty sweet deals for working in the shop. Besides the typical discount on merchandise, employees get their birthday off, can receive an interest-free travel loan, and even a contributory pension plan. It certainly must be appealing as the main store has 335 staff members.
Different Toys for Different Floors
Each of Hamleys seven different floors is stocked with different kinds of toys. The ground floor is almost exclusively reserved for stuffed animals and you can find everything from the traditional teddy bear to exotic animals and near life-sized giraffes and elephants. Interactive toys are in the basement, games on the first floor, preschool toys on the second, girls’ toys on the third, hobbies on the fourth, and boys’ toys on the fifth. The store stocks 450,000 toys of over 10,000 varieties.
Green with Envy
Plenty of stores would love to be in business for over 255 years. To celebrate the 250th anniversary, the store threw a massive VIP party and unveiled a Green Plaque. The Westminster City Council bestows its Green Plaques on buildings where famous individuals lived and worked. They are green to set themselves apart from the Blue Plaque Scheme present in other parts of Greater London. The plaque is dedicated to William Hamley and was unveiled in February 2010.
Everyone Comes to Hamleys
The store on Regents Street gets over 5 million visitors per year.

Regent Street London Walk - Prestigious West End Shopping Street | England
A first-person perspective London walk tour of Regent Street in the West End.
See all the sights as Watched Walker (yes, I’m talking about myself in the third person) takes us on a walking tour through the streets of London, featuring shoppers' favourite Regent Street. The route starts by Oxford Circus Station, heading south along the popular shopping street, finishing at Piccadilly Circus Station.
Sights seen along the tour include the many retail stores situated on Regent Street, including Apple Store and Hamleys, and a man performing yoga/exercising in a store window display.
And in each video I've hidden a blinking eye, can you spot it? (It could appear more than once). In addition to the blinking eye, I've also added the Watched Walker logo to various scenes–it could be on buildings, vehicles or any other objects, so keep an eye out for it too!
