Chelsea Toys

In between the Fulham Road and Kings Road, down a quiet side street, Chelsea Toys (formerly Traditional Toys) is a treasure trove of wooden toys: cars, trains, planes, helicopters, trucks, puzzles and building blocks, all beautifully crafted. These are the kind of timeless toys that won't need to be replace just because the next Buzz Lightyear has come along. It's the total antithesis of all the plastic, battery-powered playthings that saturate the toy market today but land high on the toy scrapheap tomorrow. Everything from beautiful castles to musical boxes, Peter Rabbit to Winnie the Pooh is here. Kids will love playing with the dolls, teddy bears, dress-up clothes and games - just try getting them to leave.
