The Museum of Brands - A Must Visit!

Ellie Ellie has stumbled upon a gem of an attraction in the Capital that is definitely one to be enjoyed and put on the to do list!

Located near the world-famous Portobello Road Market is the Museum of Brands, Packaging and Advertising, a treasure trove of retro designs and memories, two of Ellie Ellie's favourite things!

Walking through galleries full with oddities and wonders, every decade is documented at every turn and you can see brands from the 1890s, such as Rimmel or Mars Bars, Rolos and KitKats from the 1930s. Items displayed in this museum are bound to get you thinking and imagining how people lived and shopped back in the day!

The museum moved to London in 2005 after previously being situated in Gloucester and continues to attract visitors and expand year on year!


 Opening times are:
Tuesday - Saturday: 10am-6pm
Sunday: 11am-5pm
Monday: Closed (except bank holidays)
