The history of the world famous brand began in 1760, when William Hamley opened his first Noah's Ark toy store in London. They sold everything from rag dolls to tin soldiers. It took Hamley only a few decades to become one of the main attractions of the British capital. By the middle of the 19th century, when Queen Victoria ascended the English throne, Hamley's grandchildren already ruled the toy empire. The Hamleys now came with families to Entertainment Kingdom, and it was difficult to return without shopping. In 1881, the Hamleys made the historic decision to open a second store on Regent Street. Five floors of toys Hamleys is the largest store in the world. Hamleys stayed afloat well into the early 20th century, during difficult times for the British economy. It was one of the most popular locations in London during World War II. Bombs rained down on the city, and Hamleys worked. It is a well-known fact: the sellers stood at the entrance in protective helmets and, risking their lives, carried out the toys to the buyers! After the war, it becomes known that the Queen herself buys Hamleys for her children. In 1951, Elizabeth II publicly admitted: she remembers the Hamleys toys given to her by her grandmother and trusts the brand. From this point on, Hamleys officially delivers the goods to the royal court. In May 2012, the first Hamleys store was opened in Russia - in the Evropeyskiy shopping and entertainment center, Moscow. Joy and fun always reign in this huge store. Every weekend there are fun master classes, holidays, concerts. And in the magic Party Room everyone can celebrate their birthday!
