Its flagship store in London is across 7 floors with more than 50,000
toys. Located at Nos. 188-196 Regent Street, it is considered one of
the city's major tourist attractions, receiving around five million
visitors per year. The chain has several other outlets in the United
Kingdom and others 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"
in 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.
