Museum of Brands

The Museum of Brands is a small, quirky museum in Notting Hill that traces how everyday products, packaging and advertising have changed since Victorian times. Its central Time Tunnel moves visitors decade by decade through household goods, toys, magazines, food packaging and travel items, so older visitors can spark memories while children spot familiar old favourites and things they have never seen before. The museum runs temporary exhibitions alongside its permanent displays, and has family workshops and activity trails, particularly during school holidays. A café and a garden area make it easy to break up a visit. Children's birthday parties and summer events are also hosted on site. The collection is compact enough to explore in an hour or two, which suits younger children as well as teenagers with an interest in design and history.
