About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- emz18830 contributionsA treasure trove of history!Discovered this museum quite by accident as we were preparing our trip to London and I am so pleased we found it - it is a hidden gem! It is quite literally a time capsule of all the thing you once owned or loved as a child. Toys, food, radios, tv's, games, books - you name it, they probably have it here in their 'Time Tunnel'. Wall-to-wall nostalgia and so many reawakened memories. They also have a cute little cafe and garden area but don't expect too much as food choices are quite limited but homemade which is always a plus. Their gift shop is also fun and quirky - you are almost certain to take something home with you to remind you of your visit to the Museum of Brands!Written 12 September 2024
- 525lesleyb0 contributionsamazing exhibitionmy 2nd trip in a year to this lovely museum, this time taking some friends, who loved it. Its so interesting, even more so when you hit your era in the exhibition. Lovely cafe with delicious cake and tea. Just a very short walk from Ladbroke Grove underground. So nice to get away from the really big museums and find this little gem. Really worth a visitWritten 8 September 2024
- U6665YIdavidc0 contributionsFascinating from start to finishA really interesting trip down memory lane, especially for us oldies born in the 1940s, seeing consumer goods and brands we had long forgotten about, and seeing a lot of British social history imaginatively displayed. For example I had forgotten how huge the early home video recorders really were. If there was a single standout object in the entire collection, then for me it was the original 1984 Apple Macintosh, which remains a stunningly elegant piece of design - it still looks so sleek and modern, even forty years later.Written 31 August 2024
- T254EXlynnk0 contributionsWonderful museum of memoriesWonderful museum so many childhood memories came back to see all the things we used years ago and toys we played with, the person on the counter was so lovely and so proud of this museum we enjoyed talking with him as much as the museumWritten 31 August 2024
- NorfolkHorn0 contributionsPossibly the best museum in london...This is a truly unique museam exploring the history of brands and branding from the 1800s to the present day.

- TheProbe0 contributionsLoads of stuff not much contextThere is a load of stuff from the last 200 years, but very little explanation or context. If you don't know at least some of the history of the products that people in the UK have been consuming over the last several decades I suspect you could walk through this museum very quickly without really getting much out of it. However, I did enjoy my visit, in part because I was able to discuss the stuff with a friend of a similar age, and we managed to spend more than 2 hours walking through the "Time Tunnel". One other word of warning - it's quite small, so if it is busy it is difficult to get close enough to the stuff to appreciate it. Luckily the other people didn't linger too long.Written 17 August 2024
- Gilmond_Simons0 contributionsfavourite museumsThis museum has quickly become one of my favourite museums in London. The collection is incredibly inspiring and marvellous, featuring brands, packages, and ads from the Victorian era to today. There are so many things to see that I couldn't even finish exploring everything in 3 hours. I definitely need to visit again soon.Written 9 August 2024
- MissAGuest0 contributionsGreat History, Needs a Modern UpdateThis museum is smaller and lesser-known than most. In turn, the entry fee is lower, less time needs to be allocated, and there are some notable quality differences. We were impressed with how far back the exhibits date to, with an immense selection of vintage novelties. The newer (post-1990's) exhibits feel like a bit of an afterthought, and it was clear that the most recent update was during the era of 1 Direction mayhem. Overall, this was a cute museum- a welcome change of pace from the massive tourist museums.Written 5 August 2024
- penpitchaz0 contributionsGood Service Khun Natty and Khun VittI have a meeting at the hotel, the meeting is well-functional. The staff who take care of the meeting room was very nice, Mr. Vitt always provides excellent service every time our company visits a hotel for a meeting. The coffee break and lunch were yummy and cleanWritten 25 July 2024
- pty10240 contributionsThe worst experience at Best Western.I traveled to Portland from July 20 to 23, staying for three nights at the Best Western in Lake Oswego, USA. The trip was relatively good, but my experience at the hotel was the worst of my life. When my wife and I returned to the hotel after our trip on the 21st, we could not believe our eyes. The housekeeping in our room had not been done at all. The bed was unmade, trash was not collected, used towels were not removed, and new towels were not provided—everything was exactly as it was when we left in the morning. I went to the reception desk to complain to the receptionist about our room. The receptionist politely apologized and said she would leave a note for the daytime staff to ensure this would not happen again. The next day, the 22nd, when we returned from our trip, everything was the same as the day before. The room was exactly as we had left it in the morning, with no housekeeping services performed. I complained to the reception desk again and demanded compensation. The receptionist kept saying "oh no" and apologized repeatedly, but did not mention anything about compensation. On the last day, when I checked out of the hotel, I left a complaint and a request for compensation on the Best Western website. However, I did not receive any apology or response regarding compensation from the company. I want to inform everyone reading this. If you are planning to stay at Best Western, think twice.Written 24 July 2024
- Paradise7186400 contributionsWonderful family/business hotel near the Airport in Mumbai.Airport in Mumbai.Stayed in Ginger from the 01st of May for almost close to 3months. Whatever the minor shortcomings considering its a new property of IHCL....it truly lives up to a TATA brand name...staff make up for everything that you might find a bit off. Have to mention Ms Shabana and her team for being there to sort out all my needs within their limitations. She gives more than a hundred percent for making your stay comfortable. The food is good and again they are quite flexible with an excellent executive chef leading the team. All the restaurant staff are ever so welcoming and hardworking and although it's a bit unfair to mention a few individuals,would like to thank Karthik and Gopal for making such a long stay as comfortable as possible for me. Must mention and a big thank you for out to the housekeeping staff Reshma and Ashok for their services . Finally a word of thanks to Vaishali and Anjali too for their help whenever needed. All in all a wonderful family/business Hotel in a great location in the mid-price range!! Will look forward to coming back again!! Sudip C.Written 24 July 2024
- annabelb9370 contributionsAtrocious Organisation and Ticketing from River Thames SightseeingThere are a number of Thames River Sightseeing Cruises. This one started off from Festival Pier. The tour itself was actually OK but the ticketing and information was atrocious. We were sold single tickets despite saying three times that we wanted round trip ones and we were told that they didn't allow discounts for carers (my son is disabled and I'm his carer) although apparently they do. We ended up in Greenwich, stuck there waiting for a return boat, when we had specifically requested a circular tour as we knew that we had no time to go ashore in Greenwhich.Written 24 July 2024

This museum is a real find. A well laid out and comprehensive timeline of products, packaging and advertising through the ages. Everyone, including us, was saying 'I remember those' or 'didn"t we used to have one of those'. Interesting display of the use of colour in branded packaging and how logos and brands have developed, often very subtly, over time. Recommended if you have a couple of hours to spare.

A tube trip a few stops away from central London will take you to this unusual museum. Just a few steps around the corner from the tube station and you enter the Museum of Brands, which is sitting in a rather humble position on a roadside.
Our journey began with a cabinet displaying some wooden toys, which did not have all the gloss of today's plastic dolls, but had a simple charm about them.
The museum leads you through a time tunnel, as you move from Victorian times through to modern day. The cabinets display thousands of brands through the years, from cereal boxes and toothpaste tubes through to board games and robots. I found it particularly interesting seeing how familiar household names had changed over the years.
Myself and my partner agreed that chocolate bars from wartime definitely looked more special.
We spent about an hour weaving through the time tunnel and felt the nine pound a person entry fee was fair for this quirky and memorable experience.

We had a really fun time at this museum. It's got an amazing collection of things that really paint a picture of daily life through the ages. Toys, magazines, posters, clothes, old brands of chocolate you'd forgotten about. Anything you can think of really. It starts with Victorian times and goes right up to the present day so there will be something for everyone in the group to get nostalgic about! The staff were so lovely and helpful. There is a great gift shop full of things I haven't seen anywhere else and a lovely little garden too. I'll definitely go back with my parents. You can definitely make a day of it as the museum is right in Notting Hill, just 5 minutes from Portobello Road. Highly recommend!

This is an excellent museum which takes visitors on a journey from the beginning of the 20th century up until now. Not only do they tell the history of brands but also give a wider view of British life throughout the decades. I couldn't recommend it more. It's also really peaceful and you can spend a lot of time just wandering through the 'time machine'.

We heard about this museum on a TV programme (think it was called, The Wonderful World Of Chocolate) and me and my partner both thought that it would be a very interesting place to visit when we were next in London.
Due to Covid guidelines we needed to choose our arrival slot and pay the admission fee, but this was very easy to do through the website. We found the £9 per person admission fee to be very reasonable. We were greeted upon arrival by a very pleasant lady on reception who gave us both a free annual pass upgrade (I noticed the price of this was £17 per person) which we both thought was a very generous gesture.

We would highly recommend this place. We were made so welcome by the woman on the counter who explained the whole museum and how long it would take to go through it.
The exhibits are amazing and span well over 100 years showing how packaging has changed over the years. Plus there were some great surprises like a display of radios over the years. It is all well laid out, in a logical order so that you can follow through from one decade to the next bringing back many memories as well as showing things we did not know about.
A bonus was meeting museum owner Mr Opie who took time to speak to us and ask us about our visit. He is a most interesting man.
We are so glad we bought an annual ticket as we need to go back again and again to absorb everything. A perfect visit for us and our children.

Spent a wonderful hour and a half walking down memory lane at London's Museum of Brands.
A really amazing and comprehensive collection of packaging, memorabilia, products and social history all set out in chronological order.
It brought back so many memories of childhood and reminded and informed us of eras in UK history.
Loved the artwork and seeing the changes manufacturers made in order to get people to notice and buy the products.
There are good areas to sit outside the actual museum and displays and a really beautiful garden at the back.
made to feel welcome and safe by the staff with clear guidelines for social distancing.
I have friends in wheelchairs and all the exhibit is easily accessible.
the loos are clean and spacious
There is a small shop too with quite a few nice mementos and presents and cards and things.

Absolutely brilliant, nostalgia in heaps, it got us all talking about the past for a long time. We all loved the museum, the time tunnel was the best and a lovely cafe . We had a very informative talk about some of the collections and would recommend anyone to visit . A great way of keeping the past for future generations who might learn a lot from it especially about old packaging there were no plastic disposable products and everyone stored products in tins, everything was made to last a very long time so perhaps we could look into the past to have a new future

We had recently organised a trip to the Museum of Brands for our marketing creatives, and our entire team had a fantastic time. We were met with very friendly staff who had gone out of their way to plan an interesting talk about the history of the museum before letting us explore.
The museum itself is filled with thousands of everyday objects from throughout recent British history, painting an incredibly unique window into every day life through the generations. From a team of marketing creatives, being able to see the changes in design was of particular interest, but anyone could enjoy the objects on display.
We would absolutely recommend anyone with even a passing interest to visit the Museum of Brands, it is a truly unique attraction amongst London's museums.

Great little museum near Portobello Market. Looks like it's tiny on the outside, but you could spend hours in this packed museum full of brands. It begins with consumer products like newspapers and memorabilia from early 1800s and as you travel through the displays you go through the decades. Everyone will connect with their own decade, for me it was the seventies and eighties. Lots of products that I had long forgotten. You can't fail to fondly reminisce at the thousands of items on display. Old adverts are played out as well. They also have a quiet little garden out the back.
