An absolute hidden gem. - Looking for something different to do we searched for unusual museums and chose The BRANDS MUSEUM. This is a fantastic hidden gem. It traces shopping trends and brands, well known and long forgotten through from Victorian times until the modern-day. It suggests a timed visit could take 1-2 hours, we could have stayed twice as long. The cafe provides some tasty snacks and there is a quaint garden attached where you can sit and eat. We can't recommend THE BRANDS MUSEUM highly enough it's wonderful.😀

Fantastic visit - This is an amazing museum. My husband and I are in our 60s and it was so interesting seeing the items we remembered from our childhood and how little or much brands had changed over the years. It was well put together and we spent a most enjoyable couple of hours looking around, could have spent longer but had to visit family. Did't use the cafe but it looked clean and the cakes looked lovely. Toilet facilities also very clean.

Highly recommend - Love the museum! The journey through brands is sentimental! Polite staff, spacious and clean venue, could afford buying a souvenir as entry costs £15

Worth a visit! - Loved this museum, full of nostalgia. So many brands from childhood. Interesting to see how packaging has changed over the years. Much more plastic now. It's a good exhibition starting in the Victorian era to present day. Exhibits include foodstuffs, music, pop culture, household products, the lot. A few minutes from Ladbroke Grove tube station. Pre-booked our visit but you can go anytime. Lovely cafe too.

Good fun -worth a visit. Staff need training. - Enjoyed this museum. Loads crammed into a trail of history. This, in chronological order means you start to see things your parents had - the what you had and then what’s in your cupboard now. Welcome was amateurish and no engagement or direction. That was disappointing. Cafe shuts half way through the afternoon at 15.00 hrs. I guess it’s still developing. But a great visit.

Really enjoyable wee museum - We saw this on TikTok and decided to visit. A really enjoyable hour or so wandering through the exhibit. Lots of reminiscing (about the more recent things) and interesting to see how much things have changed. It promoted us to start chatting about things we'd forgotten about. Worth a visit.
