- Vintage TOY Paradise - Visiting - The Museum of Brands - In London - Full Tour - Jaw Dropping!
In today's video we take a look at The Museum of Brands in London.
What an amazing place this is. The history of UK brands, from the Victorian era right through to today are on show in this enormous museum. The display cases are literally crammed with period books, magazines, chocolates, toys, jigsaws, board games, early radios and TV's, records, food packaging, it's just endless. Items are from the famous Robert Opie collection. I was told this is just a tenth of what he owns!
If you are in London, you must make a point of visiting. The website to book tickets is right here; museumofbrands...
The Robert Opie Scrapbooks are available here, they are superb; amzn.to/40E4WNC

Nice video, I noticed top deck can drinks from the 80's, I used to love them.
Ah yes, the place is packed to the rafters. Every time I watch this I see more that I'd missed. The cans are amazing if course 👍
Superb video - fascinating collection, which Robert Opie started in 1963 (!). I recommend his 'In Search Of Our Throwaway History' DVD, which you see right at the end of the video. Spotted the 1977 Palitoy Talking Batmobile in the '60s cabinet, I blame the Time Trapper.
Thanks Andy, I didn't pick up a copy of that dvd but I'd Iike to see it. Yes, the Talking Batmobile stood out a mile. Also the UFO Ed Streker car was in the sixties bit as well but that blended in a bit better.
@@JulesBurt where is strakers car ? was it the gold dinky version ? cant find it.....
Yes, it's the gold one👍
@@JulesBurt can you time stamp ? saw a gold dinky 31 mins in, but didnt look like his car, or the box...
This might be a bit of a weird comment but thank you for recording this. This actually helped solve a bit of lost media regarding frijj bottles that hadn't been documented on the internet. This video helps prove the existance of certain bottles so, thank you :)
Fantastic, glad it helped. Those Frijj bottles are really excellent and I imagine quite fun to collect, which I'd saved all the ones I've had over the years🙂
Lovely enjoyable video, thank you. What an amazing place! So many memories triggered. I remember a lot of the Festival of Britain stuff from my mum telling me about it, she was there aged about 8. I'm your age so the 70s stuff was very evocative. The missing 80s stuff is probably down to space but talking of the oddest one-offs popping up in unexpected places, I recall seeing costumed Robin of Sherwood dolls in a toy museum in Estonia over 20 years after the series was shown. I'm not sure any visitors except me knew what they were. I have some of the books shown here, like Avengers annuals, and we know from our book collections how ink can fade in natural sunlight, it must take great care to look after even more ephemeral printed packaging... how on Earth he keeps the sealed foodstuffs from going off is anyone's guess - I'd be very worried keeping yoghurts that long!
Thanks Frank. I'd really like to interview Robert and ask him how he started and how he managed to keep so many items in such exceptional condition. It's a truly amazing place and well worth a visit if you get chance.
Yet another superb video Jules! Fascinating to see some of the old packaging once again. Great memories! 🙂
Thanks, so pleased you enjoyed the video my friend 👍
I love this museum…I’ve visited twice now and plan to go a third when I’m next in London. It says on Trip Advisor that people spend about an hour here but the first time I visited I was there for over 4 hours!!
I was there for about two hours or more, really fantastic and well worth a second visit👍🙂
Great walk down memory lane for me with the 70s/80s stuff !
What was the green topped lamp? at 14:32 Jules ? Looked amazing.
It was just a beautiful art deco lamp. Very much of the period, georgeous. Yep, the 70's and 80's stuff was great.
Thanks for the video Jules, great work , must go next time in London. I think it was the palitoy Batmobile that is 1970s that had been place in with 60s items.
Thanks Martin, good stuff. Yes, definitely worth visiting in person if you're in London. it was indeed The Talking Batmobile that was in the wrong cabinet. I did tell them at the time 🙂
Funny to see Maxwell House
I always thought of that as American coffee ☕️ lol
Maybe it was originally?
Been there and loved it - it was great fun.
It is well worth a visit 👍
This place was on my 'maybe' list for my next trip across the pond. Your video bumped it up to deffo status.
Excellent news Kent, it's definitely well worth a visit👍
great museum , noticed the 1970's no britains deetail , dr who weetabix , cyborg and muton was huge in the mid 70's great video
Thanks, I guess they can't show everything👍 the displays do rotate though so maybe those bits would be added in the future, they're bound to have them.
Great tour of an incredible museum in the part of London that I grew up in! Maybe I will go one ☝️ time 🕰️ still this is a great tour and has top notch narration!
Thanks my friend 👍 it was a real eye opener and I was so impressed with what was on display. It's well worth a visit mate🙂
Its a reason to come to London alone, outstanding selection and so well presented. I read one of his books years ago. There is very little advertising before the late Victorian era (1880s) and thus very little material, maybe Georgian handbills and ads in old papers are usually lines. The rise in lithography and chromo lithography meant that colourful advertisements could start. Plus add on the fact more people became literate after the 1870 Edication act, before that less people read and many people did not have the money to buy commercially made products, another part of the Industrial Revolution. Think about it, until the late 1700s, most people went to markets and bought things raw or made their own.
A great point and one I'd not considered. It's a fantastic museum and you really do need to see it with your own eyes to fully appreciate all the exhibits.
@@JulesBurt Maybe in a year. Lots of money and planning to get from Auckland, New Zealand to London!
I can imagine🙂👍
Thank you for posting this great video Jules 😎
Thanks 👍
Watched the museum of brands episode,noticed a palitoy 1977 palitoy Batmobile in the 60's toy cabinet 😅.
Also noticed ,the accute lack of Fireball xl5 merchandise,(and only saw 3 stingray bits too),other than an annual and a TV21 Free gift., I could fill a cabinet of it.
It's true, I told them about the Batmobioe being in the wrong cabinet but they just sort of shrugged, like who the hell are you? They have a curator and it's their mistake and they wouldn't be told otherwise 😔
A true time capsule. Amazing place, great video.
Thanks, it's an amazing place!
Did they have Prince Albert in a can?
Not that I remember 🙂
Very cool
I would have enjoyed the Victorian stuff for sure
It was an epic visit 👍
