Museum of Brands

Explore a new way of observing history from the last 200 years through the things that generations of families have thrown away. See your childhood memories brought back to life by the Time Tunnel.
Take a nostalgic trip through 200 years of social change, consumer culture, and lifestyle at Londons Museum of Brands, located 5 minutes away from the world-famous Portobello Road Market. Step inside the Time Tunnel to explore the remarkable story of how consumer society has evolved since Victorian times. See your favourite brands in their historical context, along with royal coronations, two world wars, man landing on the moon, right up to the digital age. Once your journey has finished in the Time Tunnel, youll get the opportunity to watch some TV adverts from the past. Marvel at the temporary displays which in the past have focused on 1950s Toys, the London Punk scene, chocolate brands, and biscuit tins. Finish off your visit by relaxing in the award-winning memorial garden while enjoying a piece of cake with a coffee, or a refreshing glass of Prosecco (at your own expense). You can also pick up souvenirs in the gift shop that reflect the collection, or perhaps some tasty treats.
