Families Love Hamleys at 51, From In-Suite Toy Hampers to In-Store Sleepovers




WHAT: Queen Elizabeth II reminisced fondly of her childhood toys from Hamleys, and your kids will too with the Hamleys at 51 package. Kids get the royal treatment at 51 Buckingham Gate, Taj Suites & Residences through an exclusive partnership with Hamleys, London's finest toy store, including a toy hamper, private store tours, in-store discounts and personal shopping experiences. The children can then play with their new toys around the garden fountain at 51 Buckingham Gate (a gift from Queen Victoria) with imaginations peaked by the hotel's famous frieze scenes from Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, Love's Labours Lost, As You Like It and Much Ado About Nothing.


This package also includes: Superior Suites, Hamleys Hamper (teddy bear, doll for girls or London taxi for boys, coloring books, pencils, lollipops and more,) a cooking or baking lesson with 51's chef in-suite (plus a personalized chef's jacket) breakfast, babysitters, sauna, steam rooms and gym facilities.
