A museum full of product and brand designs since the Victorian era. It's great to observe how the famous FMCG brands evolved in time. Must-see for agency people.(This museum is NOT about advertising.)

Lovely, small museum . Started as a private collection, it is a time capsule of consumer goods from Victorian times to present days. Come in the morning to have it all to yourself

An hidden gem for all packaging and graphic design lovers. Some parts will remind your of your childhood whenever where you're coming from. Not to busy so it´s a calm visit.

This museum has a magic about it that's similar to digging through your grandparents' kitchen cupboards. Check the website to get tickets to talks at the museum that include admission.

Ignore tips that say the address is "Colville Mews ", that is the old site. As per the map, the Museum is now at 111-117 Lancaster Road , W11 1QT.

Hidden away on Colville Mews and well worth a visit. Highlights include a look back over 250 years of Guinness - featuring some of their best advertising campaigns.

Interesting, but lower your expectations. Cute garden .

I think they should be more respectful towards 1D, referring to Zayn as "the one who left" & covering half their display window, its boring anyway
