What to expect?
We are open in Notting Hill, 7 days a week. Book today to enjoy our exhibitions, garden, cafe and gift shop.
Permanent Exhibition
Our Time Tunnel explores how daily life has changed since the Victorian times and offers an integenerational view of the culture and lifestyle of our parents and grandparents. Remember the taste of Spangles, the scent of Aqua Manda, spot Meccano sets and sing your favourite jingles as you walk down memory lane.

Temporary exhibitions
Our temporary exhibitions shine a light on special moments in history and showcase the cutting edge of contemporary branding, packaging and advertising. Will you learn about the history of punk-rock or the battle of the toy brands in the 1950s? See what’s on when you book your visit today.
Memory Trails
Our trails for the whole family will guide you through the Museum, point out exciting objects from the collection and give cultural and historical context to the exhibition. View our Memory Trail for adults to learn about the Museum before your visit or use it as an online guide while touring the Time Tunnel.

Garden
Our garden is free to enter and enjoy throughout the year. You are welcome to enjoy a coffee from our cafe, or relax with friends and family.
Our building is the London Lighthouse, so we have dedicated the garden as a quiet memorial space for those who passed away from AIDS and HIV during treatment here in the 1990's.
