Museum of Brands A nostalgic journey through 200 years of consumer culture. Unwrap 200 years of consumer society at the Museum of Brands.
(697)

Travel through the Museum’s time tunnel of 12,000 objects and unwrap 150 years of consumer society, decade by decade. From Cadbury’s to Coca-Cola, Monster Munch to Matey Bubble Bath, so many brand stories are here. Rediscover design classics, forgotten childhood toys and products long since consigned to history. The fascinating changes in style, design, fashion, entertainment, communications, travel, transport and behaviour can all be traced through our unique collection. Located just off the famous Portobello Road in London’s Notting Hill, the Museum is regularly described as one of London’s quirkiest Museums. Our award-winning gift shop sells brand-inspired items created from images in the Collection and the café offers light lunches, tea, coffee and refreshments.

🐰 Did you know Peter Rabbit has been around for over 120 years?

Beatrix Potter first imagined Peter Rabbit in an illustrated letter written in 1893 to the young son of her former governess, telling the story of a mischievous little rabbit named Peter.

The story was commercially published as The Tale of Peter Rabbit in 1902 and has since inspired TV series, films and attractions around the world.

More than a century later, Peter Rabbit remains a much-loved part of British culture. 🇬🇧📚

Discover Peter Rabbit and more familiar British favourites in our Branding Britain exhibition — now extended until 29 November 2026.

🍂Autumn is in the air… 🍂

The calendar says autumn… even if the weather hasn’t quite got the memo yet.
To mark the start of the season, we’ve searched through the Museum of Brands collection for everything you need to embrace (or survive) a Great British autumn.
