01 · The house on Regent Street

The oldest toy shop in the world. On the same street since 1760.

Seven floors, a live magic act on the staircase, and a queue that reforms every morning. Yellow holds the one thing a two-hundred-and-sixty-year-old institution cannot afford to get wrong, its seasonal calendar. Christmas, Easter, Summer, Halloween, Chinese New Year, Eid.

Every season earns a master KV. Every season that warrants it earns an animation film. What began as a single Christmas campaign is now a year-round cadence, the same window, the same promise, a new story each time the calendar turns.

Six years of that calendar, read in one place.

01 Christmas Campaigns

Christmas, six years.

Six consecutive Christmases from the same window, one promise, six distinct stories. In 2023 the season learned to move: the first full animation film, running alongside the master KV.

02 Easter Campaigns

Easter, three years.

Spring as the second headline. Colour, light, the quieter ritual of an Easter morning. The 2025 cycle pairs the master KV with a full animation film, the moment Easter joined Christmas as a film-led season.

03 Summer Campaigns

Summer, three years.

The peak London-tourist window, the season the queue forms outside the door. Three years of master KVs, with the 2025 cycle adding an animation film. Summer now behaves as a campaign, not a category.

04 Halloween Campaigns

Halloween, three years.

October, played as theatre, drawn straight from the building's own history of magic on the staircase. Three master KVs, and, in 2024 and 2025, a film apiece. The film-and-still pairing is now the house standard.

05 Chinese New Year

Chinese New Year, three years.

A central-London moment built three years deep. One master KV per year, each calibrated to the zodiac, Dragon, Snake, Horse, every cycle distinct, every cycle in the same heritage voice.

07 Siblings Day

Siblings Day, 2026.

A standalone moment for the 2026 calendar. A campaign built around the dynamic Hamleys has quietly owned for two and a half centuries, the brand that has always known how to belong to every child at every age.

08 World Book Day

World Book Day, 2025.

A campaign aligned with the UK schools-and-libraries calendar. The brand standing alongside books, not against them, the toy shop that remembers reading is part of the same act of imagination.
