Why locals recommend it
Specific, unusual, and mostly unknown by Londoners, this museum is often empty. Full of branded boxes and packaging from all sorts of stuff—food packets, televisions, bikes, makeup—going back to 1800, it’s great for stirring up memories, especially useful to a writer. And artists love the retro graphics. It’s easy to think a product has always looked as it does now, but this place reminds you that it’s actually changed enormously over the years. It reminds you that your memory is never as fixed or accurate as you think.
