Pollock's Toy Museum is a small, currently closed, museum in London, England.[1]

The museum was started in 1956 in a single attic room at 44 Monmouth Street, near Covent Garden. As the enterprise flourished, other rooms were taken over for the museum and the ground floor became a toyshop. By 1969 the collection had outgrown the Monmouth Street premises and Pollock's Toy Museum moved to 1 Scala Street, with a museum shop on the ground floor to contribute to its support. The museum continues today to be run by the grandson of the founder Marguerite Fawdry.[2]

The museum announced on 18 January 2023 that it had not secured a new lease on its building and was looking for a new venue.[3] The venue was closed, and staff and volunteers moved the stock into storage.
