London toy museum to return to 1870s home for one day only

Pollock's Toy Museum to put on puppet theatre shows in Hoxton at Open House festival, as search for permanent home continues

More than 70 years after leaving its original home in east London, the capital's oldest and most whimsical toy museum is returning to its roots this weekend as part of an annual festival in which significant buildings open their doors to the public.

Pollock's Toy Museum's extensive collection of puppet theatres, dolls, games, teddy bears and other Victorian toys has been in storage since January, after it was forced to leave its premises in central London.
