You don't have to be Polish to visit here as you might think, and the surprising thing about this…read moreplace for me was the cafÈ and restaurant hidden inside near the back of the building.(The front of the building is a bit decieving) The cafe has great food with dinners for under five pounds, the pork meatballs in mushroom sauce is nice and are served with salad and potato included in the price. The sweets are delicious too. The atmosphere is relaxed. Upstairs, there is a bar and the restaurant is a bit more formal with traditional Polish music, it is still a relaxed feel though. The chicken liver pate garnished with apples was recommended to me as a starter and even though I am not keen on pate this one I will eat again. Also good is the fried trout with almonds.

Absolutely loved this museum. As a mass consumer myself, I really appreciated learning about the…read moredevelopment of brands throughout time. FOr instance, the first products were made to celebrate events such as the crowning of a Queen whereas now, there's strong brand associations with the products that are made. Also, they have a lot of childhood nostalgia items that anyone will appreciate, like groovy chick? I hadn't thought about that brand for a long long time before my visit! I also appreciate how easy the museum is to walk through. The exhibit is organized based on a timeline, also its a straight path so you'll definitely be able to see everything you want to. It's also kind of funny to see at the end of the exhibit there's just a giant case full of Frozen items. Definitely, a must-see when in London. Highly recommend it as the consumers that we have grown into today.

Unfortunately I was not able to experience the restaurant but I will definitely try it when I'll be back in London in January. I think the attention to the tinniest of details on the ground level made me recall shopping in Sogo and other department stores. I used to eat in some of them and at that time I discovered the famous Japanese 7 spices for my Udon and Soba. Lo and behold they had it on this store much to my surprise. I love those spices.
