So after having a pizza with my family , we went to Hamleys. I've not been there till now and being able to take my daughter. It wasn't crowded. Seeing optimus prime was a highlight for us both, the toy story level was great as my sons a big fan of buzz etc and the lego Isle. It was all just a wonderful experience, we watched the demonstrations, no pressure to buy anything like some stores can do. All the staff were friendly on approach and welcoming especially the staff that were front of house on the day we came in. The staff have a genuine persona and seem happy in what they do.

So much energy and enthusiasm from the staff (superheros without the cape) my only minor criticism is the till staff were talking amongst themselves, but overall an absolutely smashing day.

Kindly understand one basic thing, your cmr are kids. Parents are just facilitator. Treat kids with politeness & esp. kids grandparents with extra care.
Being rude in retail business results in business loss, like this case. My family will never visit 1 MG mall Hamleys bcoz of a bad experience.
Word of advice for other who read this far - This store staff don't entertain kids testing the soft toys, the entire vibe of the place is unwelcoming & a particular female staff eye gaze kids in a manner to make everyone uncomfortable.
Best of luck for the time, when your kids gets attracted by red big logo & free bubble. May lord give you strength to go through anger &...
