One Two Kangaroo is not just a toy store; it's a cherished part of my life. Having been in business for so long, this gem in the heart of Shirlington, has been my go-to for quality toys and gifts for as long as I can remember.
Charlie, the owner, is a true maestro in the world of toys. His knowledge is encyclopedic, and he seems to have an uncanny ability to recommend the perfect toy for any child. It's not just a store; it's an experience curated by someone who genuinely cares about the joy toys bring to children.

The selection is excellent with a wide variety of toys that range from the toy sets and vehicles to puzzles that start from a few months thru toddlers and older. The store offers gift wrapping as a service and it is wonderful to walk out with a toy freshly wrapped after browsing thru their selection.
