Fodor's Review:
This Covent Garden shop carries on in the tradition of its founder and namesake who sold "theatrical sheets" for toy theaters from the mid-19th century to his death in 1937. Robert Louis Stevenson was a fan who wrote, "If you love art, folly, or the bright eyes of children, speed to Pollock's." Old-fashioned and magical toy theaters are the main stock in trade, but a selection of nostalgic puppets, mechanical toys, and zoetropes are also available.
