A NEW Hamleys pop-up store – the only one of its kind in the UK – has been launched at Gatwick.

Hamleys, the oldest toy shop in the world, has opened in the North Terminal.

Throughout December, the Hamleys Gatwick staff will dress as Father Christmas’s elves.

Gatwick’s head of retail Rachel Bulford said: “As we reach the end of what has been an exciting year for retail at Gatwick, it’s fantastic to add Hamleys – a truly iconic London brand – to our wealth of quality retailers.

“Christmas is the perfect time of year to welcome Hamleys on board.”
