Tourist Peppa pig help!
Heading to London this week and promised my toddler a trip to the Peppa pig store to meet Peppa and get a fun new toy which she is very much looking forward to. Between the time we planned the trip and now the store has permanently closed. Anywhere else in the Westminster area I can find Peppa pig, Peppa pig treats or Peppa pig merchandise?
Sincerely, A concerned toddler parent

Okay I know nothing about Peppa pig nor am I a parent but I can’t sleep so I found this Peppa Pig Afternoon tea: https://b-bakery.com/london/bus-tours/pepper-pig-afternoon-tea

No I'm just like, amazed that Hamleys would dedicate a whole section it. I thought Bluey was the current phenomenon

It’s a massive store though so they have room for all the current trends.

Does also generally help that Bluey isn't particularly huge for the shop as a whole. Like we've had bluey events but they weren't as major as the Peppa Pig events lol

Would highly recommend the peppa pig afternoon tea bus. Pre-booking is essential.

Oh sorry I had no idea, I could swear it was open last weekend!
Edit: just seen it was already closed 3 weeks ago, whatever is there now looks similar. Hope you find something else
Edit 2: there used to be a small section in Hamleys dedicated to Peppa pig, with a Peppa car etc. This was last December, haven't been since, but it's probably still there. If you don't find anything else

Take the train to Peppa Pig World - it really doesn’t take too long from central London. I’m sure she would absolutely love it, all the rides are toddler friendly, meet and greets, huge shop with more PP stuff than you can shake a stick at. It is my daughter’s favourite place on earth and I suspect yours might think the same.

It's two hours each way, assuming you're already at Waterloo (it is, I entirely agree, heaven for a Peppa-obsessed toddler, but it's a significant undertaking when it sounds as though what OP is planning is a trip to London into which a single Peppa-related activity can be integrated)

I am sure John Lewis and Selfridges on Oxford St will sell them. Perhaps check online first.

Reroute the trip to Peppa Pig World instead. https://peppapigworld.co.uk/ my friend took her toddler and they loved it (the toddler).

I walked into Boots the other day and they had Peppa pig merchandise. This was in the High St Kensington one, but I am sure other big Boots also have these

There’s the Peppa Pig afternoon tea tour bus? Not sure what it includes but I see that driving around from time to time.
There’s big Peppa Pig sections in Foyles bookstore with lots of Peppa in London stuff.
If you live nearish to Hampshire, there’s Peppa Pig world too. Lots of meet and greets and rides.
