21-23 Craven Hill London, part of a terrace of Grade II Listed houses of about 1830-1840. the London Toy and Model Museum was open for seventeen years. Founded by two toy collectors in 1982, the museum was bought in 1989 by the Fujita Corporation which spent £5.5 million pounds on refurbishing it. The museum had 120,000 visitors a year and employed thirty people. Fujita was run by Kazuaki Fujita, also a toy collector. In 1999, four years after Fujita’s death, the Corporation decided to close the museum saying it was no longer affordable.
