As the birthplace of William Shakespeare, Stratford-upon-Avon is a thriving tourist destination and a busy retail centre too. Although shoppers are unlikely to be bowled over by the choice of toy shops in Stratford-upon-Avon, there are some terrific independent stores. An example of this is a superb toy and model shop on Guild Street called Much Ado About Toys. This lovely Stratford toy shop specialises in models (Hornby, Corgi, Scalextric etc) but also sells a good selection of radio-controlled cars, planes and boats.
