145 Piccadilly
- ... that Elizabeth II's childhood toys at 145 Piccadilly included 30 toy horses and a farm set collected from Woolworths? Source: At 145 Piccadilly the next generation had not one toy horse - but 30. Stabled on the nursery landing, they were bridled, saddled, groomed and polished according to a strict routine. On a long table nearby was set out Princess Elizabeth's farm, its pieces collected one by one over the years from Woolworth's. McLeod, Kirsty (16 September 1985). "Toys fit for a royal nursery". The Times. No. 62244. p. 13.

... No copyvio issues, QPQ provided. Plenty of decent references. Hook is in the article and followed by a citation to a reference clearly stating hook fact. I really the hook even if most people don't know Woolworths. I got a little lost on what was at the site between the allotment and the hotel, though it is a very good article.
