M&M World, selling confectionery and merchandise, is housed over 4 floors in Leicester Square. It is huge, very bright, lit by neon/spot lights and decorated in harsh primary colours. Although it seemed like a cross between Disney land and a petrol station shop, there was something about the concept that drew me in to the cavernous space and endeared me to the M&M life size characters, especially the green dame! (Although they looked asthough they were trying to escape!)

I think she's heading to the exit as fast as her dinky boots will carry her!
I was struck by this surreal and bizarre environment, complete with mixing laboratory and periodic tables, yet despite all the gimmicks, it felt devoid of any atmosphere! But I guess their target market of tourists and children, will love it and happily part with their M&Money!

I did like the exterior lighting! Shame it wasn't replicated within the store |

"Help! Get me out of here!" |

Very sinister looking! |

Trapped in these clinical dispensers, the M&Ms reminded me of pills!! |

London's strangest attraction! |
