Quiz: Which vegetable doll are you?
Are you a Princess Spring Onion? A Lord Leek? Or a Lady Parsley? Step inside the Vegetable Kingdom and discover your plant identity. These eye-catching and extraordinary dolls are part of the London Museum's extraordinary collection.
The Vegetable Kingdom dolls are a collection of 34 visually striking dolls. These were handmade by author, painter and poet Una Maw at home about 100 years ago. Just like Londoners, they come in a variety of shapes and sizes and wear characterful expressions. Some of them are convivial and smiling, others less so.
