The World of Bears, based in South-West England, is the largest independent specialist soft toy store in the United Kingdom. They stock over 18,000 bears, which are all available to purchase online via various outlets, or in-store.

The business is run independently by Elaine Moodie who opened her Taunton store to the public in summer, 2004, after successfully running another store named 'The Gorge Bear Co.' years before. The business quickly became incredibly popular with fellow Teddy bear enthusiasts, collectors, and the general public.

The store stocks most animals available to the imagination, and caters to low and high budgets, making it ideal for young families or perhaps the more seasoned collector. The store is divided into areas dedicated to select manufacturers and offers a plethora of brands, from the esteemed 'Steiff' to 'Jellycat'.

The owned is extremely knowledgeable about the history of Teddy bears and the inner-workings of the business, so this expertise, combined with an established customer service, makes the store an ideal choice for a reliable shopping experience.
