Calling all Hello Kitty lovers! This weekend, all your Japanese-bobtail-inspired dreams will come true…
An immersive and super-sized Hello Kitty experience at London’s Southbank will celebrate the 45th birthday of the world’s cutest cuddly toy.
This Saturday (October 26), the experience will be open to visitors and super-fans from across the city.
