I purchased this set for my husband in honor of our 36th wedding anniversary and our first trip abroad, about 12 years ago, which was to London and Paris. It was fun to talk about our memories of the trip as he built the London skyline. We both thought the Tower Bridge and the London Eye were very clever. He has decided that we need to have and build the Paris skyline now and I agree....
This was my first lego set that I have done since I was under the age of 12. This was a gift from my girlfriend for Christmas and after I started building it I was immediately hooked on legos again! This set was really cool for me because I wasn't building something to play with I was building something to have for display. Its great for myself and others to admire the great details that went into devolving this set that replicate an actual place in this world. I have never been to London but really want to visit but am familiar with the historic sites that were used in this build. My only complaint with this build is I wish the Ferris Wheel actually moved. Other than that I would def recommend to anyone!
Fun little set with some clever design features here. I especially like this set because of the landmarks chosen... In a city with tons to pick from, these were the ones that really stuck with me after visiting London a couple years ago. A great trip, and now a great set to remind me of it!
The model is an accurate adaption of London skyline. The only con is that the clock in Elizabeth Tower should be on all four sides and not only in the front view.
Fun to build yet just challenging enough to not be high on the difficulty scale. Very clever design and interpretation of the London Eye and Tower Bridge. A satisfying way to spend a couple of hours.
