2nd Architecture (Wife)

This is the wife's second Lego set with the first being Architecture Big Ben.
She says everything about it is great except the Wheel. It is wobbly and doesn't look complete. We both agree with the previous review that the top of the Wheel should be white.
This set is great. It includes builds of the National Gallery, Nelson's Column, Big Ben, the London Eye & Tower Bridge on a base plate. The set looks really good but is only for display, not to be played with really.
I think the inclusion of a small boat under Tower Bridge is nice.
The instruction book includes pictures and information about each of the landmarks and is higher quality than normal books.
I think the price is a bit too high but the set looks great and I highly recommend this to people who love LEGO & London.
This is my first Architecture set and I enjoyed building it.
I was very excited to finally see a London Skyline set as I love the way LEGO cleverly interpret landmarks using simple elements while maintaining the essence of the landmarks. A few things irked me though. I didn't like the grey connector at the top of the Eye, this spoils the look for me and would have been better in white. The capsules of the Eye I think could have been interpreted a bit better using cylindrical/ dome elements. The clear tiles are just ok. Nelson's column would have been nice in grey too as it's definitely not white in reality. All that said however, it's a nice little set, but London is big place and definitely would need a 2nd or 3rd iteration to capture the real variety of architecture we have here.
Bought this as a little treat for myself and although it does end up smaller than expected, it is a sweet little set. The construction of the London Eye is brilliant! A bigger version with more landmarks would be interesting. Not really one for the kids to play with but definitely adds a little something to our collection
Of the skyline line, the London set is my favorite. The London Eye is genius. Would love to see a second skyline with The Shard and other London landmarks.
I'm so excited London got added to the skylines architecture series!! I can't wait to get Chicago as well. Enjoyable to put together and looks great with my other architectural sets.
