Lego London
I can imagine a few people might be a bit disappointed that my account of London didn't focus on the more traditional sights. Well, fortunately Legoland Windsor came through for you all. Tim and I were both a bit worried that Legoland might be a bit of a disaster. After all, we are adults - really - and we were trekking halfway across London to visit a children's theme park. In the end, however, it was very worthwhile. We spent most of our time in the bit the kids rush through: the large-scale Lego models of various European cities. And of these, undoubtedly the best was the newly completed model of London. It was very impressive for its detail, the innovative building techniques, and its scale. So, like it or not, here are some highlights.  Surveying London  Trafalgar Square  Trafalgar Square Detail  Big Ben  Docklands (With Working Docklands Light Rail)  London Streetscape (Covent Garden maybe?)  St Pauls Cathedral (My Favourite) To give you an idea of the detail on these models, they had working cars that drove around (without tracks). And there were a lot of clever little touches when you looked closely, like this appearance by Lou and Andy from Little Britain, plus the Tardis and K-9 from Dr Who.  So yes, I enjoyed Legoland. Thanks for asking. |
