It’s London calling for talented model makers at the LEGOLAND Windsor Resort who have raised the roof by reimagining some of the city’s most iconic buildings brick by brick.
Over two million LEGO bricks have been used to build architectural gems from City Hall, 122 Leadenhall Street (The Cheese Grater) and 30 St Mary Axe (The Gherkin) as part of an awesome makeover of the Resort’s Miniland London display.
The awe-inspiring new display of London’s city skyline took model makers 10,800 hours to create and features seven new buildings including One Canada Square, which pips The Cheese Grater to the prize of being the tallest model on display at 5.5 meters high. If laid on its side, it would be half as long as a London bus!
“Miniland London continues to wow our guests since it first opened almost 30 years ago. Our continued investment in the Resort has meant the iconic buildings have been updated for a new generation. Our talented team of model makers have skilfully refreshed and maintained the intricate details of the London city skyline, which is set to be a towering success. We are so excited to see the final models of these architectural gems in time for the new theme park 2025 season opening.”
Ramesh Ganeson, Vice President at LEGOLAND Windsor Resort
The permanent new display is available for families to experience when they visit the Park this spring. It also features 25 animated houseboat and boat models, as well as 174 vehicles such as buses, taxis and trains to bring the hustle and bustle of the city to life.
LEGO buffs with a keen eye will also be able to spot some new colour bricks used for the first time including reddish orange and vibrant yellows.
To mark the attraction’s makeover, the LEGOLAND Windsor Resort is calling all young builders and LEGO® enthusiasts to take part in a nationwide competition to become its first Mayor of Miniland.
Aspiring model makers aged five to 12-year-olds are being asked to submit ideas on what they would add, design or change to the Miniland London scene with their winning design brought to life as a LEGO model to go on display during the school summer holidays.
