21034 London Great Britain
London Originally founded by the Romans over 2,000 years ago, London has grown to become the cultural and economic capital of Britain and one of the world’s truly global cities. Famous for its finance, fashion and arts industries, London is the world’s most visited city and also one of its most culturally diverse; more than 300 languages are spoken by its population of over 8.5 million people.
The National Gallery From the very start, the aim of the National Gallery was to ensure that the widest public possible could enjoy its collection. When Parliament agreed to pay for the construction of a new gallery in 1831, there were lengthy discussions about where the building should be located. Trafalgar Square was eventually chosen, as it was considered to be at the very center of the city and therefore accessible by all classes of London society.
Nelson’s Column The 169 ft. (51.6 m) column stands in front of the National Gallery in Trafalgar Square and was erected between 1840 and 1843 to commemorate the British naval hero Admiral Horatio Nelson, who died at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. The pedestal upon which the column stands is decorated with four bronze reliefs; each one is 18 ft. (5.5 m) square and cast from captured French guns.
London Eye Opened in 2000 to mark the new millennium, the London Eye is still the world’s largest cantilevered observation wheel. With a height of 443 ft. (135 m), this remarkable feat of design and engineering has become the UK’s most popular paid attraction, with 3.75 million visitors every year. On a clear day it is possible to see up to 25 miles (40.2 km) in the distance from the top of the wheel.
Tower Bridge It took eight years and 11,000 tons of steel to construct the 213 ft. (65 m) tall Tower Bridge, and when it opened in June 1894 it was regarded as the most sophisticated bridge of its type in the world. The framework was clad in Cornish granite and Portland stone to protect the underlying steelwork, and to give the Bridge a more pleasing appearance.

LEGO® Architecture–then and now There has always been a natural connection between the LEGO® brick and the world of architecture. Fans who build with LEGO elements instinctively develop an interest in the form and function of the structures they create. At the same time, many architects have discovered that LEGO bricks are the perfect way of physically expressing their creative ideas. This connection was confirmed in the early 1960s with the launch of the LEGO ‘Scale Model’ line.
