On 17 November 2016, we opened our largest LEGO store in Leicester Square London.
Here are some features we think you will love!At last, a reason to go to Leicester Square: LEGO. A whole building dedicated to it. It’s the biggest LEGO store in the world, but so much more than ‘just a shop’. Here are eight fun things to do when you're there: 1. Hold one of the big boxes (try a 'Star Wars' one) up to a digital display, then watch in awe as a 3D CGI of the model comes to life on screen, complete with mini-figures running amok. Kids, we hear, usually go ‘woaaah'. 2. Take your piccie in the 'Make a Mosaic' booth, then wait for it to spit out an oversized baseplate of your face, plus a box of all the bricks that go with it. 3. Take a selfie in front of one of the London attractions (all made out of LEGO, obvs). I loved the skyline map, the Tube map (YES!), the Royal Mail postbox and life-sized red phone box (surely asking for a game of ‘how many people can you get in this LEGO phonebox'). 4. Visit when there’s a masterclass with a 'Master Builder' on.
The chap I met identified an old hand-me-down set I used to play with as one from 1978 and even described the outfits on the mini-figures. 5. Head to the ‘Pick & Build’ wall (which they really should have called ‘Brick ‘n’ Mix’) and fill a pot with any combination of blocks you want – £6.99 for a small one, £11.99 for a large. Keep the pot and you’ll save some pennies next time. 6. Pick up a LEGO passport (it’s free AND comes with stickers). Then head to one of the 'staffed' models, like the replica of a central line tube carriage, which you can get pose for pics in. Get your passport 'stamped', hand your phone over and a strike your best commuter pose: arms up, face of disgust. 7. Make your own custom mini-figure. You put it together using body, legs, head, hat/hair and accessories (£4.99 gets you three). I went for a lederhosen-and-Napoleonic-jacket-sporting gal. 8. Play at one of the Master Builder Playtables, where you can assemble themed stuff for free.
There’s even a DUPLO Playtable: hello, toddlers! If you’re just after pressies and don’t know where to start, my top tip is this: the best-value starter kits are the ‘creator’ boxes (which give you three models from one set of bricks). And the ones that will keep that superfan in your life busy for all of Christmas Day are the Technic kits: the £99.99 race car will take an expert builder a good 16 hours to make. That’s a lot of time in the garden shed!

The toy manufacturer has announced plans to open a flagship chain spread over two floors, in a bid to create a “must-visit” tourist destination for Lego enthusiasts. The 5,420 sq ft store at Swiss Court will sell a new scale model of Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament, giving fans the chance to recreate one of London's most iconic landmarks.
The completed Lego build stands at 60cm high and features statues, shields, windows and a clock tower housing Big Ben’s bell, which can be accessed through a removable roof. Ward Van Duffel, vice president direct to consumer EMEA at the Lego Group said: “Our stores provide a one-of-a-kind shopping experience and our new venue is in a fantastic location for visitors to the Capital. “It will feature innovative interactive technology not yet experienced in a Lego store and be a fun and engaging encounter for all the family “The introduction of retail outlets in key locations worldwide forms part of our growth strategy to inspire the Lego builders of tomorrow. “We are confident that the Lego Store, Leicester Square will realise this and provide residents of and visitors to central London with a must-see destination in a unique environment.” It follows the recent opening of Lego shop in the Les Halles district of Paris, France, and the toy company’s largest Lego store in Shanghai, China.
The London store, which will create around 45 permanent jobs, is set to open in late 2016.World's largest LEGO store opens in Leicester Square The world's biggest Lego store opens in London on Thursday marked by the unveiling of a six-metre high 200,000-brick Big Ben. The structure dominates the two-storey 914 square metre store in Leicester Square after taking 2,280 hours to build, and features a working clock face which will be illuminated at night. The opening also includes the unveiling of a new Lego mascot named Lester, an English tea-drinking Minifigure, and the first Lego London skyline replica set ahead of its worldwide release in January. The phenomenally successful Danish company reports having sold more than 72 billion Lego "elements" or pieces last year.
