This Lego Store was opened not long ago and it has attracted locals and tourists alike. not only Lego lovers will go to buy legos, there is a tube train cart, big ben and phone booth made of Legos. Sure to go take selfies. 60 reviews sorted by: sometimes you have to wait in line to visit the store but inside you can see the latest products and big lego creations. exclusive to the store is the lego london bus. The lego shop has a queuing area, the queue moves steadily but you need to hope they are keeping enough people outside as the actual shop gets ram-packed. The times I have been it took between 5 and 15 minutes to get in.There are some discounts and special offers, but these are spread across Lego's huge range and what you want to buy is probably in your local toy shop for a similar price.There is an area where you can build your own minifigures (cheaper than the random ones in sealed packs), but from a limited selection of parts and you're in competition with a scrum of struggling small people pushing each other out of the way, snatching, being told off, etc.
Our little one wasn't up for that but on my third visit I managed to make her the figures she wanted without breaching the UN Convention on the rights of the child. A lot depends on who, and how many, they let in - and it is early days so hopefully it will get better. I visited three times (before I managed to buy anything) and it seems to be heaving all week round at all times of day. It's hard to browse or stand still long enough to look at box contents - this is Lego as an impulse purchase for tourists, and by golly the stuff's selling like hotcakes.Other unique products in the shop (at the time) included London souvenirs (e.g. Routemaster bus, Houses of Parliament), free gifts if you spend a certain amount, and Lego mosaic portraits - some of this seemed to be subject to availability so definitely check the website before visiting if you want something particular. There was an option to pay a fixed price for a model you made out of pick-and-mixed parts but the rules were obscure and the crowding doesn't lend itself to working out the system for in-store promotions.
When I was there the discounted stuff was only a couple of quid off, which is understandable: Lego is awesome value anyway, as you can rebuild it into any toy you can think of and the bricks last for generations.There is a VIP card linked to their website, I signed up for it but can't see myself returning often enough to get much use.There is a Lego play area on the first floor toward the back. However, you can't leave children there, so all the children have parents stood behind them, and as a result it clogs up the sides and back of the shop. You'll be wanting to complete the visit efficiently by this point, so remind them they can play Lego at home. Obviously the Lego shop isn't a day trip, maybe an hour including queuing.The attractions for small children are extremely cool and have probably saved us an excursion to LegoLand. There are big Lego sculptures (tube train, Big Ben, her majesty the queen) which capture their imaginations and convey the lesson that you can build anything with time and dedication.
I wish they could fill the whole shop with sculptures and sell the Lego sets the end via a touchscreen. Come to think of it they could probably sell a lot of Lego to the people in the queue to save them coming inside...Bringing children to the Lego shop is a gamble. If yours are like mine try to show them the big sculptures at the front, get the photos, and then ask your partner to whisk them out of the shop while a grown-up goes round and buys the Lego. (Ideally this should be a grown-up who knows how to queue, isn't easily distracted by Star Wars stuff they want themselves, and who has suitable footwear). Having watched the documentary on the new flagship Lego store over Christmas we decided to include a visit to the store on our weekend trip to London. So glad we did, the store is super. You do have to queue to get in as they limit the number of people in the store, we were visiting on a Saturday around lunchtime and had to queue for approx 20 mins. The wait and limiting the number of people inside the store was worth it.
You have plenty of space inside the store to look around at all the displays which are fabulous, you can take photographs and then of course purchase the odd Lego set if you wish to. Well worth a visit for anyone of any age, you don't have to be a Lego fan! Love love love this shop,Love that they limit the amount of people in the store yes you have to wait but now long.All the staff are so happy and friendly.The mosaic maker is fabulous please make sure you book an appointment as soon as you arrive as it's ones one person very 15 mins and gets really booked up.Don't forget to become a Lego VIP member you get money on your card on all purchases.Well done Lego a fabulous shop xHiring process information for an interview at Lego Stores For sales associate or "brick specialist" positions, applicants face group interviews followed by one-on-one interviews. LEGO Store group interviews typically remain held on the sales floor where applicants must answer a series of basic, personality-gauging questions.
Common inquiries include: "What is one word that describes you?" and "What do you like best about LEGO?" Applicants that successfully complete group interviews move on to chat with hiring managers in private. During one-on-one interviews, applicants need to answer questions about teamwork and customer service, such as: Do you have any sales experience? How do you tell a customer that we are out of a certain product? Can you tell me about a time when you didn't get along with a coworker and how did you handle it? After LEGO Store interviews, applicants may wait up to two weeks before receiving job offers. Hiring Process for Management Positions For retail management positions, LEGO Store candidates need to progress through several rounds of interviews. The typical manager evaluation process includes a phone screening followed by two or three interviews. Interview questions often remain open-ended, with some examples as follows: "What is your leadership style?" and "How do you motivate a team member?"
