I Built LONDON Out Of LEGO! (In London!)

I Built LONDON Out Of LEGO!
I built London landmarks out of LEGO, AT the landmarks themselves, including Tower Bridge, Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square, Piccadilly Circus, the Tube, a Routemaster Bus, Doctor Who, The Beatles, Sherlock Holmes, William Shakespeare, Cruella, Peter Pan, The Olympics, and LOADS MORE!

I stumbled across your videos a few years back with the rollercoaster ones and I haven't left. I truly love the silly, quirky, "cheap" feel of the videos but know they are far from cheap and the work is involved is insane. It makes it look like any of us could make and it's incredible

"I suddenly felt very aware of something: I looked like a giant weirdo." This one was so relatable. Thanks for this vid, Chris. I was just in London myself this past couple of weeks, and wish I could've built some London LEGO there. It was a lovely trip, and this video brings back all the good memories.

[@ericpalacios920]

0:27 this is actually one of the biggest reasons castle fans were upset when Lego got rid of the old grays - their yellowish undertone makes them look more like weathered stone masonry (ironically the new ones are called "stone gray").

[@brianmacdonald7297]

That's simply amazing. I can't believe you built the bus on a bus; that's not a quick build! I've built most of those sets as well, but just on my dining room table. Given you're heading to Paris...well, I won't spoil, but if you're doing what I imagine you're going to do...wow.

[@HalfAsleepChris]

Thanks a lot! The bus on a bus was actually one of the easiest - I got to seat down on a comfy seat with a lap-tray - some of the more public / exposed ones like Buckingham Palace were a lot more difficult and fiddly. Still, great fun. Paris will be a good one... :)

[@MANGLORIOUS]

YOU’RE BRINGING TRAVEL BACK INTO YOUR VIDEOS!!! THANK YOU! While I do adore and love the lego and cat content, missed your travel and currency videos a lot, and it’s great to see you do more travel related videos again! I doubt that the currency videos will make a similar come back, but maaaaaybe a short fun fact or two in future videos? I’ll just keep my fingers crossed for that. Cant wait to see where this series goes! Thank you again for the lovely content Chris

7:27 "Field Notes: Filmed over 13 (non-consecutive) days in late Spring 2023 There are 2,108 individual frames of stop-motion animation Thanks to Danielle, my Dad, my Mum and Geoff Marshall for helping me film & carry these LEGO sets all over London! The stop-motion building of Trafalgar Square at 0:58 is fake, sort of. My original real take was unusable, but when I returned to refilm it, there was a huge stage set up in the square. Instead, I filmed it in my garden to match the outdoor lighting, and superimposed it on top of a timelapse I had My custom Tube train is based on the Victoria Line's 2009 stock. It's exceptionally fragile and can't actually turn corners due to the carriages being too long"

The reason the first lego set shows the bridge beige is that it actually used to be less greyish so the paint probably started losing its color
