London Leicester Square, Lego Store Visit

My first time visiting the Lego Square in London's Leicester Square in over a year - I was in London for the weekend so thought I'd stop by to have a look around.

Man you were brave to go in there on a Bank Holiday!

[@iainsbricks]

I got there nice and early. Central London was pretty quiet at 9:30 / 10:00 am

[@christophery8927]

Nice

[@jaigarcia2507]

That very large Lego brick build looks amazing ❤

[@iainsbricks]

It looked great. I want one!

[@aliciapozzo9947]

the little lester polybag is so cute, too bad i live in canada.

[@iainsbricks]

It's a nice minifigure

[@petert1493]

Store looks amazing and a great video thank you

[@iainsbricks]

No problem. Thanks for watching

[@willmc7681]

That's a great Lego shop! Thanks for sharing with us!

[@iainsbricks]

It's a very big store - the downside is, that it's always really busy

[@simonmoss101]

I’ve not been to Leicester Square since 2019. It’s definitely on my must do again list. Thank you for sharing your visit 👍

[@iainsbricks]

Thanks Simon. The store get really busy still, but definitely worth a look if you are ever in London

[@charlottetown4422]

It was nice to see again. Thanks. Now I will be dreaming being go to the store one day. Whenever this recession is over.

[@iainsbricks]

Thanks. Hopefully you can get to visit the UK again soon

[@reneecohen9447]

I really want that monkie kid castle of the dragon of the east set!! I can’t believe you went to the lego store and not made a purchase!! 😮

[@iainsbricks]

I was potentially going to but something but the store got really busy, I didn't have much time, plus there were no deals or gwps to be had. I'll save my money for the September Harry Potter GWP

[@Peter-tv7yz]

Would love to go there one day, seems like a great store☺️

[@iainsbricks]

As Lego stores go, it's definitely worth a visit

[@bricksoverload2262]

Awesome! I am going their on September 1st to get the new starwars Ashoka sets!

[@iainsbricks]

Excellent. Hope you have a fantastic day

[@TheAwesomeBrick245]

I hope I can go there one day!

[@iainsbricks]

It's definitely worth a visit

[@jamiesworld1690]

I went to leister square store around July and therevid a que already shocked into why there is a queue

[@iainsbricks]

The store attracts a lot of tourists, just wanting to look around. Most probably won't buy anything

[@andrewsmith5562]

heading down in September - looks a bit bigger than the Auckland NZ shop!!!

[@iainsbricks]

It gets very busy in there. My tip would be to visit around 10am when it opens

[@andrewsmith5562]

@@iainsbricks thanks. My train gets in at 8:30am - i’ll put my running shoes on!!! Love the videos too. 👍👍👍

[@deankelz29]

how does the pick a brick work is the cup/box by that section and you just help your self when your done take it to the counter and pay? also how do you see whats in the tubs at the top and reach them? 😅 thanks

[@iainsbricks]

Yes, you just help yourself to a box or cup and fill it with as much Lego as you can, take it to the counter and pay for it. There is usually nothing in the higher tubs - most have clear windows at the front so you can see in.

[@caronmills8983]

I can't believe it's been a year already since it reopened? Really?? Wow

[@iainsbricks]

Yes, I know. Time flies!

[@bobsbits5357]

hi in the week there's not alot in the shop 3pm and on it was picking up i find the Westfield London note to all if you are carry any good with you this not the best place to shop as there's alot of kid around i find i can put my shopping around the back of the tills wheel chair and filling up the pab is not great here beware with filming with pro cam's you have to ask phones is ok they know me in the Westfield shop there are rules about filming the best way to get a spy cam of ebay i use them all the time in shops

[@iainsbricks]

The Leicester Square store is really more for the casual tourist, while the White City / Stratford stores are better for your everyday Lego fan. Never had a problem filming in stores.

[@rogerhalt3991]

Are you going on 1st Sept for the HP sets and GWP?

[@iainsbricks]

Yes, I will be hopefully placing a few orders online to get the Harry Potter GWP

[@rogerhalt3991]

@@iainsbricks ahh okay, fair enough. That sounds easier than queueing XD

[@nathonso_edits]

The overlap of spice girls fans to brickheadz fans is completely non existent lol, definitely one to avoid

[@iainsbricks]

Its one of the few Brickheadz sets that's been a total flop

[@garethsmith2250]

Worst store in London.. Shepherds Bush is mile's better

[@iainsbricks]

To be fair, it's more for the tourist trade rather than your average Lego buyer or AFOL

[@jaigarcia2507]

I didn't know that thank you.
