Miniland
Imagine you’re a tourist and it’s your first time in London. You’re interested in all the famous places like Trafalgar Square, Tower Bridge and Covent Garden Market. But you have only got one day to see the city.
There’s an answer – visit Miniland! It isn’t in the middle of London, it’s at the Legoland park in Windsor. This is only half an hour by train from London’s Paddington Station and it’s open March to November from 10 a.m.
Miniland has got some nice buildings from Edinburgh, Amsterdam and Paris, but there are hundreds of interesting places from London! There are pretty parks like St James’s Park or shops like Hamleys. All of these places are very small and they’re all in Lego bricks.
There are about 40 million bricks in Miniland. One building has got 200,000 bricks – that’s the Canary Wharf office building.
Visit the places in Miniland and take photos of ‘London’ for your family. It’s not real London, but relax – you’re a good tourist.
