Tower Bridge is one of the most recognizable sights in London. You can see it from the Tower of London.

Tower Bridge is built by combining 1 large and 2 small base plates to create the total baseplate. The first few steps are very straightforward and create where the bridge meets the water.

Next, you build the road that makes up the actual draw bridge. Building the segments of the road is straightforward. I really like how you set the bridge parts on the side to create the ability to move the draw bridge.

Next, you build the towers on each side of the draw bridge. This took a while because there are so many 1×1 pieces, but it was clear where to put everything.

The build is finished off by connecting the 2 towers. This was a bit tricky to keep them straight because of how the banners are chained.

Things I liked:

  • Overall it is highly recognizable, and I like the amount of detail and coloring in the build

Things I didn’t like:

  • The banner connecting the 2 towers was difficult to get in place straight
