Welcome to London Street!

London Street aims to capture the charm of London's historic terraced brick houses, taking inspiration from neighbourhoods such as Soho and Islington. It's not an exact replica of any single house but brings together architectural elements that reflect the essence of London's urban landscape.

About the Model

The model consists of two brick terraced houses set on a fictional street. The ground floor of the buildings have brightly-coloured wooden shopfronts that are common throughout the UK. The buildings are placed at an angle to add interest to the composition of the model. They also add a layer of complexity to the build.

The left building is home to Erling & Sons Flower Shop, boasting an enchanting Sand Green, Tan, and Dark Orange colour palette. It draws loose inspiration from the Golden Eagle tavern on 59 Marylebone Lane.
The building on the right is home to Print and Map Shop. It uses a combination of Dark Red and Medium Nougat to replicate some of the more typical terraced homes found all throughout England. The ground floor design takes cues from the Print and Map Shop on Portobello Road.

I've had a lot of fun designing authentic details, such as the double yellow lines on the road or the lampposts that indicate a zebra crossing.

The buildings have full façades and open interiors so, for the relatively small 1000-piece count, you get two full modular-scale façades.

Facts:

1156 pieces.
4 minifigures (Map Shopkeeper, Florist, Girl, Man).
4 stickers.

I hope you find this charming model as delightful as I did in creating it!
