Make Your Own London Landmarks

An engrossing book and kit to construct your own impressive models of five of London’s iconic landmarks. Informative, fact-packed profiles explore the history and construction of each building, spanning Sir Christopher Wren’s (1632-1723) masterpiece St Paul’s Cathedral, built 1675-1710; the Gothic Revival splendour of the Palace of Westminster, rebuilt 1840-1870 to designs by Charles Barry (1795-1860) and Augustus Pugin (1812-52); through to the London Eye, built for the Millennium and loved ever since; and Renzo Piano’s (b.1937) The Shard, completed 2012. Then carefully tear-out the book’s perforated pages, each of which includes thin cardboard-model pieces to press-out and fold. Follow the detailed folding instructions and slot the tabs together to see the colour-printed pieces form intricate models to display. Cleverly designed to slot together, you may choose to add glue or Sellotape (not included) to make your buildings even sturdier. An absorbing construction kit which teaches you about favourite elements of London’s skyline as you build. Published in 2014, the book is printed with the original selling price of £14.95.
