Here is an overview of the city at London. This city is arranged in a very compact manner, fewer streets, more alleys, to allow for less traffic congestion in the area. It is very easy to get around this area by foot, and most cars run right by the area. Parking areas are provided outside the city at London.

 

 

LEGO Street is the "main drag" here in London. Thousands will take to the streets everyday to walk to work, school, or the big football (soccer) match. There are usually few foot traffic jams, yet this street can provide for some of the liveliest atmosphere in town. Street musicians and magicians perform in front of tens of people every half-hour.

 

 

The Maxted Stadium is the destination for all soccer/football fans here and in all of the LEGO Cities of Chris Fortier around the world. This facility allows for intimacy between the players and the fans while keeping the dimensions of the field to allow for exciting action. In the many games played here, friendly exchanges between players and fans add interest and keep people at their seats.

 

 

Block Street, which runs parallel to LEGO Street, is the lesser-traveled road for many. This street runs by the airport, control tower and the south end of the London Bridge housing development. Block Street is the scene of basically, well, nothing. A few people walk up and down the street but with so much action on LEGO Street, the citizens tend to go there instead of here. This makes the route better for those who are in a rush or have just arrived and are lost in this simple city.

The Victory Arch is the symbol that Chris dedicated April 1, 1997 to indicate his victory at getting overseas and bringing a long lasting partnership with the United Kingdom and the LEGO City of Chris Fortier. The plan for this city, introduced in 1996, was seen as a huge flop waiting to happen. After lobbying his parents and working hard at his job for six months, he made it to Gatwick Airport in London with 17 good friends and proceeded to tour England and build LEGOs. A symbol of his trip to England lies on the Pierre Level. The Northern Historic District was entirely produced and purchased in England, at a department store down the hill from Windsor Castle. Chris brought it back from the UK and built it temporarily on the Lucette Level before moving it to the Pierre Level.

This is showing the ground level plaza next to the London Tower. London Tower and the modular building next door form the London Brickness Park where business is conducted from all over the world. Many companies based in LEGO Cities across the United States have bureaus here and conduct their British business from this area. The park is about 99% occupied and has no plans for expansion.
