The LEGO Group has opened the doors to its brand-new LEGO Store in Battersea, London, located in the newly restored Battersea Power Station.
Paying homage to the local community, the new store showcases an intricate, eye-catching big build of Battersea Power Station which features 14,500 LEGO bricks and took 160 hours to complete. A LEGO brick mosaic wall conveys a stylised depiction of Battersea Power Station, using 108,291 bricks, and weighing 167kg.
Ahead of its opening in 1955, the second stage of the of the construction of the Power Station was completed in 1948, so fittingly the design of the mural harks back to 1940s style tourism posters and features a stylised depiction of the Power Station along with a unique Minifigure of a child from the era bridging the areas of architecture, technology and play.
