Watch Half-Asleep Chris Build London Out of Legos
It all started with a single London Bridge set from the LEGO Creator line. That’s all it took to inspire YouTuber Half-Asleep Chris (a.k.a. Christopher Burton) to singlehandedly recreate the city of London using only Legos. To make matters more interesting, Chris didn’t take the normal route and built these sets from the comfort of his home. Instead, he went out to the real locations the sets were based on and constructed them there. All in all, Half-Asleep Chris hits over a dozen different locations throughout the city.

The London Bridge, Trafalgar Square, Piccadilly Circus, Big Ben… Chris even built the London skyline set while inside the gigantic London Eye Ferris wheel!
