LEGO Architecture's new Tower Bridge set will pair well with many models, thanks to the landmark's prolific appearances across pop culture and promotions.
21067 Tower Bridge is only a couple of weeks away, launching on August 1 for £269.99 / $349.99 / €299.99. You can make a suitable tribute to the landmark or London as a whole by picking up one of several current or retired sets.
As one of London's most iconic landmarks, Tower Bridge has made several appearances across pop culture and brand promotion, meaning there are several sets that you can reasonably pair with the new Architecture set. Here's a look at some options, including a look beyond other London models.
Another Tower Bridge and more London models
Any of the three London sets on shelves right now will ideally go with 21067 Tower Bridge. This includes 21034 London, 40569 London Postcard, 40953 London Bus, despite none of them being at the same scale. The retired 10214 Tower Bridge is another good pick, but only if you already own the 2010 model.
Spider-Man
Thanks to Tower Bridge's major appearance in Spider-Man: Far From Home, adding the hero next to or swinging around the new Architecture model would be a great display.
The retired 30443 Spider-Man Bridge Battle is ideal for this, but you can also find a Marvel Cinematic Universe Spider-Man minifigure in 76349 Spider-Man Prison Transport Chase.
Peppa Pig
While this suggestion won't be too appealing to most of you reading this, Tower Bridge does appear briefly across Peppa Pig's series and games. It just so happens that the LEGO Group has a line of DUPLO Peppa Pig models on shelves now, too.
Pairing the likes of 10452 Camping Trip with 21067 Tower Bridge would be an appropriate display, but perhaps not the very best.
Sonic the Hedgehog

LEGO Sonic the Hedgehog's main minifigure will look great on 21067 Tower Bridge as a reference to the London run scene in the third Sonic the Hedgehog movie.
77117 Sonic: Speedster Lightning is the most affordable method of acquiring an appropriate Sonic the Hedgehog minifigure, available now for £8.99 / $9.99 / €9.99.
Godzilla (kind of)
The upcoming LEGO Ideas Godzilla set, which has no confirmed release date at the time of writing, is another good model to pair with 21067 Tower Bridge. Godzilla has never actually crossed paths with the landmark, but his British homage from the 1961 movie, Gorgo, did.
As seen in the clip above, posing the eventual LEGO Ideas Godzilla model next to 21067 Tower Bridge would be a fun idea to pay tribute to movie history, even if it's not the same character.
Land Rover

A giant LEGO model of Tower Bridge was used to promote the new Land Rover Discovery car, recorded by Guinness World Records as one of the biggest LEGO sculptures ever.
With this promotion in mind, pairing 21067 Tower Bridge with the upcoming 77264 Jaguar Project 7 & Land Rover Defender would be a good display for fans in the know. Both sets launch on August 1.
Friends

Friends' The One with Ross’ Wedding, Part 1 episode features many moments of the cast in London, including a brief shot of Joey and Chandler crossing Tower Bridge on an open-top bus.
You can find minifigures of the duo in the more recent 10292 The Friends Apartments set, and you can sit the two on top of 60407 Double-Decker Sightseeing Bus for an homage to this episode beside 21067 Tower Bridge. This and the other Friends set based on the sitcom are now retired.
Doctor Who
Tower Bridge has made several appearances across Doctor Who, as you would expect from the British TV series. While there are no LEGO Doctor Who models or minifigures currently on shelves, owners of either the LEGO Ideas 21304 Doctor Who or the 71204 Doctor Who Level Pack from LEGO Dimensions are in a good spot ahead of 21067 Tower Bridge.
The best method of making a Doctor Who tribute out of 21067 Tower Bridge would be to display either of the TARDIS builds in front of 21067 Tower Bridge, and the model from 71204 is best suited given its smaller scale.
