Build the world’s best-known clock tower!
Get up close to Big Ben! The clock was first started on May 31st 1859, and Big Ben’s first chime rang from the 96-metre Elizabeth Tower on July 11th of the same year. This over 23” (60cm) high LEGO® interpretation of the iconic structure is a tribute to its engineering and architecture. It features a detailed facade with statues, shields and windows, and a clock tower with 4 adjustable clock dials and a removable roof allowing access to the belfry, plus buildable exterior elements including a sidewalk, lawn and a tree depicting the building’s location. This model makes a great display piece for the home or office.
- Big Ben features a detailed section of the Westminster Palace and the adjoining Elizabeth Tower, 4 detailed clock dials with movable hour and minutes hands, and a sidewalk, tree and grass area depicting the building’s location.
- Remove the top of the tower to access the Big Ben bell.
- Put your LEGO® building skills to the test!
- Special elements include 4 printed clock faces.
- Rare elements include ski poles, flowers and corner plates in molded gold color, and tinted-translucent elements.
- This set includes over 4,000 LEGO® pieces. This set offers an age-appropriate building experience for ages 16+.
- Big Ben measures over 23” (60cm) high, 17” (44cm) wide and 7” (20cm) deep.

Finally a decent model from Lego this year and substantially cheaper than previous sets. I wonder if the criticism for those other bigger sets has caused the price reduction?
I can understand that there’s a lot of repetitive components, but you definitely seem to be getting a lot more than in those licensed sets.
Awesome set. One for the purchase list this year 🙂
After seeing the leaked images the other day i really couldn’t wait for the official press release. Day 1 purchase definitely. Probably gonna be the best D2C this year
Wow what a beauty! Also £170 for 4K pieces!? This really makes Assault on Hoth look like a joke (even more than it already was).
I love how you can change the time!
