This year comes with an inspiring addition, as part of Pride in the Quarter, say hello to our sponsored lion just outside, a sculpture that forms part of a free public art trail in the heart of central London.
The trail celebrates community, creativity and culture, making it the perfect addition to a day out in the city alongside a visit to our LEGO® takeover. Feeling inspired after meeting our Pride in the Quarter lion? Why not try building your own version in LEGO® while you’re here.
From 27 July to 28 August 2026, we will be open Monday to Friday, 9am to 4.30pm.
