Legoland Windsor
— — a small kingdom built one brick at a time.
Not only on a wall.
“A family park set on 150 acres of Berkshire parkland, west of Windsor and a short drive from the castle. Opened in 1996 on the grounds of the old Windsor Safari Park, it is built around Miniland, where European cities — London, Amsterdam, the harbours of the south coast — are rebuilt at small scale in millions of bricks. A place children remember by name twenty years later. — from the studio
Legoland Windsor, on ceramic.
Each tile is finished by hand in our Knoxville studio. Artwork is slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, and rests beneath a thin glossy finish. The colour lives in the surface, not on top of it.

The place, in three passes.
Legoland Windsor Resort sits on roughly 150 acres of parkland in Windsor, Berkshire, about three kilometres southwest of Windsor Castle and 32 kilometres west of central London. The park opened in March 1996 on the grounds of the former Windsor Safari Park and was the second Legoland in the world, after Billund in Denmark. It is owned and operated by Merlin Entertainments. The resort includes the main theme park, two on-site hotels, and around 55 rides and attractions aimed primarily at families with children aged two to twelve.
At the heart of the park sits Miniland, where European landmarks are rebuilt in Lego brick at roughly 1:20 scale. The London cluster includes Big Ben, Trafalgar Square, Tower Bridge, and the Shard; other zones recreate the canals of Amsterdam, the harbours of the south coast of England, and a small French quarter. Park records put the build at roughly 40 million bricks. The models are weatherproofed for the British climate and revised as the skylines they portray continue to change.
The park typically opens from mid-March through early November, with seasonal events at half-term and Christmas. Standard tickets are sold by Merlin Entertainments, with advance online booking running cheaper than the gate price. The site is reached by car from junctions 6 or 3 of the M4, or by rail to Windsor & Eton Riverside or Windsor & Eton Central and a shuttle bus from the station. On-site lodging includes the Legoland Resort Hotel and the Legoland Castle Hotel.
