Explore Huge Scale Models of London at The London Centre

Explore London from new perspectives with these giant scale models of central London.

The New London Model
– 1:2000 scale
– 12.5 metres-long

The model stretches from King’s Cross in the north to Peckham in the south and from the Royal Docks in the east to White City in the west. It is updated 2-3 times per year using data supplied by developers and architects, and is the only place you can actually see what London will look like in the future.

NOTE: The New London Model will not be on display from Thursday 26th February to Friday 21st March.

The City Model
The City of London, also known as the Square Mile, is the primary business district and historic centre of London. The 1:500 City Model lets you experience the future of the City of London’s skyline and engage with new developments.

The model is used by a range of built environment professionals involved in the shaping of the City and includes exact scale replicas of the buildings in and around the Square Mile, with added detail on illuminated buildings built since the year 2000.

The original model base is now 30 years old; over this time the model has grown to include wooden blocks, detailed cardboard cut-outs and 3D printed buildings. There are three building colours on the model which are representative of different historical periods of the City’s architecture.
