LEGO Architecture 21045 Trafalgar Square

LEGO 21045 Trafalgar Square is an Architecture set depicting the well-known London square.

This set places Trafalgar Square within the LEGO Architecture theme, which focuses on scaled interpretations of real buildings and places. It is not tied to a story-based licence, but to an architectural and urban subject, presenting a public space strongly associated with London.

Its emphasis is therefore on layout, massing and overall recognition rather than characters or play scenes. The parts are used to compress the square into a compact display model, with a stylised approach consistent with the Architecture range.

LEGO 21045 is mainly suited to Architecture collectors, people interested in urban landmarks and builders looking for a model to display. Within the theme, it belongs with sets based on real locations, and can be understood through its city subject, restrained presentation and compatibility with other architectural display models.
