Tower Bridge is one of London's most iconic landmarks, so it is no surprise that it has been immortalised in LEGO® bricks several times. It has appeared in miniature in the LEGO® Architecture Skyline series set 21034 London. The 10214 Tower Bridge version had a shelf life of 8 years, so it must have been popular. But that set retired in 2018, so it is perhaps no surprise that the LEGO Architecture designers have decided to recreate it again, in a slightly smaller scale than its bigger sibling, as 21067 Tower Bridge. Let's take a closer look.

Recolours
There are no new moulds in the set, and given its piece count, only a modest 4 elements which have been recoloured:
- 8x Bar Holder with Hole and Bar Handle in Medium Azure (6628212 | 23443, 49755, 109636)
- 8x Bracket 1x2 - 2x2 Centered in White (6596746 | 7674)
- 4x Brick Sloped Double 45° 1x1 in Medium Azure (6628215 | 35464)
- 8x Technic Driving Ring Connector Smooth [2 rounded and 2 flat side walls] in Medium Azure (6628210 | 42195)
Naturally most of the recolours are medium azure, but it's exciting to get the popular new bracket in white.
Rare elements
The following elements have been seen in just one other set to date:
The bottom row have been seen in 2 or 3 other sets:
- 4x Plate 1x1x 2/3 Half Round with Side Stud in Dark Azure (6589635 | 3386)
- 16x Bracket 1x2 with 1x2 Vertical Studs in Tan (6453349 | 4585)
- 8x Brick Sloped 75° 2x1x3 with Hollow Stud in Sand Green (6423394 | 4460)
- 16x Brick Sloped 75° 2x2x3 Double Convex in Sand Green (6417961 | 3685)
New prints
The following new printed tiles are exclusive to this set:
- 8x Tile 2x2 with 5 arched windows print in White (6627596)
- 16x Tile 2x2 with 3 arched windows print in White (6631251)
- 44x Tile 1x2 with 2 arched windows print in White (6631250)
- 36x Tile 1x2 with single arched window print in Tan (6627595)
- 8x Tile 1x1 with single arched window print in Tan (6627594)
- 1x Tile 1x8 with Groove with Tower Bridge print in Black (6627592)
- 2x Tile Special 2x3 Pentagonal with Coat of Arms print in Pearl Gold (6627593 | 22385)
A wonderful selection of Gothic (or to be exact, Neo-Gothic!) windows are provided which will doubtless be popular with architecture and medieval builders.
The stunning pentagonal tile shows the coat of arms of the City of London, sadly minus the supporting dragons.
The build
There are 25 bags of parts in total. Because the bridge is symmetrical, there will inevitably be some repetition.
Bag 1 lays out the watery base of one half of the model. Bag 9 would make the other – it is up to you if you decide to do them both at once, or sequentially once bags 1-8 are complete.
Bag 2 (and 10) makes the foundations of the tower, along with some internal LEGO® Technic beams which will provide extra strength for the tower arches later.
Bag 3 (and 11) builds the road deck which spans from the bank to the pier under the tower. Placing 32 white 1x1 round plates with bar is a little hard on the fingertips but they do make an excellent detail along the sides of the pedestrian walkway.
Bag 4 (and 12) constructs the lifting section of the road deck. This is hinged via Brick Special 1x2 with Rotation Joint Pin (4920) and Brick Special 1x2x 1 1/3 with Rotation Joint Socket (80431) which together have a ratchet action. This means the deck can rest in various positions without slumping under its own weight.
Bag 5 (and 13) starts to build up the arches at the base of each tower which allow the road deck to pass through.
Bag 6 (and 14) includes a clever technique for defining the interior of the arches, in their distinctive medium azure colour. The assembly is built as a sub-model and then slots in either side of the vertical LEGO Technic beams by placing the sub-model upside down. It is then locked in with a long LEGO Technic axle passing through the pinhole at the top of the beams and a 1x1 LEGO Technic brick built on top of the sub-model on plates which have been placed across the top of the upside down chunk.
These strengthening measures (not yet built in the image above) ensure that the arch is a suitable place to pick up the finished model without it collapsing. The instructions warn (right at the end) that picking it up by each end of the road deck is wrong, and even with only half of the model built at this point, if you need to move it, then using the arch is a good balance point and has enough strength, by the end of bag 6, to prevent disaster.
Once bag 6 is done, the first layer of light bluish grey banding is complete.
Bag 7 (and 15) takes the tower up to the next floor level and continues to build the four rounded turrets above that.
Bag 8 (and 16) caps off another floor with more double-grey stripes. If you haven't already been building the other half, it's time to go back to step 1 and do so now! In my haste to get going, I didn't notice the telltale "2x" in the instructions, so that's exactly what I had to do.
Bags 17 and 18 make up the two upper walkways and the area of the Thames river joining the two halves under the lifting section of the bridge.
As you can see, the full width of the model was beginning to test my photography location, as well as my build location! I would recommend building the bridge as close to where you want to display it as possible; it is pretty awkward to move. If you pick it up under each arch, the natural orientation is to carry it across your body - but you then find it's too wide to fit through most doorways or up and down the stairs.
The instructions suggest building up the top of the first tower completely before moving on to the other, with identical steps repeated in the manual (having turned the build through 180 degrees after finishing the first one). I decided it was easier to just double up each level as I was going, so this is the result of bags 19 and 22. This stage properly locks in the upper walkway bridges to the rest of the build.
Bags 20 and 23 build up the 8 square corners of the towers, with tiles attached to the sides of SNOT bricks to provide further detailing.
The final turret tops and mansard roofs are completed with bags 21 and 24, topped off with some fancy pearl gold details:
The use of brackets, ingots and various modified plates provide plenty of architectural greebles, while those lovely printed windows come into their own here.
It's a bit of a pity that you can see some of the antistud side of the corner turrets, but these are less visible when looking at the model straight on, rather than at an angle as in the above image.
It's almost finished, but there is just one more bag of pieces to go.
The final bag, 25, provides the parts to make some cars, vans and a bus to place as traffic on the bridge, and the cable stays arcing up to each of the towers.
Conclusion
It's a lovely-looking model which certainly represents the iconic landmark well. It appears to be a slightly smaller scale than the previous LEGO incarnation, set 10214. I definitely prefer this version, not just because it is a bit smaller, but also for its more refined design.
It still requires a lot of space to display it effectively, with a built size of 35 x 89 x 19 cm (13¾" x 35" x 7½"). Although the price is not cheap at £269.99/ $349.99/ €299.99, the price per part is 7.2p/ 9.3¢/ 8.0¢ which could be worse.
By its nature the build is a bit repetitive, but the results are worth it. We don't see any new moulds here, and only a very modest selection of recolours and rare elements. I can definitely see that those printed tiles will be a popular buy from online Pick a Brick in a few months, and are excellent for enhancing any microscale creations with a Gothic flavour.
