Jigsaw puzzles are so last century, but 3D jigsaw puzzles bring the concept right up to date. I got this, along with the Eiffel Tower puzzle (Eiffel Tower 3D Puzzle), as birthday presents and really enjoyed putting both of them together. This set is real top quality and the pieces fit together perfectly. Some of the pieces have hinges that require you to bend them before you fit them to their neighbours, and there are plastic pieces as well that help hold the model together. Each piece is numbered on the back to help you if you get stuck, along with direction arrows to the piece that comes next. If I have a criticism of the London set, it's that the model once complete doesn't fit very securely to the base, and it's only slightly better with the Eiffel Tower because it has a larger footprint. The upper segments could also do with a bit better grip on them for those who choose to leave the models on display instead of disassembling them and returning to the box afterwards.
I liked the two I had so much I have just ordered three more in the series!

Great product
Bought for my London obsessed son - he LOVES it. He thoroughly enjoyed building this, not too tricky (he's 9) but enough to keep him interested. Very nice puzzle.

After you put it together, you want to leave it on display as it looks good.

good puzzle
this was a great puzzle I liked it but others wanting a more challenging puzzle might not agree as all the pieces are numbered and its just a case of building by numbers
