Designers Portrayed What These 4 Famous London Landmarks Would Look Like If They Were Built According To Children’s Drawings
We’ve become used to the way the great monuments of the world look. London is blessed with many great landmarks, the Buckingham palace, Big Ben, the Eye, the Bridge, and many, many more. Have you ever wondered how you could tweak them? Probably not, for it’d require a lot of creativity and imagination and even courage to do so. I mean, they already look perfect…
But such a challenge is a piece of cake for a child. And so, the UK housebuilder Barratt Homes asked a few children to try and reimagine these famous landmarks to their taste. And away they went. Then, they asked some digital artists to recreate their drawings in 3D, to let the whole world know how they would look in reality. See for yourselves!

Woodland Big Ben

Big Ben has been reimagined by Daisy, aged 11, and features a wood construction giving it a naturalistic finish. Those hanging baskets which look a lot like beehives also serve as wellbeing pods, where tourists and city workers alike can sit down, relax, and take in the sights of London. Daisy has also featured an ornate dragonfly sculpture sitting just below the clockface, as well as smaller bee sculptures scattered throughout helping to bring in more of the woodland nature feel. The finishing touches around the base include hanging ivy and some crystals.
Tower Bridge Theme Park

Our next London Landmark reimagining was drafted up by Navneet, aged 7, who has turned Tower Bridge into a full theme park. Thrill seekers would rejoice knowing that it now features a rollercoaster, waterslides, a racetrack, and a giant bouncy castle. If a leisurely swim sounds more up your street, however, Navneet has also incorporated an infinity pool which would be sure to offer some unique views of London’s skyline. For any visiting VIPs, there are also 2 helipads the shape of pizza slices that sit above each of the towers.
The Star London Eye

Designed by Syeda, aged 8, this reimagined version of the London Eye foregoes the round shape and instead uses a visually striking star. With neon lights throughout, this new addition to London’s skyline would be sure to brighten up the city all year round, and is sure to be a big hit over the festive months. And for a ride to remember, Syeda’s design also features several traditional square cars where visitors can take flight.
The Spooky Shard Coaster

Our last landmark to be reimagined is by Ayan, aged 6, who has turned The Shard into a haunted roller coaster. Using the building’s height to his advantage, Ayan’s created a white-knuckle ride that stretches the entire length of the building. Ghosts and vampires also patrol the tracks, whilst the orange and green colourways add to the Halloween theme.
