LEGO House will be ripped down tomorrow!

Two-storey brick house too expensive to move

Posted: 21 September 2009

The LEGO house is due to be taken down tomorrow morning

The LEGO House built entirely of 3 million plastic bricks by Top Gear’s James May will be demolished tomorrow.

The two-storey house based in the middle of Denbies Wine Estate in Dorking, Surrey, was built as part of the forthcoming BBC series James May’s Toy Stories.

The house faces the chop as the wine estate needs the land back. It had been due to move to Legoland theme park in Windsor., but this is no longer going ahead as moving costs of £50,000 make it too expensive.

The lifesize multi-coloured house includes a LEGO toilet, shower and staircase.

“Knocking it down is wrong on every level. It’s a really lovely thing,” said James May.

It's such a shame the house is too expensive to move, it seems like such a waste....wish it wasn't closing this week, would have loved to have taken the family to visit it! About 3 years ago

Yeah, it's sad Legoland couldn't take it, would have been a great addition to the park...I'm definitely going to watch the BBC programme to see how it was all built. About 3 years ago
