It's a place called London Street in China.

  1. Can’t see an American candy store so not authentic enough for me.

  2. It’s my favourite clock Big Bill and the famous Regent Road.

  3. Something like 80% of the world has never travelled internationally, so catering to domestic tourists who may not have the means to travel to London (cost of hotel, flights, tube and needing to know the language) is good, actually.

  4. They should add some pedicabs with ‘All I want for Christmas is you’ music playing on street.

  5. Their London probably has far fewer homeless, pickpockets and stabbings. They probably still have the overpriced tat though, and it is of course entirely nothing like the rest of the country

  6. They even got the anti truck of peace barriers. It’s all In the details

  7. I couldn’t wrap my head around why China makes these bizarre little recreations of the world, or figured it was something nefarious. But I was visiting my cousins in Hong Kong a few months ago, and I came to understand the reason they builds these temu Venices and Londons and stuff is because many many mainlanders aren’t allowed to receive a passport to see the world outside. Kind of makes this smol London even sadder, if you ask me.

  8. It’s got all you need, Big Ben, Parliament, what I can only assume is the Jedi temple (I’ve never seen that building in my life). All they need is to litter a bit more and I’m sold.

  9. Built as a place for expensive weddings if I remember right.

  10. I love Christmas shopping on *checks notes*… London Street

  11. Fuck me, who goes to London and thinks “this is mint, let’s have another”?!

  12. This looks like London if it were a desert level in a video game.
    Quite similar, but not quite thematically standard.

  13. I’ve actually been there, really nice and packed during national holiday in autumn; they have a mock parliament tour as well.

  14. I mean, it *is* a long way to go if you’re in China so. Why not?

  15. I like it… but it feels kinda fake? I’m not trying to make a joke about it not being the original, I mean as in it gives me the same feeling as an unpainted mini

  16. Is that truck with the crane actually doing work or is that just to add to the authenticity of the London skyline?

  17. I like that they’ve made it how they’d like it to be…like when you build a loving family in The Sims while your IRL parents are shouting and swearing their heads off at each other downstairs.

  18. They have a place in shanghai called Thames Town where you can get your wedding photos taken next to a pretend church. It’s very surreal.
