Description
London Edition chess set with a distinguished line up of London’s most-notable architecture including Big Ben, London Eye, St Mary Axe, The Shard and Canary Wharf. An ode to the modern masterpieces within the city. Terraced houses play the perfect pawns, Big Ben makes for a regal rook, the London Eye is cast as the knight, 30 St Mary Axe steps into the role of the bishop perfectly, whilst the Shard lends its elegance and might to the role of the queen. When it comes to the Big Smoke, the stature and significance of Canary Wharf is the only building that can take on the role for king, and this piece stands at four and a half inches tall.
