The world’s tallest Lego towers

Abbreviated from the Danish words, leg and godt, the literal translation of the word Lego is “play well” and for almost 100 years that’s exactly what children and adults the world over have been doing. But since 1980 Lego has been used for much more.

Following the construction of a Lego tower in Milton Keynes, England (13.1m tall in 1980) a new world record was set and over the last 30 years that record has been broken 42 times, most recently, back in the UK at Legoland, Windsor.

Despite Dubai holding the world record for hosting the most world record breaking activities, the ‘tallest Lego structure’ record has never been broken in a Middle East country.

Previous record holder, Seoul, South Korea enlisted an army of toddlers to build its 31.9m tower, but the record stood for less than two months.

Here is a roundup of the 10 tallest towers to be made from Lego:
