James May and his full-size Lego house
Top Gear presenter James May has just built the world’s first full-size Lego house – including a working toilet, hot shower and a very uncomfortable bed – using 3.3million plastic bricks.
James May and 1,000 helpers built the 20ft-tall Lego house on a wine estate in Surrey.

The home even comes with its own cat!
James even used Lego to make kitchen utensils, including a toaster, whisk, bread bin and iron.
The idea itself is something I would never of thought of in a million years. The sad thing about it is that the amount of work and money put into to creating the house, it will be knocked down as where it is situated (a vineyard) needs the space to grow crops.
James May is a presenter on Top Gear, a car show. So when I found out that he was doing this I thought what a good way to promote the show, but I also found out that last year here appeared in the Chelsea flower show and created a garden entirely out of plasticine. He produced the the garden as part of his BBC 2 series James May's Toy Stories, where he aimed to 'get kids out of their bedrooms and away from their Playstations'.
What a great idea!
