London\u2019s architectural creativity took a festive turn this week as the Museum of Architecture opened its annual Gingerbread City exhibition, showcasing edible interpretations of the capital\u2019s most recognisable landmarks.<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s standout attraction is a meticulously crafted gingerbread version of Big Ben, created by architects at Purcell the same firm responsible for the tower\u2019s recent real-world restoration. The team sculpted the iconic clockface using clear sugar, allowing it to glow from within, a delicate detail that required precision and patience.<\/p>\n
Hosted at Coal Drops Yard in King\u2019s Cross, the exhibition brings together design teams from across the city to reimagine London in gingerbread. Alongside the edible skyline, visitors can participate in hands-on workshops where they can build and take home their own miniature gingerbread houses.<\/p>\n
The Gingerbread City is open to the public from 29 November 2025 to 4 January 2026, after which all biscuit structures will be responsibly recycled.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
