Maze of the Week #214 - The Shard

Maze of the Week #214 features The Shard building in London, England. I like making mazes of places I have seen, and I did happen to visit the observation tower when I was there. I want to wish it a happy birthday since it was opened on 1 February 2013. This is not my first maze from London as I have made a few of it’s neighbors into mazes also:

• Maze of the Week #58 - The Gherkin

• Maze of the Week #93 - London City Hall (no longer city hall)

Great architecture in the city. To see some background on the construction, check out this video:

Here are some photos from my visit. Typical me never took a photo of the actual full building. You can see the former city hall and some other famous sites.

Maze of the Week #193 - Double Decker Bus Maze

As you read this, those of you that read with a voice in your head (or about 80% of you), should be hearing an English accent. Why ? Well Maze of the Week #193 is of the iconic red Double Decker Bus you’d find in England. I was very excited to take on this challenge and like how the maze came out. I have previously made a maze of some buildings in London:

London City Hall Maze (the old one)

Gherkin Building Maze

These will not be my last mazes from London. Back to today’s maze. It is for kids. Color. I did some research. There is a MAZE HILL. I used an advanced technique on the windows which make them look like windows ! Enjoy.

Free Maze download is available in the Vehicle Maze section of the site.

Maze of the Week #58 - The Gherkin

Maze of the week #58 takes us to London, England with this maze of The Gherkin building. I made a few different versions of this maze as you’ll see below. If you want to visit the building at 30 St Mary Axe you can check out their the Gherkin website. Or check out this cool article featuring 28 facts about the building.

Take 2 minutes to watch a video about the building:

The Mazes: I prefer the full color skinny version below that highlights the height and form of the building.

Version 2: The black and white “wide” version which has a different maze/solution than the color version !

I hope you enjoy the mazes. Downloads of the Gherkin Maze are available.
