Well for a start I would make a better job of that telephone box. In fact I would make a better job of all those figures on the front of that book.

221b baker street, the London eye, Big Ben....
the list goes on

Probably the westminster abbey, to go with my knitted William and Kate

Though the Peace Pagoda in Battersea Park would also be cool to knit... think of how many different techniques you would use :o

The Tower Bridge would be awesome, I once saw it in Lego and it was amazing.

Buckingham Palace!

Maybe I'd knit a tube map blanket, or the iconic underground sign! Or, if a land mark, maybe good ol' London Bridge.

I'd love to knit one of the famous Trafalgar Square lions! Accompanied by one of those many pigeons, of course.

Makani V. · South Shields, England, GB · 1 project 5th May 2012

I'd love to knit the London Eye. And Sherlock Holmes of course, though he is hardly a landmark :lol

Jenny B. · Hatfield Heath, England, GB 4th May 2012

the gherkin could be made interesting - i think green wool should be used though ;)

Helen S. · Chippenham, England, GB 4th May 2012

The cat on the steps of 10 Downing street

Elizabeth H. 4th May 2012

A Life Guard from the Household Cavalry on sentry duty at Horse Guards barracks

Amy S. · Carlisle, England, GB 4th May 2012

Knitting the tower of London bridge would be quite a challenge, maybe with runners going across doing the London marathon, some of them in fancy dress!

EllieRaine · Leicester, England, GB · 5 projects 4th May 2012

I would love to knit Westminster or Buckingham Palace.

Challenging but worth it.

Cindy L. · Coopersville, Michigan, US · 1 project 4th May 2012

I would love to knit the telephone box plushie

I would love to knit either one of the portraits at the Tate (such a challenge!) or the London Eye

I'd love to knit the underground railway map. I fondly remember it from my first trip to London when I was quite unfamiliar with urban train travel. The map is a brilliant piece of communication and remains in my memory.

Sophie G. · 1 project 4th May 2012

I'd love to knit Westminster Bridge with Big Ben behind it, as that is where my fiance proposed to me. Complete with open-top tourist bus watching it all!!

Lyssie P. 4th May 2012

Trafalgar Square, complete with dive bombing knitted pigeons.

Rachael P. · London, GB 4th May 2012

The London Eye! I pass it on my way to university every day, seeing it makes me smile. =] It would need a hell of a lot of wire support, that's for sure!

Living in London makes the rest of the landmarks seem a bit samey, but not this one! <3

Big ben!

Debbie C. 4th May 2012

I would love to stitch that cute red telephone booth!
