People familiar with the geography of London should spot the error in this strip right away.

I mean besides the fact that Yeoman Warders don't wear top hats. I was pretty pleased to find a real LEGO component that gave the right impression, even if it's not perfect.


2025-09-05 Rerun commentary: The geographic error is that the Tower of London is on the other side of the Tower Bridge. But in terms of historical inaccuracies, scientific implausibility, and other downright wrong things, this ranks pretty low on the list of egregious errors in IWC.
