★★★★★ London’s iconic clock tower on the Thames
Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament tower over the Thames, with a red double-decker rolling over Westminster Bridge and an old-fashioned streetlamp in the foreground. Pink roses and lavender bloom on the waterfront — a nostalgic portrait of London that radiates warmth and British charm.
Why this cross-stitch kit?
The rich palette of warm sandstone hues, the iconic red of the bus, lavender purple, and soft pink make this a versatile project with a cheerful look. With 22 thread colours, the Gothic details of the Westminster tower and Big Ben's clockwork are fully brought to life — advanced stitchers will find a challenge, beginners a solid foundation.
Who is this embroidery kit for?
A lovely travel gift for anyone who took a city trip to London, and a heartwarming birthday gift for Anglophiles, British culture fans, or lovers of royal history. Also ideal for those who have lived or studied in London — a tangible reminder of many walks along the Thames.
What's included in this cross-stitch kit?
- Pre-printed 11CT embroidery canvas — symbols and colour numbers are already on the canvas, so no counting needed
- 22 colours of premium eco-cotton thread (Huacan) — stronger and more colourfast than standard thread, less prone to breaking
- Two gold-plated cross-stitch needles in a convenient protective case
- Step-by-step instructions in Dutch, also suitable for beginners
- Printed symbol chart for reference during stitching
Which size is right for me?
20×30 cm is a fun weekend project to quickly add a London accent to a study or reading nook. 40×50 cm (the most popular size) looks great above a console table or in a hallway — a charming reminder of city trips. Larger sizes (from 60×80 cm) reveal all the Gothic details of Parliament and Big Ben’s clockwork — a real eye-catcher.
Please note: the physical kit is available in 30×40, 40×50, or 50×70 cm. Other sizes are provided as a digital pattern (PDF download).
