Review: LEGO 10350 Tudor Corner Modular Building
13
The 10350 Tudor Corner is the 2025 LEGO Modular building and returns to its customary launch date of 1 January 2025, letting you start the New Year building a new Modular Building. As is tradition.
This Tudor-inspired building receives the honour of being the 20th Modular Building, joining a long and illustrious collection that has defined Creator Expert, or LEGO Icons as its known today, and set designer François Zapf makes an immediate statement with this set, as it’s one of the best modern modular buildings, and a strong contender for one of the best ever. Not bad for a new LEGO Designer working on his first retail LEGO set, with his only other set credits being the 40729 Shackleton’s Lifeboat GWP.
Fresh perspectives abound in 10350 Tudor Corner, and don’t let the Tudor architecture or cosy British pub vibes lull you into a sense of complacency as this is a Modular fan’s Modular Building, and a sensational entry in the series.
10350 Tudor Corner will be released on 1 January 2025 for LEGO Insiders ahead of a 4 January general release exclusively on LEGO.com or your local LEGO Store. As a bonus, fans who purchase the set from 1-7 January 2025 will receive 40757 Corner Kiosk as a gift with purchase while stocks last.

Most LEGO sets now come in paper bags, and 10350 Corner Tudor is no exception, but I was delighted to find this new patterned bag for the instructions. It helps it stand out visually from the other white bags, and it’s a fresh change from the usual cardboard sleeve! A lovely surprise!
Building 10350 Tudor Corner
Fresh ideas, never-before-seen build techniques (from an official LEGO set) and a delightfully varied build epitomise the build experience of 10350 Tudor Corner.
From start to finish, LEGO builders will be taken on a journey showcasing so many varied techniques and interesting ideas all condensed into this 3,266-piece set. It’s a lengthy build, as most sets above 3,000 pieces are, but it goes by quickly because time flies when you’re having fun.
Being a new LEGO Designer has allowed François Zapf to really approach this unique and challenging build from the ground up, showcasing some really advanced and finessed building techniques, especially for the facade and exteriors.
Modular fans who may have felt like recent entries like the Museum or Jazz Club lacked a certain je ne sais quoi with their facades will be impressed by the varied techniques employed here to bring the Tudor Corner to life.
It’s a lot of fun, but it doesn’t end there as there’s plenty of fun interior furniture, and storylines to discover as you build the set, making this a complete build experience that lacks nothing. It is without a doubt, one of the best Modular buildings I’ve built since 2021’s Boutique Hotel, and this really pushes the envelope for what you can expect from a LEGO Modular Building.
The completed model
And here’s the completed Tudor Corner, which is one of the most visually striking modulars, thanks to the Corner building, which fully allows you to admire the Tudor-inspired architecture from different angles and faces.
The colours are lovely, but the real start of the show is the cross-gabled roof, which contrasts incredibly well with the white and black Tudor facade on the upper level. It’s important to be reminded here that this isn’t meant to be a historical representation of Tudor architecture, so treat this as a building that’s heavily inspired and an homage to Tudor elements.
One one facet of the Tudor Corner is a shared narrow building housing a Haberdashery on the ground floor, with a very cool grey, light blue and white colour scheme, which balances out the warm and bold colours used by its Tudor neighbours.
The techniques used for the dark/stainted timber lines for the Tudor facade are really clever, as these pieces just rest in these little diagonal nooks, and aren’t affixed to anything which I thought was really inventive.
If you look closely at the top section as well, you’ll also be able to pick out fine lines from the white plates, which are meant to mimic the brickwork of Tudor architecture, giving this section even more texture.
LEGO Modular buildings tend to have a rectangle, blocky silhouette as they were initially inspired by Townhouses or structures on a dense street, but the Tudor Corner’s cross-gabled roof gives it a distinct look, with some really aggressive angles executed perfectly here.
It also has a unique shape with this wedge here, creating a small terrace on the first floor.
At the side is this massive staircase that heads straight to the first floor, providing access to the Clockmaker’s showroom.
Classic LEGO humour is also here, as there’s a rotting fish in the trash, which is turning green whose stench is attracting a a white cat. Fun fact, this is also a nod to the set’s origins as a Fish and Chips shop. It’s still on the menu, but I do like the symbolism of throwing that idea in the trash.
Outside the restaurant that’s most definitely NOT an English pub is also some outdoor seating, and some rich brown windows, complete with red awnings. I also really like the abundance of botanical elements and decorative elements on the facade, which inject some much needed greenery and natural elements here.
Here’s a look at the entrance, and the printed sign, which is a lovely nod to 6067 Guarded Inn which famously incorporated Tudor architecture. Oh and I love the goats as well!
Other printed elements of note (no stickers in this set!) are these menus on the outside. Pay special attention to the fish!
And here’s a look at the Haberdashery facade, with the printed sign featuring some gorgeous lettering and masterful design work here with the gold flourishes. Did you notice that the blue lines create an outline of a hat?
Another key highlight in the printed element department is this beautiful clockface, with ornate floral elements on the face, and roman numerals.
As a casual fan of watches… I would’ve really liked it if they had used a watchmaker’s four, which uses four straight lines, instead of the traditional Roman IV. You’d have to be really into clocks and watches for this to be something you notice!
And here’s a look at a very quintessential British occupation, a Chimney Sweep on the roof.
And interestingly, these bollards at the front are a nod to the cannons from 6274 Caribbean Clipper, a rather pleasant bit of trivia and lore contained in the manual!
10350 Tudor Corner minifigures
Before we head inside to check out the Tudor Corner’s interiors, let’s meet the 8 minifigures from the set! LEGO have been leaning heavily into character-driven storytelling in the Modular Building collection, and there’s a fascinating cast of characters here!
Here’s a look at the cook, chimney sweep and the restaurant proprietor. I love the Chef’s expressive faces, and also the Restaurant Owner’s Aran sweater.
Meet the clockmaker, with his fantastic moustache and the very dapper Haberdasher. The haberdasher comes with a really nice pinstripe jacket, but I do wish the pinstripes extended to his sleeves and legs. Having them just sorta end abruptly makes them look weird.
And here’s a look at the Apartment resident, a guest with a very british combo of a Fisherman’s Hat, and classy tan trenchcoat and a mannequin from the Haberdashery.
And no, before you get excited, the guest isn’t Pippin Reed, although the manual does make a reference to her style being inspired by Pippin Reed from the Orient Express.
The apartment resident has an interesting story to her, which you’ll find out more when we get to her residence!
The ground floor features a restaurant that’s definitely NOT an English pub, despite there being a curved counter that screams ENGLISH PUB.
Instead of beer taps for the freshest LEGO draught beer, we have a coffee machine, and a selection of bottles on the back bench.
I really LOVE the plate of full English breakfast, with an inspired use of the grill piece for bacon, some toast and also a fried egg. No sausages, but that’s because the cook is making some in the kitchen, which is absolutely tiny and claustrophobic. The poor cook, no wonder she looks annoyed!
Oh and a very cool build is this tiny toilet hidden underneath the stairs, which you can easily pop open to place a minifigure on the loo. Really impressive ingenuity to not waste any space in the build, and still manage to make it fit into the layout naturally.
Next, let’s check out the Haberdashery next door!
The choice of a Haberdashery is fascinating given the twin meaning of the word, which will largely depend on which side of the Atlantic you fall on. For Americans, it’s commonly referred to as a place that makes and sells hats and other headwear, which explains the large selection of hats, beanies and caps for sale.
But if you’re British, Haberdasheries commonly sell small articles for sewing, dressmaking and knitting such as buttons, scarfs, and ties. As such, the store caters for both!
Funnily enough, you can also remove the wall which divides the Haberdashery and Kitchen – an easy way to get food and that also explains where the cook got her very handsome neckerchief! I wonder if Johnny Thunder gets his red scarves from this Haberdashery.
Moving upstairs, we have my favourite space, the Clockmaker’s Workshop. He has a massive space to display his horological creations and as a fan of watches and clocks, I can’t help but be enamoured by his craft! Fun fact, the clockmaker here contributed to the LEGO Town Hall’s clock!
His workdesk is nothing short of masterful, and I love the use of magnifying glass and also the hourglass here!
But the standout feature here are all the different clocks, from table-sized clocks, to cuckoo clocks, to tall grandfather clocks that adorn the Clockmaker’s workshop!
These are all so creative, and he must be proud of his work, especially as no single one is the same design. These are so fun to build and you are most definitely free to take these and place them in the interiors of your other Modulars, or perhaps try your hand at LEGO clockmaking!
And moving upstairs, we finally arrive at the Loft Apartment, a residential living space.
The most significant decoration here is this printed tile, where you can see a Sunflower lanyard hanging from a floating shelf. This is part of LEGO’s initiative partnering Hidden Disabilities Sunflower. For those that are unaware, people with non-visible disabilities, conditions or have sensory needs use sunflowers as symbols to communicate their status.
It’s a fantastic initiative for LEGO to back, and we’ll these sunflower lanyards in some sets releasing in January 2025 this year, and hopefully in more sets to come. It’s a subtle way to tell the story of this minifigure, which has a non-visible disability, and explains her headphones which are handy to help manage sensory overload.
She is also a cat owner, and there’s this awesome cat tree. I believe this cat colour is new as I’ve never come across it before! She also collects books and proudly displays beetles.
And I also love this kitty litter box. Or a cardboard box that cats play with because if it fits, the cat will sits!
Fitting in Tudor Corner into the LEGO Modular Street
10350 Tudor Corner being a corner building (which releases every 3rd Modular cycle) makes this a little tricky to integrate into your street, especially if you don’t have a large city diorama. Most people will display their Modulars lengthwise, so there’s only so many corners you can have.
It’s also quite “loud” so it doesn’t necessarily fit in quite nicely with the more subdued, rectangle American/European-style townhouse structures.
Here are several configurations, where I’ve bookended this short street of 10278 Police Station and 10312 Jazz Club with 10297 Boutique Hotel and 10350 Tudor Corner.
If you can craft a square from your Modular Buildings, that opens up a lot more possibilities, but if you display them all in a straight line, it’s a little tricky picking which Corner Buildings to use.
That said, when placed against these Modern Modulars, you can immediately see just how striking and different the Tudor Corner is, in all the best ways.
What I liked:
- Gorgeous Tudor inspired architecture
- Incredible challenging yet rewarding build experience with fresh techniques
- Great choice of businesses and spaces
- Truly the complete Modular Building and one of the best ever
What I didn’t like:
- As a corner building, it isn’t the easiest to integrate
Final Thoughts
I had an unbelievable time with 10350 Tudor Corner, and it has definitely eclipsed 10297 Boutique Hotel as my favourite modular, and I daresay that this incredibly gorgeous design has a strong argument to be made as one of the best LEGO Modulars of all time.
The Corner Tudor has it all, a challenging yet rewarding build experience that will dazzle and delight both new and modular building fans with fresh new ideas and techniques executed to perfection. I particularly love the focus on the facade, especially how well the Tudor architecture has been rendered.
The interiors are well-considered, with the Haberdashery and Clockmaker’s Workshop providing a rich backdrop of businesses that give colour and life to LEGO’s modular street. Two artisanal businesses that evoke a certain sense of tradition and heritage that you expect from a LEGO Modular Building.
10350 Tudor Corner truly raises the bar for LEGO’s Modular Building collection, and as the 20th entry, serves as a stunning bookend to a great run of modern modulars. If you’re a Modular Buildings fan, or even new to the genre, you will absolutely enjoy it from start to finish.
When I placed the last brick, I instantly knew that I would award 10350 Tudor Corner with a perfect 5/5 score. It delivers the complete LEGO Modular Building experience, with no cut corners, and for a US$230/AU$350 pricetag, feels like you’re getting excellent value in a set that is more than the sum of its parts.
10350 Tudor Corner is a stunning addition to the Modular Building Collection, and a must-have when it launches on 1 January 2025.
