LOOK out down there! 

Lilliputian Londoners came face to foot with Attack of the 50 Foot Woman-style giants this week.

But don’t worry, it was all a trick of the camera to celebrate comedy-thriller The 39 Steps’ fifth year on the London stage.

The show – a rib-tickling take on the Alfred Hitchcock classic film of the John Buchan novel– is the West End and New York’s longest running comedy.

It recently celebrated becoming the longest running show in the 136-year history of the Criterion Theatre. 

Piccadilly Circus has been rendered in Lego in this picture (that means over 20,000 Lego bricks – so watch your step).
