We have several Boardwalk and Dowdle puzzles in our home. This is by far the worst puzzle I have ever bought. Many of the pieces are identically cut and fit in the wrong place. This is especially true of the sky blue edge pieces that required many disassembly and reassembling before they all fit and I'm sure the last piece might be in the wrong place due to the fit. This is in stark contrast to the prior Dog Walker puzzle that took much longer to put together but the pieces all fit perfectly. I will not purchase another puzzle from Boardwalk unless I'm sure it does not have all square pieces like the London puzzle.
We've been buying Dowdle puzzles for over a decade so thought we'd try the Boardwalk puzzle for some variety.
We were so disappointed in this puzzle. As mentioned in another review, the pieces are nearly identical and all fit into each other. We had so many instances of having to piece by piece go back and check only to find out two identical sized pieces with nearly identical coloring were swapped. Wasted so much time and energy fixing pieces that fit together perfectly but were not correct.
It was such a shame and we won't be purchasing Boardwalk puzzles in the future.

This puzzle is ribbon cut, and basically any piece could go with any other piece. The image is busy so that helps, but the top edge in particular was frustrating as it's the same gradient all the way across. I'd stick to the Boardwalk puzzles that are crazy cut.
The colors are amazing, reminding me of everything we saw when we went to London. It's challenging but doable.
Candi,
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a review for our London - 1000 Piece puzzle! We're so glad to hear that the colors brought back fond memories of your trip to London and that you found the puzzle challenging yet enjoyable.
Happy puzzling!
