Iron Throne’s UK Tour
Confirmed by Sky News, the Iron Throne will tour the UK carrying a new design from the one shown in Game of Thrones.

In addition to its locations in London, the Iron Throne will also be traveling to Cardiff, Wales, and Edinburgh, Scotland and we’ve included the dates of its arrival below:
- Leicester Square, London – 15th August
- Cardiff – 17th August
- White City, London – 20th – 21st August
- Calton Hill, Edinburgh – 24th – 25th August
House of the Dragon’s New Throne
Forged from the blades of Aegon Targaryen’s enemies, the new Iron Throne stands 10 feet tall and 12 feet wide, built from 2,500 swords – some of which were used on the sets of The Witcher and Warcraft.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, showrunners Ryan Condal and Miguel Sapochnik explained that they did not scrap the original design entirely but focused on communicating a time of influence and wealth in their remodel:
“If you look closely enough within that object, you will see the original object. We have not thrown out the original design, but instead augmented it.”
