The Londoner Macao
A half-scale Big Ben and Houses of Parliament façade front Cotai's most literally-themed resort — right down to the red double-decker buses.
The Londoner Macao opened in 2021 as a rebuild of the former Sands Cotai Central, fully re-themed around British landmarks. Its façade is dominated by a scaled replica of the Houses of Parliament and Elizabeth Tower (Big Ben), and the theming continues inside with red phone boxes, double-decker buses used as photo props, and a recreation of Trafalgar Square's fountains in the lobby.
What to do there

Good to know
The Londoner sits at the far end of the Cotai Strip from The Venetian and Wynn Palace — still walkable between resorts, but factor in a bit more time than resort-hopping among the more tightly clustered properties.
