The world, which is made up of over 45 million blocks, took a team of 15 professional Minecraft builders and two academics over two years to create.
The players start at the Royal Opera House and LSE Library – before being transported back to the old King’s College Hospital, which stood on the same site in the 1890s.
Professor Sally Bushell from Lancaster University said: “The LSE world build was a fascinating one to make because it was so closely linked to the Booth Archive.
I really enjoyed reading and mapping out the original walks in the notebooks held at LSE and then bringing them to life. “
The world build has been released as LSE marks its 130th anniversary, during which the university will be celebrating its impact, past and present.
A version for members of the public to play will be available on the Minecraft Marketplace later this year.
