Little Homes of England featured thatched brick cottages, outhouses and chimney pots at their table. The range of artisan created houses is extensive, and the popular dollhouse kit builders have sales areas as well.

All scales are represented, with traditional houses being widely available in both 1:12 and 1:24 scales. The show catalogue has a special section which features the vendors who work in 1:24 scale. The Birmingham show also demonstrated that 1:48 and 1:144 houses and furniture are increasing in popularity. The booths featuring those scales were constantly busy over the two days of the show.
