Paddington Bear

Discover the charming Paddington Bear statue at Paddington Station, a must-see for visitors of all ages. This life-sized bronze sculpture, created by artist Marcus Cornish and unveiled by Paddington’s creator Michael Bond in 2000, sits on Platform 1 beneath the iconic station clock—right where the beloved bear first met the Brown family in the classic stories.

With his suitcase, hat, and the famous “Please look after this bear. Thank you” label, Paddington patiently awaits photo opportunities and is one of the most photographed landmarks in the station. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or discovering him for the first time, the statue offers a delightful connection to British literary heritage and a perfect spot for a memorable selfie during your London adventure.
