Paddington Bear London Walking Tour
Paddington Bear Walking Tour of London – Overview
Paddington Bear™ – probably the most famous bear to ever travel the world. Over 50 years ago, he left Peru and, after stowing away in a ship’s lifeboat and living on marmalade, arrived in London. Mr and Mrs Brown found him on Paddington Station. They took him home to live with them, giving him the name “Paddington” after the station where he was found.
It is here where the walking tour begins and you’ll have the opportunity to visit the statue of Paddington and visit the Paddington shop which stocks a wide range of Paddington products.
Now he has his second movie, you can follow in Paddington’s pawprints with the official Paddington Bear Tour of London and visit some of London’s neighbourhoods and sites that have featured in more than 20 books, plus several film locations from both movies.
Learn about Paddington’s adventures and discover more about the making of the movies. Also, find out how good your Paddington Bear™ knowledge really is.
Finally, the walking tour finishes at Portobello Road where Mr Gruber’s shop is located.
