Over 50 years ago, after his Aunt Lucy went into The Home for Retired Bears in Lima, Paddington Bear™ left darkest Peru &, after stowing away in a ship’s lifeboat & living on marmalade, arrived in London. He was found on Paddington Station by Mr & Mrs Brown who took him home to live with them, naming him Paddington after the station where he was found. It is here where the walking tour begins & you’ll have the opportunity to visit the statue of Paddington & visit the Paddington shop which stocks a wide range of Paddington products. Now he has his second movie, you can follow in Paddington’s paw prints with the official Paddington Bear™ Tour of London & visit some of London’s neighbourhoods & sites that have featured in more than 20 books, plus several film locations from both movies. You can learn about Paddington’s adventures, discover how the movies were made & find out how good your Paddington Bear™ knowledge really is. The walking tour finishes at Portobello Road where Mr Gruber’s shop is located.
