Have you spotted the adorable Paddington Bear enjoying a little marmalade snack on a bench near you? Ahead of his latest movie, a brand new Paddington Bear Statue trail has been unveiled across the UK and Ireland – find out how to visit!
With the release of ‘Paddington in Peru’ next month, the film studio StudioCanal has created the perfect photo opportunity with these strategically placed Paddington Bear benches.
From John O’Groats to Land’s End, find a spot next to Paddington as he gets stuck into a delicious marmalade sandwich.

Paddington bear statues have been unveiled all over the country over the past week. There will be 23 locations overall.
Locations include Newbury – where creator Michael Bond was born – and, of course, London Paddington railway station.
StudioCanal has teamed up with Ordnance Survey to create a map of the trail, so fans can find their nearest Paddington Bear statue. Each location on the map is accompanied by a recommended circular walking route suitable for little legs on a family ramble.
