Over 50 years ago, after his Aunt Lucy went into The Home for Retired Bears in Lima, Paddington left darkest Peru and, after stowing away in a ship’s lifeboat and living on marmalade, arrived in London.

He was found on Paddington Station by Mr and 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 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.
