There is a bronze statue of our favourite bear at Paddington Station, along with a Paddington bench or two to sit and take photographs on. This is where he first arrived from Peru, carrying a small suitcase and marmalade sandwiches. The statue is the work of British sculptor Marcus Cornish and was unveiled in 2000.

Just behind the main station you will find the Paddington Arm of the Grand Union canal at Little Venice. This oasis of calm and tranquility is a contrast to the nearby busy roads. Several operators offer boat trips that go to Regents Park or the bustling Camden Market.
