Paddington Bear

Created 13th October 1958.

Inscription on the green plaque reads:
Paddington Bear
As described in Michael Bond's best-selling book, 'A Bear Called Paddington', Paddington Bear first arrived at Paddington Station in 1958.
Scenes from his first big-screen adventure, 'Paddington', were filmed here at the station in the autumn of 2013.

Inscription on the bronze plaque on the statue reads:
Mr. and Mrs. Brown first met Paddington on a railway platform. In fact, that was how he came to
have such an unusual name for a bear, for Paddington was the name of the station.
From “A Bear Called Paddington” by Michael Bond began Paddington Bear’s long association with this station
