Fifty Paddington statues will be placed across London close to museums, parks, shops and key cultural and landmark hotspots in a trail with a colourful, Paddington flavour. The 50 Paddington statues will be created by artists, designers and celebrities, with the trail tracking the travelling bear’s favourite places in London.

From October 2014 visitors will be able to follow in the furry footsteps of the world’s favourite Peruvian explorer when the Paddington Trail is launched.

In the movie, the young, stowaway bear finds himself alone in a big, unfamiliar city. He soon finds a warm, welcome place to stay with the Brown family, and sets out to discover more about his adopted city, London (hopefully with plenty of marmalade sandwiches along the way!).

Paddington’s origins date back almost 60 years. His creator, Michael Bond, bought a small bear on Christmas Eve 1956 as a present for his wife, and named him after the nearest railway station to which they lived.

All of the Paddington Trail statues will be auctioned later in the year to raise money for the NSPCC. The film has an all-star cast, including Nicole Kidman, Hugh Bonneville, Sally Hawkins, Jim Broadbent, Julie Walters and Peter Capaldi.
