Sneak Peek inside Paddington Bear Shop London

Just inside the door of the shop is one of the best loved statues from the Paddington Trail art exhibition.

This was one, arguably the most well-known, of 50 small statues of Paddington placed around London during the lead up to the Paddington movie release in December 2014.

Each statue was decorated by famous artists and well known celebrities from the UK and beyond.
