Bear necessities: Paddington is back in the spotlight on platform one
(Picture: Network Rail)The famous statue of Paddington Bear has found a brighter new home in Paddington Station after protests from fans – including actor Hugh Bonneville.
The bronze statue, which has become a visitor and tourist attraction, had been moved to a “dark, dingy corner” of the station when the Elizabeth line opened in May. This was because its original location, under the clock arch, became an evacuation route.
