Paddington Bear Walking Tour for Two
About this experience
Go off the beaten track and discover lesser-known, picturesque parts of London by following in the paw-steps of that enduring favourite, Paddington Bear™. He’s come a long way since leaving darkest Peru, ending up in Paddington Station to be found by Mr. and Mrs. Brown.
So, in the spirit of the story, your walking tour will kick-off at Paddington Station. Over the duration of your 2 hour 30 minute tour, you’ll visit some of the sites that have featured in the more than 20 books, as well as film locations immortalized by the two feature films. Learn about Paddington’s adventures, discover how the films were made and ask any burning Paddington Bear questions you might have of your entertaining guide.
The tour finishes up at the world-famous Portobello Market, where you can visit Mr. Gruber’s antiques shop. As part of the tour, there will be a short bus journey, so you will need either an Oystercard, Travelcard or Contactless card valid to travel in Zone 1-2.

Customer Reviews
“Coulsdon Manor and Golf Club”
Stayed Saturday night with DBB. A gift from our friends. Near Purley and Mayfield's Lavender Farm. Can be tricky to find. Great hotel, friendly staff and good food and service. Bar open 24 hours but credit card details required on booking if you want to drink use bar after 11 pm. Lift and disabled facilities (ask). Great golf course/scenery. Good room (110). A mix of old and new. Recommended.
“Average”
Hotel was nice but a bit run down and need some TLC. The staff were pleasant but it just seemed like it was everyone's first day and no one knew what they were doing. Food was good though!
“Disappointment in every sense”
After having our wedding reception at Coulsdon Manor we thought using a one night experience voucher gift there would be a great way to reminisce. How wrong we could have been! For a start the hotel reception was freezing due to a broken window, but the bar (only entertainment), was out of action for refit and the make shift restaurant bar was awful, so uncomfortable! The room was dirty, shabby and broken. The grounds looked unkept and all the communal decor was the same from 2004! Very poor!
