Davina joins the Paddington Trail

From 4 November to 30 December you can follow in the furry footsteps of the world's favourite Peruvian explorer.

Fifty Paddington statues have been placed across London close to museums, parks, shops and key landmarks in an inspiring trail. Each of the statues have been created by artists, designers and familiar faces - with the trail following the travelling bear’s favourite places in London.

Davina has combined Paddington with a Union flag to create a very noble looking bear, called Paddington Jack. He certainly looks quintessentially British, especially on Horse Guards Parade. This is one of Paddington’s favourite London places because he can see the Changing the Guard here.

"I’m thrilled to be part of The Paddington Trail," said Davina. "I grew up reading the stories about the loveable, furry guest who comes to live in London. As a mother who was born in London, I hope my design excites children into having their own adventures in the capital."

Davina hopes that her Paddington design will raise lots of money for the charity at auction after the trail

Fancy finding Jack? He's lives on Clive Steps, Horse Guard Parade, outside Churchill War Rooms, Westminster, London, SW1A 2AE.

Did You Know? Children can contact Childline free of charge at any time of the day or night even on Christmas Day.

Top Tip

Until 5 January 2015, the pop-up Paddington Curiosity Shop has opened up inside Selfridges department store close to this location.

Adopted by: Paddington & Company on behalf of Action Medical Research

Action Medical Research is Paddington's favourite UK charity and Davina is a keen supporter, so Paddington & Co is delighted to be sponsoring this bear on their behalf.
