We're all big Paddington Bear fans, so we were really looking forward to checking out Paddington Station, where Paddington met his adoptive family, the Browns, in Michael Bond's 1958 story A Bear named Paddington.

Three movies have since been made about Paddington and his adventures. The bronze Paddington statue in the station is where he met the Brown family in the first movie.

We were all excited to buy a Paddington Bear toy from the Paddington Bear store at the station, which had a huge range of Paddington branded gifts and souvenirs, from marmalade to hats, to puzzles and lunchboxes.

We also got to meet Paddington on his adventure to Peru, from the most recent movie.
