One of London's most famous residents, Paddington Bear, has had a street art mural painted at Waterloo / South Bank in his honor. The mural appeared at the end of last year in time for the "Paddington 3" movie, and I photographed the artwork early this spring where it was getting a lot of attention from many people who were passing by. The street art is the work of Peruvian artist Gisella Stapleton, which is fitting considering that the character of Paddington Bear is originally from Peru.
Paddington is an ambassador for inclusion, and the mural has the words: "Mrs. Brown says that in London everyone is different and that means everyone can fit in."
The mural can be seen at Sutton Walk near the arches underneath the train line from Waterloo Station to South Bank.
