Paddington Bear Cafe

It was a huge honour for Avocado Sweets to be selected to design Paddington’s first ever café in the heart of Paddington Station. With a brief to create a welcoming environment with wide appeal to fans and commuters alike, the café needed to carefully combine a range of Paddington™️ touches in an effortlessly contemporary space for all. In short - a cafe everyone’s favourite bear would have enjoyed and approved of!

The curated look and feel brings in visual cues from Paddington Bear’s long career. From the original 1958 Peggy Fortnam illustration, faithfully reproduced as a piece of mural art, through to a life-size statue of the animated bear from the modern day films and TV series. The iconic felt hat is reimagined as pendant lighting while a large orange ‘marmalade’ tree and a live green wall evoke his Peruvian jungle heritage.
