London Penguin Parade sculpture trail: Dates, locations, how to see it and key information

This Christmas a cute colony of colourful penguins will take over part of London.

No, before you panic they aren’t real! Instead, they are part of a magical sculpture trail being run in collaboration with the WWF.

The free trail, run by Fleet Street Quarter, is the p-p-p-perfect way to celebrate the festive season with little ones or friends.

Each sculpture has a QR code with interesting facts about the majestic bird.

Here’s everything you need to know about the Penguin Parade, that will take over the Fleet Street Quarter next month.

When does the London penguin trail run?

The penguin parade will be in place for eight weeks starting from Thursday, November 14.

The trail will be in place throughout the festive period and New Year.

Where is London’s Penguin Parade?

London’s Fleet Street Quarter will be transformed into a magical winter wonderland in support of the WWF.

A colony of 12 penguins will be found throughout the Quarter.

Each penguin, decked out in unique festive finery designed by talented artists, will be perched in iconic spots like Chancery Lane, New Street Square, Ludgate Circus, and Fleet Street, adding a splash of Antarctic charm to the City.

How to find the penguins

A map will be available on the Fleet Street Quarter website closer to the time.
