Where to find London's 'adorable' new Bridget Jones statue in Leicester Square
A brand-new bronze statue of Bridget Jones has taken up residence in London’s West End, joining a star-studded line-up of film icons in Leicester Square. The unveiling celebrates 25 years of the rom-com heroine and marks the first rom-com character to be immortalised in the square’s famed “Scenes in the Square” trail.
In the heart of London’s cinematic centre, Leicester Square, Bridget Jones now stands in bronze, diary and pen in hand, dressed in a mini-skirt and cardigan as captured on film.

The statue was unveiled on November 17, 2025, in a ceremony attended by actress Renée Zellweger and Helen Fielding, the novelist who created the beloved character.
This addition brings Bridget into the company of cinema legends such as Harry Potter, Mary Poppins, and Paddington Bear—all part of the “Scenes in the Square” sculpture trail launched in 2020.
Where to find Bridget Jones in Leicester Square
The sculpture occupies most of Leicester Square, with characters visible throughout the area. Bridget can be found in a prime position opposite Queen’s House, which houses Horizon’s Casino.
Bridget is in good company with Bugs Bunny and Indiana Jones, both of whom are situated nearby.
The decision to celebrate a rom-com character speaks to the enduring cultural resonance of Bridget. Fielding commented that it’s a “huge thrill” for her creation to be honoured as a British icon alongside such cinematic heavyweights.
Zellweger, meanwhile, described the statue as “adorable” and noted that what makes Bridget so relatable is her humanity, her flaws, hopes and messy moments.
Is it free to visit?
Yes! The Scenes in the Square trail is completely free to visit and enjoy. Visitors to Leicester Square can now find Bridget’s statue as a free, public photo-moment in the West End.
Positioned in a square long associated with film premieres and London’s entertainment heartbeat, it offers a new destination for both film enthusiasts and those simply enjoying London’s pop culture landmarks.
