About Me
Hello, I’m Jacob — the guide behind The Marmalade Trail, and a lifelong fan of everyone’s favorite bear from darkest Peru.
My journey with Paddington began the way it has for many: sitting cross-legged in front of the TV, completely captivated by the classic stop-motion series. From there, I was hooked. I devoured the original books by Michael Bond, fascinated by Paddington’s endless curiosity, kindness, and knack for getting into gentle mischief. As I grew older, the magic never faded. When the beloved bear made his way to the big screen, I was right there in the cinema — a grown-up still grinning like a kid.
Now, I’ve combined my love of storytelling, history, and (of course) marmalade sandwiches to create a unique walking tour that celebrates Paddington’s world in London. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or just discovering him for the first time, I’d love to share the places, stories, and hidden gems that make Paddington’s London so special.
Come join me on the trail — and don’t forget your suitcase.
