Principal photography and production began on 13 September 2013. Filming locations for Paddington were mostly in West London. The Paddington Station scenes were mostly filmed inside London Paddington station, although the exterior establishing shot used the front entrance of nearby Marylebone Station in Marylebone.

As fans of the classic movies will know, the Brown family, who take Paddington Bear in as one of their own, live at 32 Windsor Gardens. However, off-screen, the address does not actually exist. Instead, the Brown family home featured in the movies was actually filmed in Primrose Hill's Chalcot Crescent.
Filming took place in London's Little Venice for three days, and also at Shepton Mallet Prison and Knebworth Park. Craig Revel Horwood choreographed the prison dance scene.
Paddington Bear may have taken home by the Brown Family to the fictional 32 Windsor Gardens, but it was a road in Primrose Hill that starred in the Paddington live-action films.

Filming commenced in the United Kingdom on 24 July as planned, despite reports that it was delayed due to the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike. The film was also shot in Colombia and Peru.
We are also delighted to have welcomed Emily, Olivia, Antonio and Carla to the Paddington family.” “Paddington in Peru” began principal photography in July, with filming taking place in London, Peru and Colombia.

The man behind the marmalade-loving character is late author Michael Bond. The tale goes that he bought a small toy bear for his wife after seeing it left alone on the shelves of Selfridges one evening. He named him Paddington after the train station close to his home.
Now the dream houses of many Londoners, these terraces in Chalcot Crescent tend to sell for a minimum of £4 million these days. The specific house used in Paddington appears to have gone up for sale in 2017, after they finished making the film. According to Savills it was sold for about £3.2 million at the time.
Where did Paddington Bear come from before arriving in England?
Although Paddington now lives in London, England, he originally came from Peru where he was brought up by his Aunt Lucy after he was orphaned following an earthquake when he was just a few weeks old.
Michael Bond based Paddington Bear on a lone teddy bear that he noticed on a shelf in a London shop—with Bond saying "it looked rather forlorn"—on Christmas Eve 1956, which he bought as a present for his wife.
Hawkins said in a statement to Variety, "For me it has felt the right time to hand the reins over to another, and one can't get much better than the truly wonderful Emily Mortimer, she is extraordinarily special. She will embody the essence of Mary Brown and yet make it utterly her own."
One big reason for these delays could be the change in directors. Paul King, who directed the first two Paddington films won't be returning for Paddington 3, with director Dougal Wilson taking his place. Paddington 3 has obviously had some serious production issues, and there are no signs of them being ironed out yet.
For the all-important station where our bear hero is discovered, only one place would do: the railway platforms were indeed filmed at Paddington Station, though we don't see the statue of a little duffel-coated bear that now stands at the entrance.
Production began in October 2016, and the film was released on 10 November 2017. In this film, Paddington's attempts to buy a birthday present for Aunt Lucy go catastrophically wrong when he is wrongly accused of stealing a valuable pop-up book from Mr. Gruber's shop.
Paddington Ursus (or Paddington the Bear) was a wild specimen of Peruvian bear of whom Michael Bond owned and cared for since it was four months old. It died in 1974, aged 28, from health issues. This live specimen was what inspired Bond to write the Paddington series in 1958.
But PEOPLE has learned that the video was filmed in March at Windsor Castle, with Paddington added later by CGI techniques. It's likely that a staff or crew member sat opposite the monarch during filming to help her.
The Natural History Museum is a Paddington movie filming location. In the scene, Millicent Clyde, A cruel taxidermist played by Nicole Kidman, shows Paddington what she's planning to do with him.
At the beginning of Paddington, Paddington lives with Lucy and Pastuzo, who adopt him as their nephew. They live in a treehouse in the forests of Darkest Peru. They regularly listen to the recordings that Clyde left them, as they hope to visit London someday.
They had a real dog called Percy, who did many of the shots on set (dogs are, obviously, very trainable), but it was "very hard to get Paddington to run on the dog's back", so these shots had to be completely CG, with a digital Wolfie.
