If you’re looking for something to do with the kids over the Christmas holidays then let me tell you about the free Snoopy in the City sculpture trail. You can download a map from their website and go in search of the sculptures.
Snoopy in the City sculpture trail
Last weekend we decided to visit the Snoopy in the City sculpture trail, featuring twelve uniquely designed Snoopy lying on his dog house in that classic pose we all know. Each one has been designed by a different artist and they are dotted around the Fleet Street Quarter in London.
We’ve found the Fleet Street Quarter to be quite quiet at the weekend, but this time we found a Black Sheep Coffee shop open, so were able to dive in for a warming hot chocolate. It took us about an hour to find all the sculptures, and the streets felt familiar after exploring the Penguin Parade trail at the start of this year.
They were all so beautifully decorated. My favourite sculpture was the gingerbread house (obviously!) but they were all so cute and colourful.
We stopped for lunch at St Paul’s which has a great selection of places to eat, unless you have a dog. Thankfully my teen really wanted to try the Grinched Menu from McDonald’s. So we took it in turns to hold the dog whilst the other one ordered, and found a bench to sit on. I didn’t mind the Grinched McShaker Fries, but she didn’t. She loved The Grinch socks.
Our day out was fun trying to find all the Snoopy in the City sculptures. Do you think you will visit it this winter? It’s free to visit until the 16th January.

That’s just adorably cute!!! Public art trails are the best way to explore a city without having to rush around too much.
We’re hoping to head into London next week to see the lights, we will have to do the Snoopy trail too, that looks so cute. I love Snoopy!
We keep talking about going into London and this would be great fun as my daughter loves Snoopy and woild be something different to do and see as well
Oh, that is so cute! Snoopy and the gang are the best part of the holidays for me, so I really love this!
omg I love snoopy so much. This is like the best trail ever. These sculptures are very well done, they’re beautiful.
That is so cool! I grew up on Snoopy during the holidays, and I think this is just about the holliest, jolliest thing I’ve seen.
I’m in London on Saturday so I wonder if I’ll spoke any. If not I’m going in just before it ends in Jan so I may need to make a trip to find some x
