London has seen its fair share of quirky sculpture trails over the years - Snowman, Penguins and Paddington, to name a few. Yet, none have truly piqued my interest until the latest addition: Snoopy! The beagle with a heart of gold and his ever-loyal sidekick, Woodstock.
As a child, I had a soft spot for Snoopy. I acquired the sheet music for the ‘Hill Street Blues’ theme, which I butchered to the point of no return, and then I thought, “Why not tackle ‘Linus and Lucy’ by Vince Guaraldi?” I butchered that too! If you grew up watching Charlie Brown and Friends, you’ll understand how for me, Guaraldi’s tune is forever linked to Snoopy in my mind. (If you find me on Instagram you can hear it if in any doubt on the post with some of these photos on it).
The Snoopy trail kicked off on 19th November and will run until 16th January 2026. You can grab a map from local businesses, print it at home, or simply keep it on your phone.
Each of the twelve sculptures is unique and comes with a scannable QR code for an audio trail. I braved the elements (it was raining) and managed to see a few sculptures before I had to dash off. But fear not! I plan to return and collect all twelve. After all, who wouldn’t want to frolic in the London rain with Snoopy?
Until next time, stay safe out there people!
