This winter, London’s historic publishing district Fleet Street Quarter transforms into a playful open-air gallery celebrating the 75th anniversary of Snoopy, with sculptures created by twelve artists. The beloved Peanuts character returns to the very streets where he first came to life on printed pages, connecting past and present through a vibrant artistic trail.
From November 19, 2025, to January 16, 2026, visitors will discover twelve unique Snoopy sculptures, each designed atop his iconic red doghouse, scattered across the city’s oldest streets. The free outdoor exhibition is a collaboration between Fleet Street Quarter BID, Wild in Art, and Peanuts Worldwide, bringing together creativity, nostalgia, and community spirit. The installation will debut alongside the Fleet Street Christmas light switch-on ceremony on November 19, adding festive color to London’s winter season.
A New Stage for Public Art
For over a century, Fleet Street was the beating heart of Britain’s journalism and comic culture — home to early printing presses and magazines such as Punch. The return of Snoopy, one of the world’s most beloved comic characters, to the birthplace of print storytelling carries a poetic resonance: a character born in newspapers returns to the streets where stories were once printed.
Lady Lucy French, CEO of Fleet Street Quarter, captures this sentiment:
“Fleet Street has always been a place where stories come alive — from newspapers to literature, comics to contemporary art. Hosting Snoopy is a joyful way to celebrate that storytelling tradition anew.”
Charlie Langhorne, co-founder of Wild in Art, describes the project as “a community-driven initiative that aims to make art accessible to everyone.”
Art, Memory, and Urban Joy
The Snoopy Sculpture Trail is more than a nostalgic celebration — it’s part of Fleet Street Quarter’s broader cultural revitalization. The area, which recently hosted Oskar Zięta’s Whispers installation for the London Festival of Architecture and the Festival of Words, continues to evolve as a space where art becomes a natural extension of urban life.
Through Snoopy’s cheerful presence, Londoners are invited to rediscover joy, imagination, and the enduring power of stories. Seventy-five years after his creation, Snoopy once again stands at the heart of the city — reminding everyone that creativity, humor, and shared narratives still bring people together.
