The statue, masterfully crafted by renowned British sculptor Sir George Frampton, appeared magically, without any formal unveiling or announcement. The figure of Peter Pan, dressed in his iconic green tunic and wearing a thoughtful expression, was placed in a secluded spot near the Long Water, surrounded by the lush greenery and the serene beauty of the gardens. The statue, which depicted Peter Pan with his famous sideways-pointing hat and holding the hand of a little boy, was an instant sensation among visitors.

With Peter Pan, he managed to create a figure that seemed to embody the spirit of childhood, adventure, and imagination. The statue remains a cherished symbol of these qualities, and a must-see attraction for visitors to Kensington Gardens.
