Clifford the Big Red Dog at Leicester Square, Bronze dog sculpture in Leicester Square, England.
Clifford the Big Red Dog is a bronze sculpture in Leicester Square that portrays the beloved red dog character from children's literature at approximately 5 meters in height. The figure sits nestled among flower beds and is one of several entertainment-themed statues positioned throughout the public space.
The bronze statue was unveiled in December 2021 and marks the tenth addition to the long-standing collection of sculptures populating the square. The installation extended the public art offerings in this well-known London gathering space.
The sculpture was created to support animal welfare charities and reflects how children's book characters are used to promote pet adoption across British culture. It shows how beloved fictional dogs connect to real conversations about caring for animals in everyday life.
The sculpture is centrally located on Leicester Square and easy to find, especially if you follow the signage marking various character installations throughout the space. Visiting during daytime allows you to see the bronze details clearly and appreciate the craftsmanship of the work.
The figure is the result of intensive craftsmanship and was carefully created by a team of artisans over several months of dedicated work. Its substantial weight and size make it a remarkably durable structure designed to withstand decades of weather and public interaction.
