Recently we spend a weekend in London and Kermit came with us to explore the city. Although it was just a short-trip, we saw the most important sights and Kermit even had some time for shopping.

Once we were in the city, we took a first shot at Victora Station.

At the Thames we saw the famous observation wheel London Eye. Kermit was scared by the height, so we did not take a ride.

  • Hi,
    Glad to see I’m not the only travelling Kermit enthusiast. I received my Kermit in 1977 and he’s been travelling all over the world with me ever since. So like yours he’s got a pretty cool photograph album and always leaves a trail of bemused but smiling faces. We live in Australia now and I saw you on a morning news show. Couldn’t believe someone else was doing the same thing. Have fun and maybe our Kermits will bump into each other some day.

  • Very good – I loved the London tour.

  • I absolutely love your site. I discovered it this morning in a local newspaper. After having a tough day in work I logged on and viewed Kermits travels. Made my day : ) Im from Dublin. I hope Kermit enjoyed his time in my fair city. I have an Animal Pook A Looz teddy and I have done something similare over the yrs on a smaller scale. He was bought in Florida, moved home to Ireland. Had a vacation in Biarritz. Rested a bit then he went to Croatia, Bosnia and all around Ireland. Its great fun!

  • I work in London and sometimes I forget how beautiful it can be. But seeing Kermit exploring my home town made me smile and appreciate where I live and work. Thank you so much and love to all, especially Kermit! x

    I loved seeing these pictures from London.

  • Fantastic to see Kermie having such fun. I was in Deer Creek Leland, Mississippi in July and visited the birthplace of the Frog. Kermit should pop home sometime I am sure he would love it. Will watch his travels, great sense of humour and great photos. Thanks for sharing
