Leicester Square is celebrating a century of cinema with an interactive trail of statues, bringing to life some of the most iconic scenes and best-loved characters from the movies.

As you walk around the square keep your eyes open for the bronze statues that could be situated on the paths, in the flower beds, or even on the roof of a surrounding building (can you find Batman?).

You can sit next to Mr Bean, jump on Harry Potter's broomstick, burst into song next to Mary Poppins, share a carrot with Bugs Bunny, or pretend you're ruling over Westeros on the Iron Throne.

You can also tune into an accompanying podcast narrated by TV's Alex Zane. It's completely free and packed with movie clips, film trivia and interviews with stars like Paddington's Hugh Bonneville and Gene Kelly's biographer. (Visit Spotify for details.)
