Characters
- Paddington Bear (voiced by Ben Whishaw) — a young, kind, Peruvian bear who moved to London after an earthquake destroyed his home. He lives with the Brown family—Henry, Mary, Judy and Jonathan—and next door to Mr. Curry. He is liked by everyone except Mr. Curry. Whishaw reprises his role from the films.
- Henry Brown (voiced by Darren Boyd) — the head of the Brown family. Initially, he detested Paddington, but began to change his view of him as time moved forward. He is the husband of Mary and the father of Judy and Jonathan.
- Mary Brown (voiced by Morwenna Banks) – the wife of Henry and the mother of Judy and Jonathan.
- Mrs. Bird (voiced by Phyllis Logan) — a distant relative of the Browns who lives with the family. She is very wise and looks after the house, doing all the cooking and cleaning.
- Jonathan Brown (voiced by Bobby Beynon) — the son of Henry and Mary.
- Judy Brown (voiced by Sabrina Newton-Fisher) — the daughter of Henry and Mary.
- Mr. Curry (voiced by Reece Shearsmith) — the Browns' immediate neighbour, an elderly bachelor with a negative predisposition.
- Mr. Gruber (voiced by David Schofield) — a benevolent shopkeeper.
