Scenes in the Square sculpture trail welcomes Indiana Jones

Wednesday 28 June: Hollywood’s most famous archaeologist comes to Leicester Square, following the official unveiling of the statue at the premiere of Indiana Jones and The Dial of Destiny on Monday, attended by Harrison Ford.

Indiana Jones becomes the tenth statue of the ‘Scenes in the Square’ trail, joining the esteemed company of Harry Potter, Laurel & Hardy, Bugs Bunny, Gene Kelly in Singin’ in the Rain, Mary Poppins, Mr Bean, Paddington and iconic DC Super-Heroes Batman and Wonder Woman.

Launched in February 2020 and curated by Heart of London Business Alliance supported by Westminster City Council, ‘Scenes in the Square’ is an interactive sculpture trail that celebrates iconic and exciting scenes and characters from the past 100 years of entertainment, all interacting with the destination in their own unique way, making Leicester Square a must-visit location by day and night, beyond the film premieres we associate it with.

The trail is supported by a deluxe outdoor map, partnerships with Visit London and Spotify and an audio walking tour hosted by Alex Zane.

Mark Williams, Director of Destination for Heart of London Business Alliance, said: “We are beyond thrilled to welcome Indiana Jones to the Scenes in the Square trail, honouring the character’s major part in cinema history since 1981 and cementing Harrison Ford’s status as a movie icon.”

“The dynamic statue trail is a true celebration of entertainment and there are few more worthy inclusions than the legendary Indiana Jones. Taking pride of place on Leicester Square’s bustling north terrace and unveiled on the nationwide release of his fifth cinematic adventure, Indy promises to be a hugely popular addition to the Square.” For further information, please visit Discover Leicester Square.
