Happy Birthday, Charlie Chaplin!
Born on 16 April 1889, Charlie Chaplin didn’t just make films – he changed cinema forever.
From his unforgettable “Tramp” character to his trailblazing work in silent film, Chaplin’s genius still moves and inspires audiences across the globe.
If you’re wandering through Leicester Square – the heart of film and entertainment – you can say hello to Charlie yourself. His bronze statue stands proudly in the gardens, surrounded by fellow film icons, reminding you of the magic he brought (and still brings) to the screen.
So next time you’re in the West End, take a moment to visit. Pause, smile, and remember a legend who gave the world laughter, heart, and timeless brilliance.
