I remember the main character as being a girl who is transformed into a statue too by magic and at one point in the book she swims across a lake to some sort of temple where the statues gather... There's a boy in it too who's also transformed.

"The Enchanted Castle" by E Nesbitt?

"Draughty," said Eliza, "and law, what a lot of steps to clean! What they make houses for without no walls to 'em? Who'd live in," She broke off, stared, and added: "What's that?"

"What?"

"That white thing coming down the steps. Why, it's a young man in statooary."

"The statues do come alive here, after sunset," said Gerald in very matter-of-fact tones.

"I see they do." Eliza did not seem at all surprised or alarmed. "There's another of 'em. Look at them little wings to his feet like pigeons."

"I expect that's Mercury," said Gerald.

"It's 'Hermes' under the statue that's got wings on its feet, said Mabel, "but "

I'm trying to remember the name of a film that I saw as a child at Christmas. All I can remember is that it was set in London, that it featured children leaving letters to someone at the statue of Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens and that it was possibly set in winter or at Christmas. Hope someone knows what it is!

Never Never Land (1980)
aka Second to the Right on Till Morning
From Wikipedia:
Seven-year-old Zena (Anne Seymour) has been abandoned by her parents and left in the care of her Aunt Bee Melvin (Petula Clark). Zena is treated poorly by two of her cousins, and taking her lead from the story Peter and Wendy, she runs away from home with her younger cousin. She finds shelter in an abandoned London townhouse occupied by a gang of young ruffians, and becomes the equivalent of Wendy role-playing "mother" to the Lost Boys. An old woman named Edith Forbes (Cathleen Nesbitt, in her final screen performance) befriends the girl.
TRIVIA:
The film's theme song "Fly Away" was composed by Jane McNealy and Alice Kuhns. It is included on "The Petula Clark Anthology: Downtown to Sunset Boulevard", a CD released in 2000.

The little girl who joins the group does leave letters at the Peter Pan statue. I have hazy memories of it, but the statue and Kensington Gardens figure importantly in the story. I watched this film a number of times when it was shown on HBO and have a copy of it somewhere in my vast videotape collection. (You can pack three or four movies on a tape!)

It was early 80's show about group of children and the garden statues that came to life at night and the adventures they had.

Was it 'Tom's Midnight Garden'?

I am doing a memorial garden for my two children who sadly died recently and need to have a pink teddy and blue teddy memorial statue but don't want to pay hundreds of pounds for it. Does anyone know where I can get cheapish ones?

Price shouldn't be an issue here. They are your beloved children! If you can't afford something you really want, either wait and save up or choose something else. Would you buy them something cheap if they were still alive? No, you wouldn't. You'd give them something that they would love or enjoy. I have lost 2 children and would never choose something based on price to remember them. I'm not saying spend thousands, I'm saying choose something that feels special and save up for it.
