Environmental campaigner Leo Murray, one of the designers behind the project, said the aim was to create a symbol of the public opposition to Trump's visit, Dezeen reported.
It is reported that nearly two million people signed a petition calling for the visit to be stopped, stating that it would "cause embarrassment to her majesty the queen".
"For me, in the face of a humanitarian disaster like climate change or Donald Trump, it really is a case of having to laugh, or cry. So I choose laughter," said Murray," in a statement published by Metro.

"Ridiculing tyrants and despots is a proud British tradition," Murray said. "If this generation is going to have to fight fascism again, we may as well have a bit of a laugh while we are doing it."
"He needs to be run out of town, figuratively at least. But how? This is a man who lacks the capacity for moral shame. Liberal outrage just makes him smirk harder," wrote Murray.
"To really get through to Trump, you have to get down on his level and talk to him in a language he understands: personal insults."
The comical blimp sees Trump reimagined as a baby with "tiny hands and a malevolent, constipated expression on his face", dressed in a nappy and clutching an iPhone.
The creators funded the Trump Baby blimp with a crowdfunding campaign. After receiving numerous supporters and reaching its initial goal funding, the project has been extended, with the blimp set to make a world tour after its London debut.
