Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Walk, Memorial footpath in Central London, United Kingdom
The Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Walk is a circular footpath that connects four royal parks through central London and is marked by ninety aluminum plaques. The route follows a figure-eight pattern and can be started from various points along the way.
The walk opened on June 30, 2000, as a memorial created to honor Diana's connection to the city. The route was designed to follow places significant to her life and public activities in London.
The walk passes several royal residences and connects places where Diana lived and worked during her life. Visitors experience the spatial relationship between these locations and the city's royal and public spaces as they move through the parks.
You can start walking from any point along the path since the figure-eight layout offers multiple entry points. Free maps are available from the Royal Parks office to help you navigate the entire route.
Each of the ninety plaques features a heraldic rose symbol that visually connects the four parks and reinforces the memorial concept. The plaques were carefully positioned to highlight places connected to Diana's life and activities.
