National Covid Memorial Wall, Covid memorial on Thames South Bank, United Kingdom
A 500-meter wall along the Thames displays thousands of red and pink hand-painted hearts representing British individuals who died from Covid-19.
The memorial started in March 2021 through Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice to commemorate 150,000 lives lost during the pandemic.
Visitors regularly add personal messages, photographs, and mementos to the wall, creating a growing collection of memories and tributes.
Located between Westminster and Lambeth bridges, facing Parliament, the memorial remains open for public visits throughout the year.
Volunteer painters continue adding hearts to the wall whenever new Covid-related deaths are recorded in the United Kingdom.
