Children’s playgrounds do not get much better then Diana’s Memorial Playground where a huge wooden Peter Pan-inspired pirate ship takes centrepiece! This magical wonderland also features a surrounding beach, sensory trail and teepees, as well as plenty of seating for parents. In memory of the late Princess Diana and located next to her Kensington Palace home, the playground is a fitting tribute for a Princess who loved children.

Families are encouraged to explore art materials and creative techniques in projects they can work on by themselves or together, to build a shared interest in art.
