Four Royal Parks · London

Diana Memorial Walk

Iconic

The memorial walk links four Royal Parks and passes Buckingham Palace, Clarence House, Kensington Palace and the Serpentine. Follow the plaques in the ground; they're easy to miss when the paths are busy. It works as a long sightseeing walk or an easy run, and you can drop out at any Tube station on the way.
