Diana Memorial Playground
An outdoor playground in City of Westminster
A magical, Peter Pan-themed playground in Kensington Gardens, London. Spread across a large area, it features a huge pirate ship, a sensory trail, teepees, a beach area with sand and water play, and musical instruments. The playground is designed to inspire imaginative play for children of all abilities.
Facilities include a separate toddler area, accessible toilets, and benches for adults. Nearby Kensington Gardens offers pedal boats, the Serpentine Gallery, and the Round Pond. The playground is fully fenced with a single entrance, and staff manage capacity.
Practical tips: Entry is free, but during peak times you may face a queue (typically 15-30 minutes). Pushchairs must be left at the entrance (not all, but you cannot take them inside the play area). There are no cafes inside, but the nearby Pavilion Café and the Serpentine Bar & Kitchen offer refreshments. Toilets are available within the playground.
