The Tranquil Elegance of Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fountain

Getting There

• Car

  If you're driving, take the A23 towards Brighton. Follow the signs for A272 and then continue on the A23 to London. Once you reach London, follow signs for the A40, then take the A4202 to reach Hyde Park. Look for parking options near the park, but note that parking in central London can be expensive. The nearest parking to the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fountain is at the car park on the South Carriage Drive. Be sure to check for parking fees, which can vary.

• Public Transportation - Train

  If you prefer public transport, take a train from any major station in Sussex (such as Brighton or Eastbourne) to London Victoria Station. From Victoria, you can take the London Underground (Tube) on the District or Circle Line towards Edgware Road and get off at the Lancaster Gate station. From there, it’s a short walk to the memorial fountain located in Hyde Park. Remember to check for the train schedule, and a return ticket may cost around £15-£30 depending on your departure station.

• Public Transportation - Bus

  Alternatively, use the bus service. From your location in Sussex, take a bus to Brighton and then catch a National Express coach to Victoria Coach Station in London. From there, you can walk to the memorial fountain or take the Tube as described earlier. Bus tickets can range from £10-£20, so check for the best option.

• Walking

  Once you arrive at Hyde Park, walk towards the West Carriage Drive. The fountain is located within the park, so you may need to pay an entry fee for additional attractions, although the memorial fountain itself is free to visit. Make sure to wear comfortable shoes, as you may have to walk a bit to get there from the nearest transport link.
