Princess Diana's memorial fountain was pretty and very serene. Nothing fancy, just modest. I guess that's perfect for Princess Diana -- keeping it simple yet there's an elegance.

Not much to see here. Yeah the fountain is pretty and has a cool design. Unless you really enjoy leisurely walks in a pretty park, it's not worth walking miles in the Kensington Garden, searching for this memorial! It's by the W. Carriage Dr, by Long Water creek (Close to the Royal Albert Hall, Kensington Road, if you are looking at a map...) more
