The Diana Memorial Playground in Kensington Gardens, next to Kensington Palace, the former home of Diana Princess of Wales, is a fabulous children's playground for kids up to 12 years. There's loads for kids to do in the Diana Memorial Playground including playing on the enormous wooden pirate ship. 

The Diana Memorial Playground design has been inspired by the stories of Peter Pan.

The centerpiece of this large central London playground is the huge wooden pirate ship which the children can climb all over. There's sand surrounding the ship so big kids like to 'jump ship' and smaller kids like to 'drive'.

None too surprising this, it's extremely popular with families, both Londoners and visitors. Over 750,000 children enjoy this free playground each year so expect it to be busy on sunny days.

There is a sensory trail, teepees, a play tunnel, a sand beach around the pirate ship and various toys and play sculptures hidden among the plants and bushes. There are slides, a large swing, a climbing frame area, a music area and story-telling space. It's not overlooked as there are plenty of trees and plants surrounding the playground.
