The Princess Diana Memorial in Hyde Park was opened by Her Majesty the Queen on July 6, 2004.

According to the website, the fountain was built to reflect the life of Princess Diana, with water flowing in two directions from the highest point, cascading, swirling and foaming to meet a stationary pool at the bottom.

The water is constantly renewed and drawn from the London water table.

This monument embodies the decency and frankness of Diana. There are three bridges that allow you to cross the water and enter the center of the fountain.
