Photo: [Pexels](https://www.pexels.com) ## Parking at Diana Memorial Playground Beach in Kensington Gardens Diana Memorial Playground Beach has no on-site parking listed for visitors. The nearest recommended facility is [Q-Park](https://www.parksy.com/blog/q-park-united-kingdom-review-pros-cons-summary-services) Queensway, where parking can be pre-booked online (q-park.co.uk). It provides a practical choice for drivers heading to the playground on The Broad Walk in Kensal Town, near Lancaster Gate. Car parking in Kensington Gardens is chargeable from 8:30am to 6:30pm (royalparks.org.uk). Blue Badge holders can park free of charge, subject to a 4-hour time limit (royalparks.org.uk). These Kensington Gardens rules apply to the park's parking arrangements rather than creating a dedicated beach car park. ## Nearby Car Parks Around the Playground and Kensington Gardens Q-Park Queensway is the named nearby car park recommended for the site (q-park.co.uk). Both options keep the journey focused on the Kensington Gardens side of west London rather than relying on parking at the playground entrance. [Free parking](https://www.parksy.com/parking-near-me) is available in Kensington Gardens for Blue Badge holders, although the four-hour limit applies (royalparks.org.uk). The Royal Parks information also confirms that car parking in Kensington Gardens is chargeable during its stated charging period (royalparks.org.uk). Drivers arriving without a Blue Badge should therefore plan around a paid facility such as Q-Park Queensway or the named Kensington Court location. Show map of Lancaster Gate ## When Parking Pressure Builds Near the Broad Walk The beach sits inside a popular Kensington Gardens attraction, and the playground's renewed feature is a 17-metre by 12-metre galleon moored on a sandy beach (royalparks.org.uk). The Royal Parks charging window for car parking runs from 8:30am to 6:30pm (royalparks.org.uk). Blue Badge parking remains free but is limited to 4 hours (royalparks.org.uk). The site is on The Broad Walk, so drivers should use marked parking arrangements rather than treating the playground frontage as an informal stopping place. ## Parksy Parking Spaces Close to Diana Memorial Playground Beach Parksy lists six nearby spaces around the W2 hotels and Hyde Park area.
