Segment 18 May 2nd, 2023 National Covid Memorial Wall to New Scotland Yard Metropolitan Police, Victoria Embankment

18.1 National Covid Memorial Wall North Wing, Lambeth Palace Rd, London SE1 3FT, United Kingdom

The National Covid Memorial Wall in London is a public mural painted by volunteers to commemorate victims of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom. Started in March 2021 and stretching more than one-third mile (five hundred metres) along the South Bank of the River Thames, opposite the Palace of Westminster, the mural consists of approximately 220,000 red and pink hearts, one for each of the casualties of COVID-19 in the United Kingdom who died with COVID-19 on their death certificate. The intent was for each heart to be "individually hand-painted; utterly unique, just like the loved ones we’ve lost".
