Queen Elizabeth II National Memorial, St James’s Park
9 July 2025
Eckersley O’Callaghan is honoured to be a part of the Foster + Partners competition winning team to design the national memorial to Queen Elizabeth II at the heart of St James’s Park.
The winning design concept celebrates Queen Elizabeth’s life through a time of great change, balancing tradition and modernity, public duty and private faith, the United Kingdom and a global Commonwealth. The design concept illustrates how she brought these dualities together: two gates, two gardens, joined by a bridge and unifying path. The winning team includes artist Yinka Shonibare and celebrated landscape designer, Michel Desvigne.
