The memorial will be very close to the Mall, the long avenue that leads to Buckingham Palace and where royal parades pass on major events. Also nearby are the headquarters of the Commonwealth, the alliance of former British dominions to which Elizabeth II was very attached.
The future memorial, which the government says is intended to be a monument to her person but also a “space for contemplation and communion,” will also be close to statues of King George VI and the Queen Mother, Elizabeth II’s parents.
The location was chosen by a committee set up last year, following a selection process involving officials from the royal family, the government, experts and the general public.
