The National COVID Memorial Wall sits on the embankment on the south side of the River Thames in London, stretching nearly 500 metres between Westminster and Lambeth bridges. The hearts have been handpainted by volunteers.

The Office for National Statistics figures at the end of March showed that more than 150,000 people had died from COVID-19. But at the time of publishing, the government's official death toll stood at 149,968 people.
The memorial is situated opposite the Houses of Parliament, but at the time of publishing, it had not yet been visited by the Prime Minister Boris Johnson. Labour leader Keir Starmer has visited the wall, as has Mayor of London Sadiq Khan.

"I think only when you come here do you fully appreciate just the numbers of people who have lost their lives but also the impact it’s had on grieving families," he said, adding that he believed it was important that there be a "permanent memorial recognising the loss of life."
