THE EXPERIENCE

What can I expect from the Princess Diana Exhibition?

Princess Diana: Accredited Access is a licenced, walk-through photography exhibition in London that tells the untold story of how Princess Diana changed the world – through the lens of her official royal photographers, Anwar Hussein and his two sons Samir and Zak. See images and bespoke installations of the Princess of Wales’ public and private life from Anwar’s perspective and learn about the stories behind the photos with an exclusive audio guide.

Where is the experience located?

The exhibition takes place at Dockside Vaults, Ivory House, London E1W 1AT - a five-minute walk from the famous Tower Bridge and the Tower of London. The nearest tube station is Tower Hill which is served by the District and Circles lines, plus the DLR.

Dockside Vaults is a Grade 2 listed building in the heart of central London’s largest marina, St Katharine Docks. A pocket of innovation and tranquillity, hemmed by the buzz of the city, the venue relishes rich history with the Tower of London and Tower Bridge within eyesight.    

Historically used as a storage hub for imports such as tea from India and wool from Australia, the Dockside Vault's raw brickwork and striking archway architecture, lends itself to the monarchical yet intimate feel of the exhibition. 

Does the experience take place in an indoor or outdoor venue?
