Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park

Tower Hamlets | Ref 2608

Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park is truly the historic green heart of Tower Hamlets. 33 acres of broad leaf woodland, home to an important variety of wild plants, flowers and insects in a disused 19th century cemetery, surrounded by the urban scape of tower blocks and estates.

The largest woodland in east London and principally noted for its ecological value, the cemetery also contains a wealth of historic monuments including a number of listed tombs. An oasis of Victorian elegance, characterised by the romance of gentle decay, underpins this charming location.
