Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park

Discover one of London's most remarkable green spaces, where Victorian history, wildlife and woodland walks combine to create a peaceful escape from the city.

Originally opened in 1841 as one of London's historic Magnificent Seven cemeteries, Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park has evolved into a thriving Local Nature Reserve and one of the borough's most important wildlife habitats.

Today, visitors can wander through atmospheric woodland paths, discover historic gravestones and monuments, and enjoy a landscape rich in biodiversity. The park is home to hundreds of species of plants, birds, insects and fungi, making it a popular destination for nature lovers, photographers and those seeking a quieter corner of East London.

Whether you are interested in local history, wildlife, walking or simply finding a peaceful place to relax, Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park provides one of the most distinctive visitor experiences in the borough.
