The City of London Cemetery and Crematorium is a stunning
Grade I listed landscape in the heart of East London, that has been
open since 1856. Our 200 acre site provides a picturesque, safe,
parkland atmosphere for thousands of visitors 365 days of the year,
and offers beautiful formal gardens, well maintained roadways, tree
lined avenues and local heritage.
We are one of the largest municipal cemeteries in Europe and
anyone may be buried here irrespective of City connections or
religious beliefs. We pride ourselves on delivering excellent
customer service and providing the community with a sympathetic and
professional facility.
Our site is rich with architecture, ecology, geology, horticulture
and history and we have the honour of being the first Cemetery to
be awarded the prestigious Green Flag Award, the national standard
for parks and green spaces in England and Wales. Amongst the famous
people buried here are Sir Robert Hooke, Bobby Moore and two of the
Jack the Ripper victims.
