Nunhead Cemetery, Victorian cemetery in Southwark, England
Nunhead Cemetery spans 52 acres of land with formal avenues of lime trees and paths winding through Victorian monuments and tombstones.
The London Cemetery Company established this burial ground in 1840 as part of the seven major cemeteries created around London's periphery.
The Scottish Martyrs Memorial, erected in 1851 by MP Joseph Hume, stands near the North Gate to commemorate Thomas Muir and other political figures.
The cemetery gates open daily from 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM during winter months, with extended hours throughout spring and summer seasons.
The grounds contain multiple sections of Commonwealth war graves and offer clear views toward St Paul's Cathedral across the London skyline.
