City of London Cemetery and Crematorium
City of London Cemetery and Crematorium, Victorian cemetery and crematorium in Manor Park, England
The City of London Cemetery extends across 200 acres of landscaped grounds with formal gardens, tree-lined avenues, and memorial spaces in East London.
The cemetery opened in 1856 after William Haywood designed the grounds on land purchased from the 2nd Duke of Wellington in response to overcrowded churchyards.
The cemetery provides burial spaces for people of all religions and backgrounds, with sections dedicated to different faiths and cultural traditions.
The facility maintains two entrances on Aldersbrook Road, offering daily access to visitors, memorial services, and a range of burial and cremation options.
The cemetery contains reinterred remains from numerous London churches destroyed during the Great Fire of 1666 and World War II bombings.
