Lauriston Road Cemetery, Jewish cemetery in Hackney, England.
The cemetery grounds contain numerous headstones and chest tombs distributed among semi-mature trees, creating a natural memorial environment within the urban setting.
Following its establishment in 1788 as Grove Street Cemetery, the burial ground served the local Jewish community until its closure to new burials in 1886.
The headstones throughout the cemetery display Jewish burial traditions and their integration into British society through architectural styles from the 18th and 19th centuries.
The cemetery requires advance appointments for visits and can be reached by taking the London Underground to Mile End station, followed by a local bus.
The cemetery's lodge, constructed in 1870, has transformed over time from its original purpose to accommodate various functions, including service as a doctor's office.
