Take a walk in the past with a cemetery tour.

Seeing cemeteries as Museums of People, these tours seek to reveal forgotten lives and histories in an engaging and respectful way. Visiting cemeteries, finding out about those who lie beneath, and resurrecting social history is a passion of our tour guides.

Sacha and Sheldon will guide your group around one of these historic London cemeteries:

  • Tower Hamlets

  • Barnes

  • Brompton

  • Hampstead
