West Norwood Cemetery: A New Beginning

Welcome to the website for West Norwood Cemetery. One of the first private landscaped cemeteries in London, it is one of the 'Magnificent Seven' cemeteries of London, and is a site of major historical, architectural and ecological interest.

We have just recently completed a six year National Heritage Lottery Fund: 'A New Beginning' project to conserve the Cemetery’s magnificent landscape and built structures, as well as offer new experiences and facilities to increase community use. 

We look forward to sharing our spectacular cemetery with you.
