The Cemeteries opened in 1858 and are still serving their communities as places of burial and quiet reflection. Mature trees and a sensitively managed understory make the cemeteries a haven for wildlife in South East London.
The cemetery is open every day and you are welcome to visit.
The FOBLC is a voluntary group which promotes the conservation and appreciation of the cemeteries as places of remembrance, historic importance & natural beauty. You are welcome to join us.
Explore the history of the cemeteries, notable burials and architecture and its wildlife. Listen to the podcasts about people buried in the cemeteries recorded by Mike Guilfoyle or find out about the projects funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund.
Here are three randomly selected posts about notable burials in the cemeteries. They will be different each time you come back to this page.
