Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park and Ackroyd Drive Greenlink is London’s most central woodland, one of two local nature reserves in Tower Hamlets and a Metropolitan Site of Importance for Nature and Conservation. 

But before that, it was one of the Magnificent Seven Victorian-era private cemeteries, established in 1841 alongside peers like Highgate and Brompton. Its East End roots has always set it apart – its more crowded, more working class and, certainly in our view, more interesting.

Since 1990 the Friends of Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park have been working to preserve, protect and promote the Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park. From the park’s roots in protests, through to recognition as an exceptional space for nature and heritage, to evolving to new challenges, the Friends have cared for the space and welcomed thousands of visitors each year.
