  • Brompton Cemetery has recently been fully restored to its former glory. See the history of this distinctive London cemetery and the conservation project's amazing results.
    The Grade I listed Brompton Cemetery is the well-loved resting place of over 200,000 people, a haven for wildlife and a popular destination for locals and tourists alike.
    Nestled among the spectacular trees and undergrowth are over 35,000 gravestones and monuments. The cemetery is alive with the amazing stories of all the people buried there since the 1830s, including some well-known names like Emmeline Pankhurst and John Snow.
    It remains a working cemetery to this day, with a dedicated staff arranging burials and services in its magnificent chapel.
    Whether you want to learn about Brompton’s rich history, go for a stroll, grab a cup of coffee or just sit in quiet contemplation, Brompton Cemetery is the perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle of West London.
