About this Event
The Friends of West Norwood Cemetery is a charity dedicated to the care and preservation of this extraordinary cemetery.
West Norwood Cemetery
Join folklorist and Lambeth Tour Guide Em Fleming for a stroll around West Norwood Cemetery – one of London's ‘Magnificent Seven.’ You’ll learn about the language of gravestones and hear tales of M**der, mayhem and mistaken identities whilst taking in the quiet beauty of this Grade II listed space. Whether you’re into true crime, a social history buff or you just fancy pulling on your walking boots you’ll uncover stories you never knew lay right beneath your feet!

We will meet at the arched (main) entrance for a prompt start. If you have any mobility concerns, please get in touch with me and I can advise. Unfortunately, dogs (even on leads) are not allowed in the cemetery.
West Norwood Cemetery (SE27 9JU) is located next to St Luke's Church and West Norwood Library. Buses: 2, 68, 196, 315, 322, 432 and 468 (several of these routes go via Brixton Tube Station: 2, 196, 322, 432) or West Norwood Station (trains to and from London Bridge/Victoria). Limited off-street parking is available.
This tour is being offered on behalf of The Friends of West Norwood Cemetery. Your donation will help us to continue to preserve this very special space. Please note that due to a quirk of the system each ticket has to be booked separately - something to bear in mind if you are coming as a couple or a member of a group.
