Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park

Lovely park cemetery, one of the magnificent seven. If anyone is interested in nature and/or Victorian burial linked to local ppl then they should definitely visit.

A very nice place to hide out,walk,breath and check out the beautiful energy here.Lots of wildness,birds and big healthy tree's and bushes.I felt so relaxed just walking through and sitting on my own.A great place to stop off.

A beautiful unique and vital nature reserve and heritage site in East London. The Park offers everyone a breathing space in East London. This woodland is people’s cemetery, a place for remembrance, for volunteering, field studies or just walk your dog and enjoy the greenery

Best proof that people can still protect and preserve nature. A great walk inside the park will give you relaxing moments.
Volunteers do an amazing job at keeping this park clean.
You can enjoy a coffee or a sweet by visiting Blue Daisy at the main entrance.
It's a pet friendly area as well.
You can find many spots for picnics or sunbathe

How I like to linger in the dark ominous recesses of old cemeteries where only occasional wildlife may venture and weather ravaged toppled headstones speak of long departed souls. With foot worn paths to roam between ancient earth sagging graves framed by overhanging branches through which whispering breezes may kiss ones brow like the trace of a passing ghost. This is such a place, unnervingly surreal, mysteriously beautiful and oozing an atmosphere of sublime stillness and peace.

My favourite place in London to go, a real gem in the middle of busy east London. Summary: dog friendly, family friendly, no toilets.

A quiet place about 5 minutes from Mile End or Bow Road. Very dog friendly, family friendly, with main gravel paths circling the park but smaller dirt paths to explore in between. Plenty of open spaces amongst the trees, and lots of surprises on the way; wooden seating areas tucked amongst the trees, tree stumps, wooden ‘huts’, wildlife galore, cute dogs. Oh, and plenty of gravestones!

The gravestones line the paths but it doesn’t feel eerie; strangely peaceful, and a great place for a summer amble or a winter dog walk. Absolutely brilliant for connecting with dog owners. Plenty of dog poo bins and benches and I’ve never not found somewhere to sit. Very little litter too. Events held here often; The summer festival is fab and there are frequent local history tours. The Friends of Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park do a phenomenal job looking after the park and showcasing wildlife and nature trails, and putting on activities on a regular basis.

Do note in case you are caught short: no public toilets.

My secret garden. I often come for a walk since I found this place. You can see wild flowers everywhere, winding paths, full of scenery, birds makes musical sound...
peaceful, just love it.

Love this place! It has wild garlic. My second favourite cemetery after the one in Stoke Newington. Less busy also.
