Activity location

Chingford Mount Cemetery, Chingford Mount Cemetery 121 Old Church Road Chingford London E4 6ST, E4 6ST

Site description

The cemetery, which covers 41.5 acres, opened in May 1884. br> br>It was originally owned by a private company but, after changes in ownership and many years of neglect, it was taken over by the London Borough of Waltham Forest in 1977. br> br>Much of the cemetery is laid out with traditional type full size memorials and public graves. Since 1981, only lawn type memorials have been permitted and the newer areas are laid out in lawn type cemetery design. br> br>The main drive is lined by large 'London Plane' trees with the rest of the cemetery supporting many different varieties of trees. This has made the cemetery attractive to wild life with an abundance of squirrels. br> br>Many people visit the cemetery, not only to visit family graves, but also to find peace and quiet away from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
