About this cemetery
West Norwood Cemetery opened in 1837 as one of the first large commercial, inter-denominational cemeteries in London, designed by William Tite, and is one of the 'Magnificent Seven' Victorian cemeteries. Its grounds mix historic monumental areas with modern lawn burial, and it also has catacombs. A crematorium was built on the site in 1915 by the South Metropolitan Cemetery Company and is now managed by Lambeth Council.
