Info
Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park is a historic cemetery and Commonweath of Nations war memorial in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets in London's East End. The historic parish boundary which defines the Mile End and Bromley-by-Bow areas runs north to south through the park, with Mile End to the west and Bromley-by-Bow to the east.
The cemetery opened in 1841 and closed for burials in 1966. It is regarded as one of the seven great cemeteries of the time (now known as the "Magnificent Seven"). It was originally named The City of London and Tower Hamlets Cemetery but was called Bow Cemetery by locals.
It is now a nature reserve, and other land has been added to the park, including "Scrapyard Meadow".
