The
City of London Cemetery & Crematorium is in the East End of
London, equidistant between Ilford and Manor Park Stations on the
Elizabeth line. It dates from 1856 and is very much a working
cemetery. It is Grade I listed, 200 acres in size and is said to
hold over 1 million burials. Wow!
I ventured in for some macabre nosy-parkering on a dank, damp, January day. I wandered up to the church and the chapel, slipped inside the columbarium, and saw both the modern and traditional crematoriums (the latter does have a foreboding look about it- but then I suppose a crematorium is not going to be the most pleasant place on earth!)
Come and take a walk in my shoes and we'll take a look at some of the well-known people interred here. Aside from the cemetery's engineer and designer, William Haywood- who is housed in a grand mausoleum- it is also home to football legend Bobby Moore; actress Dame Anna Neagle; two of Jack the Ripper's victims and the Elephant Man.
