Description
Covering over 16.5 hectares of land, Brompton Cemetery is expansive in both size and history. Managed by The Royal Parks, this landmark cemetery was established in 1836 by the West London and Westminster Cemetery Company and then laid out in the classic, formal Victorian design in 1840. Over 200,000 tombs can be found here with over 35,000 monuments. Visit this cemetery for a tranquil walk through the shaded pathways, to see the central Basilica, or to search for the graves of London's more notable citizens. Wildlife including butterflies and foxes call this sweeping park home as well.
