Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park

Relaxing oasis of peace. Amazing to see the graves in this wild/managed park.

A calm (if not eerie) place with forgotten but still beautiful headstones, where nature's bloom compensates for all the death and makes it strangely peaceful.

One of the “magnificent seven” but lacking some magnificence now. Still worth the visit and a good long walk around!

Stunning!A scheduled spot behind some estates that’s filled with life ( even tho it’s a cemetery ). Plant life is great, birds and other critters.Some very interesting graves and the condition of them is interesting too.The people who look after it are lovely too and they are very passionate about it. You can also volunteer.Great fresh air Amongst the dense trees and not too many people getting drunk/doing drugs

Best proof that people can still protect and preserve nature. A great walk inside the park will give you relaxing moments.Volunteers do an amazing job at keeping this park clean.You can enjoy a coffee or a sweet by visiting Blue Daisy at the main entrance.It's a pet friendly area as well.You can find many spots for picnics or sunbathe

Lovely, peaceful, and outstanding beauty. Really worth it to visit and walk along its charming paths. It's so nice that a volunteer team is looking after it and trying to improve and care for each corner or this magic place.

My secret garden. I often come for a walk since I found this place. You can see wild flowers everywhere, winding paths, full of scenery, birds makes musical sound...peaceful, just love it.

Great park set in what was originally Bow cemetery operating 1841 to 1960s when it was converted into park. Graves are still in place throughout the park with gravel paths around the perimeter and some though the park. Plenty of trees with the graves mixed in, I guess much of the damage comes from WW2 bombing and was one of the reasons the cemetery was closed. Park is best reached from Bow Church or Bow Road stations and short 5 minute walk from there. I was really surprised to find this park, although I live only 4 miles away I was not aware of its existence but is another great piece of London history.

A very nice place to hide out,walk,breath and check out the beautiful energy here.Lots of wildness,birds and big healthy tree's and bushes.I felt so relaxed just walking through and sitting on my own.A great place to stop off.

My favourite place in London to go, a real gem in the middle of busy east London. Summary: dog friendly, family friendly, no toilets.A quiet place about 5 minutes from Mile End or Bow Road. Very dog friendly, family friendly, with main gravel paths circling the park but smaller dirt paths to explore in between. Plenty of open spaces amongst the trees, and lots of surprises on the way; wooden seating areas tucked amongst the trees, tree stumps, wooden ‘huts’, wildlife galore, cute dogs. Oh, and plenty of gravestones!The gravestones line the paths but it doesn’t feel eerie; strangely peaceful, and a great place for a summer amble or a winter dog walk. Absolutely brilliant for connecting with dog owners. Plenty of dog poo bins and benches and I’ve never not found somewhere to sit. Very little litter too. Events held here often; The summer festival is fab and there are frequent local history tours. The Friends of Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park do a phenomenal job looking after the park and showcasing wildlife and nature trails, and putting on activities on a regular basis.Do note in case you are caught short: no public toilets.
