LONDON: EXPLORING amazing GREEK CEMETERY, WEST NORWOOD (1 of 7 MAGNIFICENT CEMETERIES)
SUBSCRIBE: - The word “necropolis” is incredibly evocative – it is somehow a far more atmospheric term for a burial ground than “graveyard” or “cemetery.” The word derives from the Ancient Greek term nekropolis (νεκρόπολις), which translates as “city of the dead.” Rather fittingly, given the origins of the term necropolis, today we are visiting the Greek Necropolis, a small but dramatic section of West Norwood Cemetery in south London – a Greek Orthodox cemetery that contains the highest concentration of listed funerary monuments anywhere in Britain.
London is a leading global city in the arts, commerce, education, entertainment, fashion, finance, healthcare, media, professional services, research and development, tourism, and transport. It is one of the world's leading financial centres and has the fifth-or sixth-largest metropolitan area GDP in the world. London is a world cultural capital. It is the world's most-visited city as measured by international arrivals and has the world's largest city airport system measured by passenger traffic.

Kensal Green Cemetery, London
By the beginning of the 19th century, the business of burying the dead in London had become intolerable. The crypts under most churches together with their churchyards and other burial sites, were full to bursting, and the situation had also become a health hazard.
In 1825, George Frederick Carden had the idea for the establishment of public cemeteries away from the centre of London, and later petitioned the government for the establishment of these. He established the General Cemetery Company in 1830, and the first of what was to become the 'Magnificent Seven' cemeteries, was opened in 1832 at Kensal Green. The General Cemetery Company still owns and manages this cemetery, which covers 72 acres.
Many famous names are buried here, and in 1939, a crematorium was opened, again with many well known names making their last journey to here.

Quirky London - A Visit To Brompton Cemetery, West London
A Saturday afternoon’s trip to Brompton Cemetery one of London’s Magnificent Seven garden cemeteries opened in the 1800’s. Only a short tube ride from central London and next door to Chelsea’s football ground Stamford Bridge.
The graves of a number of well-known people lie in the cemetery including suffragette Emmeline Pankhurst, the actor Brian Glover, Cunard from the famous shipping line and English cricketer, John Wisden.
Apparently, the names on the graves inspired Beatrix Potter, who lived locally with names for some of her characters.
The cemetery is Grade I listed on Historic England’s Register and is the only cemetery in the country owned by the Crown and managed by The Royal Parks.
The nearest tube stations to Brompton Cemetery are West Brompton, Earls Court and Fulham Broadway.
