'Railway Connections: On Track at West Norwood Cemetery'
Join folklorist and Lambeth Tour Guide Em Fleming for this transport themed walk around West Norwood Cemetery.
We’ll pay our respects to those resting here who were integral to the network Londoners rely on today, hear some dark tales from the early days of train travel and enjoy learning more about this amazing Victorian space.
A must for rail enthusiasts, lovers of London and grateful city commuters everywhere!
Please note: sturdy footwear is required. This tour will be delivered from the pathways, but if you want to get closer to some monuments be aware the ground can be uneven underfoot.

We will meet at the arched (main) entrance for a prompt start. If you have any mobility concerns, please get in touch with me and I can advise. Unfortunately, dogs (even on leads) are not allowed in the cemetery.
West Norwood Cemetery (SE27 9JU) is located next to St Luke's Church and West Norwood Library. Buses: 2, 68, 196, 315, 322, 432 and 468 (several of these routes go via Brixton Tube Station: 2, 196, 322, 432) or West Norwood Station (trains to and from London Bridge/Victoria). Limited off-street parking is available.
This tour is being offered on behalf of The Friends of West Norwood Cemetery. Your donation will help us to continue to preserve this very special space. Please note that due to a quirk of the system each ticket has to be booked separately - something to bear in mind if you are coming as a couple or a member of a group.
