    "A lovely cemetery, if a little unkempt"

    "Thought this was a lovely cemetery however whoever they employ to maintain it clearly has no respect for the graves, they recently cut the grass and completely destroyed my nans grave, we have a gate around it with artificial flower garlands, all the heads were chopped off and the fairy lights broken and vases destroyed plus all loose grass everywhere Absolutely no respect"

What can you say about one of the magnificent seven cemeteries from the Victorian era. We are lucky it is within walking distance from where we live, so get down there quite often. The Victorian stone masons produced excellent quality carving and ornamentation. A lot of notable graves down there Isambard Kingdom Brunel, and his family. Decimus Burton who designed the Temperate House at Kew Gardens and much else. On Sundays there are tour guides who can show you around for a small fee. Especially lovely during Spring and Summer when the birds are out singing, all the nature that inhabits the place. Please be respectful and take your litter away, this is a special place to visit especially if you want some quiet time, very tranquil there

Nice enough cemetary - highlights are the graves of Brunel, Charles Babbage and Prince George. Some areas were lovely with trees and shade but others were quite barren of green. A nice place to get lost but I found that there were quite a few cars driving in the cemetery. And, no toilets that I could find! I have now seen a response that there are toilets in the crematorium building -good to know as there is nothing indicated on the maps at the entrance to the cemetary, nor is there there signage in the cemetary itself.

Kensal Green cemetery gehört zu den Magnificent Seven (im 19. Jahrhundert angelegten Friedhöfen in London) der großzügig angelegte Friedhof mit weiteren Blicken hat einiges zu bieten. Hier findet man zum Beispiel das Grab von dem Theater Dramatiker Herold Pinter. Der Friedhof ist relativ gut erhalten und lädt zum erholen und spazieren ein. Er ist am besten mit dem Bus Nummer 18 von der City aus zu erreichen.

A lovely cemetery, if a little unkempt. Depending on your mood or standards you may find that charming or unacceptable. Many historic figures rest here and there are lovely surprises for people of all nationalities. Beautiful trees. The Catholic side of it is more orderly and better taken care of. I hear burying your loved ones here can be quite dear. A really nice, quiet walk in all seasons.

Fairly nice. The only thing is theres too many kids, toddlers etc. Can't kick a football or have a sigarette everywhere. WC is only where the cafe iS and yiu have to walk there every time you nees a wee. And theres many ppl around it. As well as ppl with kids. But overall its a nice park.

  • John Walsh

One of London's Magnificent Seven Victorian cemeteries. It's still accepting burials so better maintained than Highgate or West Norwood. Mix of over the top monuments, to the great and good, to family graves for locals. Definitely worth a visit if it's your sort of thing.

Completely unprofessional! Wanted to pick up ashes, no one responded to the bell ringing. Finally a manager came outside, rude and unprofessional before vanishing in the back and laughing and giggling with her employees instead of bringing the ashes!

I'm a Freddie Mercury fan. That's why I want to get to this cemetery, to his grave, on my own two feet. Looking on Google, it is very beautiful, if you can say so, full of old graves. I've always been afraid of cemeteries, but this is so peaceful.

  • Valerie Dodds

Went therewhen I was a little girl,with my dear Daddy,I was born in Paddington, eventually moving to Yorkshire, then down to Cornwall, but seeing these memories brings it all back to me thankyou very much xxxx

  • Mr McScotty

Huge cemetery in leafy london suburb with some famous & very impressive graves & mausoleums, if you like this kind of thing definitely worth a visit for a stroll through the grounds.

  • colleen walsh

This is not Kensal green park. This St Mary's cemetery. Which is wonderful for a walk and check out all the tombstone's. Not good for kids though …

  • Peter Bailey

Thank you to all concerned for the work undertaken on the 'Month Garden'. The garden looks great and a credit to Kensal Green Cemetery.

  • Dirk Baldwin

The cemetery was quiet and tidy, not a lot going on, but easy to view the grave stones and mausoleum's of time's gone by.

  • Philip MacKenzie

Disappointed, the cemetery clearly isn’t being kept. There was garbage everywhere.
