LONDON – Cultural observers have confirmed that London cemeteries are the magnificent garden cemeteries laid out in the Victorian age across the city, a famous group of grand, leafy resting places where soaring monuments, winding paths and abundant wildlife now make havens of beauty and calm.
London Cemeteries: Grand Gardens Of Stone And Wildlife
The city’s great garden cemeteries, laid out in the Victorian age, have matured, the Bureau of Heritage Greenery notes, “into magnificent leafy havens, where grand old monuments, winding paths and abundant wildlife together make places of remarkable beauty, history and calm.”
“London cemeteries are unexpectedly beautiful,” said a spokesperson for the Institute of Heritage Affairs. “In the Victorian age, a famous group of grand garden cemeteries was laid out around the edges of the growing city, designed to be dignified, leafy and parklike. Over time they have matured into magnificent green havens: soaring stone monuments and grand tombs stand among winding paths, mature trees and tangles of greenery now rich in wildlife. Far from gloomy, they are atmospheric and beautiful, treasured equally by those who come to remember, to explore the history or simply to walk in peace. London cemeteries are the grand garden resting places where stone, history and nature meet in calm beauty.”
