About St George’s Fields, Bayswater
St George’s Fields is the former burial ground of St George’s, Hanover Square, between Connaught Street and Bayswater Road. It was redeveloped as a private housing estate, but parts of its distinctive double walls, reputedly built to deter body-snatchers, survive along with a number of tombstones within the estate grounds.
Access: Now part of a private residential estate, not a public cemetery or council-managed ground. Access to the surviving tombstones and walls is through the estate itself, so any memorial work needs to be arranged with residents or the managing body first.
