Burial History in Tower Hamlets
Tower Hamlets Cemetery, founded in 1841 as one of London's Magnificent Seven, was built to serve the densely crowded East End parishes of Stepney, Bow and Bethnal Green, eventually accommodating an estimated 270,000 burials across its 27 acres at Mile End. For over a century it recorded the lives of successive waves of immigrants and working-class Londoners before closing to new burials in 1966. Now maintained as Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park — a Local Nature Reserve and community woodland — it is one of only three Magnificent Seven sites whose historic character survives largely intact.
