Known locally as Bow cemetery (although officially it is London Tower Hamlet Cemetery) opened in 1841 is one of the most important Victorian working class cemeteries. Prior to this period graveyards were small and generally attached to a church. This is one of the seven large cemeteries created during the Victorian era. Important as it is steeped in east end history. From large unmarked communal graves to those of numerous disasters such as the Bethnal Green tube disaster in 1943 were people were crushed sheltering from the blitz.It became a nature reserve in 2001. While wandering through here I found mushrooms saw a red fox run by and generally found it a wonderful place to explore.
