Nunhead Reservoir and Cemetery

Nunhead also houses a man-made, covered, water reservoir that was built to serve south London. It is a marvel of modern engineering as it completely covered. Part of the roof is used by the Aquarius Golf Club. The reservoir also offers fantastic views of central London.

Another noticeable asset to Nunhead is the cemetery. Nunhead Cemetery is perhaps the least well known, but most attractive, of the great Victorian Cemeteries of London. Consecrated in 1840, it is one of the seven great Victorian cemeteries established in a ring around the outskirts of London. It contains examples of the magnificent monuments erected in memory of the most eminent citizens of the day, which contrast sharply with the small, simple headstones marking common, or public, burials. Its formal avenue of towering limes and the Gothic gloom of the original Victorian planting gives way to paths which recall the country lanes of a bygone era. The cemetery is also the host to a cultural event, the "Nunhead Cemetery Open Day". People are offered tours of the Cemetery and other activities for adults and youngsters, including bug hunting and looking at gravestones. Nunhead Cemetery is one of the Magnificent Seven cemeteries, located in the Borough of Southwark in London. ...
