From the practical realities of grave digging to the folklore that grew around those who buried the dead, this walk uncovers the subterranean landscape of Nunhead Cemetery. Discover the crypts, vaults and hidden spaces created beneath its monuments, examine the remarkable stones from which its memorials were carved, and explore how the earth itself has shaped London’s relationship with death for centuries.
