Abney Park Cemetery

Abney Park in Stoke Newington is a woodland memorial park and Local Nature Reserve that is run by the London Borough of Hackney. It is one of the "Magnificent Seven" garden cemetery in London. After making your way through the decaying gravestones and overgrown trees of Abney Park Cemetery, you will ultimately come to a central clearing that is dominated by the ominous shell of a long-gone chapel. The beautiful gothic revival structure was constructed in 1840, but it was destroyed by fire and shut down in the 1970s. Naturally, this only serves to heighten its attraction, and as you emerge from the trees and enter its shade, you half-expect to hear ominous organ notes and a clap of thunder. One of the hidden green spaces in London - Abney Park - well worth visiting and enjoying the beauty.

All year long, Abney park is open to the public for free, allowing anybody to visit and take advantage of this tranquil haven of nature and history. Take a guided tour, learn how to chisel a stone or carve a spoon, find out why dead trees are cities for wildlife, attend one of the special events to feel the charm of Abney, or get involved by volunteering. In London's N16 neighborhood, the park is close to Stoke Newington High Street. Its 12.53 hectares (31.0 acres) are made up of a nature reserve, a classroom, a visitor center, and an abandoned central chapel. On weekdays and weekends, the park is typically open for free public use from roughly 9.30 am until 5 pm.
