Kensal Green Cemetery Friends

Explore Kensal Green Cemetery, London’s first garden cemetery opened in 1833. Now a heritage site of international significance, it is the final resting place of hundreds of the ‘great and good’ of the last 200 years. Buried here are royalty, mathematicians, engineers, novelists, performers and many ‘ordinary’ people who led extraordinary lives.

Download the Kensal Green Cemetery Friends app to explore the fascinating history of the cemetery and its ‘residents’. The app features interactive self-guided tours of the cemetery on a variety of themes, with new content added periodically throughout the year. It also highlights the work of the Friends of Kensal Green Cemetery and how to get involved in conserving this important site.

A perfect companion for anyone wanting to make the most of their visit to Kensal Green Cemetery.

The app is GPS-enabled. This feature is used to show you relevant content based on your location. Note that you do not need to be in the cemetery to access the app content.

The app also optionally uses Location Services to determine your location when the app is running in the background. It will trigger notifications when you are close to a location of interest. However, as with all apps that use location, please note that continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
