This large cemetery on Fulham Palace Road is still used for burials, and consequently much of the site is formally managed, with close mown grass and neatly clipped hedges. It has an area dedicated to people who died in the Second World War, and seems to have an unusually high number of graves of children.

Description
Wildlife
The site contains a good number of mature trees, especially limes, birch and hawthorns, and together these support a fair variety of birds, such as greenfinch, goldfinch, blue tit, blackbird and jay, with warblers dropping by on migration. The grass contains a good variety of wildflowers, reflecting the cemetery's rural origins. Some of the more conspicuous species include hedgerow crane's-bill, common knapweed, lady's bedstraw, bird's foot trefoil and oxeye daisy, with cow parsley and ground ivy in shady spots.Facilities
