Perhaps the least known, but most attractive, of the great Victorian Cemeteries of London established in a ring around the outskirts of London. Open to the public daily, Nunhead Cemetery’s 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 screening will take place adjacent to the Anglican Chapel (built 1840, designed by Thomas Little & JJ Bunning).
