Kensal Green Cemetery

Kensal Green Cemetery was the first of the great London cemeteries established to cope with the huge population explosion which London experienced at the height of the Industrial Revolution. It houses some spectacular pieces of Victorian Gothic mausoleum architecture and some illustrious residents, including Isambard Kingdom Brunel, Prince Augustus Frederick, Duke of Sussex (the sixth son of King George III) and his sister Princess Sophia. English Heritage helped to restore the Dissenters' Chapel in 1997.

There are plans to restore the Anglican Chapel and some of the monuments. Tours, arranged by the Friends of Kensal Green Cemetery, are given every Sunday at 2pm. These include a visit to the catacombs on the first and third Sunday of every month (under 12s not admitted to the catacombs).
