An historic burial site in West Norwood
This south London neighbourhood may be a hidden gem, but it has plenty to shout about, not least the views of the City of London skyscrapers.
It's dominated by the neoclassical St Luke's Church, which overlooks West Norwood Cemetery, one of London's 'magnificent seven'. Opened in 1837, the cemetery contains 69 listed monuments and burial plots. Notable graves to look for include Mrs Beeton, of Victorian cookery book fame, and sugar magnate Sir Henry Tate.
