Brompton Cemetery Chapel is very accessible and well worth visiting
Brompton Cemetery opened in 1840. It is one of the Magnificent Seven, the name given to the large, private cemeteries that opened in London in the nineteenth century. It remains a working cemetery. There are many interesting and famous people buried in Brompton. It's an attractive, peaceful, open space, with trees, meadow, flora and fauna, with an abundance of wildlife and is now looked after by the Royal Park, who also manage Hyde Park, St James's Park, etc.
This review is specifically for the Chapel which is located in the centre of Brompton Cemetery. I visited to attend an event which was part of London Month of the Dead, an annual festival which takes place each October. For the entire month there are a variety of events from talks, walks, story-telling, workshops, concerts, theatre all with an informative and entertaining theme about death.
It's been a few years since I had last visited the chapel and I was very impressed with the renovations they have made to the building which now makes the entire building step free. It's a beautiful space and well worth visiting if you get the chance.
