  Abney Park cemetery is one of the Magnificent Seven cemeteries in London, England. Abney Park in Stoke Newington, in the London Borough of Hackney, is a historic parkland originally laid out in the early 18th century by Lady Mary Abney and Dr. Isaac Watts, and the neighbouring Hartopp family. In 1840 it became a non-denominational garden cemetery, a semi-public park arboretum, and an educational institute, which was widely celebrated as an example of its time. A total of 196,843 burials had taken place there up to the year 2000. It is a Local Nature Reserve.

  Stunning cemetery being reclaimed by nature. Wander and read about those, past.

  A wonderful place to spend a sunny morning, a genuine oasis in London. Some incredible wildlife and great characters in the park. Open early and well looked after by the volunteers of the trust. Don't forget to drop off a small donation for the upkeep of the park, it's worth it!

  Pasear por sus senderos en un radiante día de primavera fue una experiencia muy gratificante. La calma que se respira entre la frondosidad de la vegetación y las tumbas casi olvidadas te sustraen a otro tiempo y otro lugar fuera del bullicio de la ciudad. Es un magnífico lugar para dar un tranquilo paseo y desconectar del ajetreo diario.
