There are two tree trails at the City of London Cemetery and
Crematorium - one around the cemetery (taking in 43 trees along the
way), and one around the memorial garden.
The free guide - available from our
online bookshop -
includes 
numerous pictures of the trees, a
map of each trail and lists of the trees with both their
common and latin names. Descriptions of the individual trees
include such details as the place of origin of the tree, when
it flowers and the approximate height to which it grows.
School groups are welcome by prior arrangement . Please no
dogs except guide dogs or hearing dogs.
As well as the trees, the cemetery has been planted with a wealth
of flowering shrubs and its rhododendrons offer a spectacular
display in late spring. For details of how to get here and
facilities for disabled visitors, please see our '
contacts' page.
