The Magnificent Seven are seven beautiful landscaped cemeteries
built between 1832 and 1840 to respond to the overcrowded local parish
cemeteries and to move the associated health hazards further away from the city
centre. The cemeteries are not only burial grounds but also beautiful gardens,
some of them are classified as nature reserves.
This walk is the sixth in a series of seven magnificent walks, connecting the magnificent seven cemeteries. For an overview of the seven walks, highlights an tips, please visit the overview page.
This walk starts at Abney Park Cemetery and follows the new River Path and Regents Canal to Tower Hamlets Cemetery. There are many cosy cafes along Church Street in Stoke Newington and along Regent’s Canal. Toilet facilities can be found in Clissold Park and Victoria Park.
