Guided Walks of Willesden Jewish Cemetery


 

Come on a guided walk of London’s most surprising cemetery.

Our wonderful volunteer guides are delighted to be able to entertain and educate visitors on these guided walks. They will cover some of the fascinating residents of the cemetery, from scientist Rosalind Franklin and Tesco founder Jack Cohen, to the infamous Madame Rachel.

The first Jewish cemetery Registered as a Park and Garden of Special Historic Interest, Willesden is a remarkable survival, telling the stories of the first ethnic minority to settle in Britain in modern times.

Walks will start at the Heritage Centre and last roughly 75 minutes. We recommend you leave some time before or afterward to further explore the Heritage Centre and funerary buildings.

A limited amount of parking is available on site.

Wheelchairs can be provided upon request.

No dogs, with the exception of guide dogs.

Our guided walks help us keep doing what we do - sustaining the House of Life visitor experience and making the cemetery’s heritage and stories accessible to people from all backgrounds.
