Gunnersbury Cemetery london

Wonderfully kept Cemetery, really well maintained. They are very peaceful places to visit and you start to understand time in limited on this Earth so enjoy life while you can

Situated off the A406 North Circular, just north of Chiswick roundabout the cemetery can be a little difficult to find. It is a multi denominational and multi national cemetery. It is well organised, and kept in a very neat and tidy condition. There are a few graves that are falling over due to ground subsidence, but these are being repaired and the vast majority of graves are in excellent condition. Road and plane noise does intrude to some extent, but there is still a tranquil ambience. The chapel is located approximately in the centre and there is a car park and toilets inside the entrance on the left.

BEWARE! My mother disabled by grief at her husband's death already had a plot in this cemetery in which her mother in law was buried. We were advised that there was a stone mason on the premises able to provide the tomb stone. My mother was given the inflated price of £3,000 for a simple stone with few words. The money was paid to the stone mason as advised but after many phone calls and waiting the tomb stone was never installed. More phone calls and it was found that the stone mason had disappeared not only with my mother's money but several other people's money also. There was little apology for this by Gunnesbury who claimed they had no responsibility for the stone masons who worked for them. I have wondered about the legal veracity of this, and to this day my gather and grandmother still have no stone. Although a reasonably attractive place DO NOT RISK HIRING THEIR STONE MASON!

Despite being close to busy roads this is a lovely peaceful place. The opening hours are actually to dusk or 6pm if earlier.

Gunnersbury Cemetery is one of the best in the country. It is very beautiful and looked after and has great kind welcoming staff.

beautiful cemetery where one can see many great Polish soldiers and civilians resting there. They all just ask you to light up a candle and prey for them. RIP.

Lots of interesting history to discover, the Katyn memorial foremost. Sad to see the unloved state of Carol Reed, award winning director of the Third Man.

Had a picnic until someone said no picnics in here! He was rude!dont like it but good cemetery

Beautiful well kept cemetery especially in Spring. With the Katyn memorial it is a little piece of Poland in Exile. It has the grave of a Polish President of the exile government K. Sabbat and notables from the war-time Polish underground Home Army. Elsewhere is the grave of Carol Reed the famed film director, although as already stated a bit of a shame that it is a bit neglected.

Lovely cemetery kept tidy by gardening staff
