I don’t like to talk ill of a place where the dead are buried but in this occasion I must. This is no place for quiet contemplation as the council or the friends of the cemetery would have you think! It is full of bozos! People playing games and having massive gatherings, it is right by a major overpass which is very noisy, is in a flight path and it’s condition is poor! Normally an overgrown cemetery is a thing of beauty, but here it feels cheap and dirty! People hiding in the bushes and other shady characters. Just look at the image of the sign someone attempted to put up!! If you can’t put a sign straight with cable ties then what can you do! The place feels poor, neglected, broken and sullen! I feel woe and despair being in here and my mood utterly crestfallen! One or two graves are very pretty in the way nature has claimed them but that’s it. The extremely oppressive architecture that surrounds the outside of the place fills it with a strong sense of doom. H&F council being as incompetent as they are have just slapped that title on the place for some reason. I am sure in its prime it was gorgeous and not filled with louts but today it is nothing more than a common unkept green space. The absolute Shame! If it were to be just a green space then that would be fine for people playing games etc, but as it is classed as a cemetery then it seems very uncouth to have such big events though the grounds.

This is a beautiful place to walk through. A place of calm seremity just off the busy hub that is Hammersmith. This picturesque location includes a chapel and two war memorials and is well maintained. Do check out the photos for a better view of what you can expect.
Used to live close by and never noticed this before. So Hammersmith Cemetery, also known as Margravine Cemetery is former cemetery, that's been restored by the council and designated a 'Garden of Rest'. Kind of like a public green space where many of the original gravestones and burial grounds remain. The grounds are generally well kept and has plenty of paved paths and some benches. Nothing for the average tourist to see.
Atractive place! Dont forget nuts, friendly squerls are there, you can feed them from hand
This is excellent for on-lead dog walking and is home to foxes, squirrels and a variety of small birds including green parakeets.
