Welcome to Abney Park

On 23rd January 1909, Latvian revolutionaries attempted to steal the payroll wages of factory workers in Tottenham. This resulted in a wild chase across the Hackney Marshes involving hundreds of people. Join Alan Gartrell to hear the story of this extraordinary event.

On the first Sunday of every month, join us to explore the newly restored Abney Park Chapel and learn about it’s history. At midday, Abney Park Trust are hosting a 30 minute long talk, giving an insight into the history of the Chapel, with the opportunity ask questions, to explore and to photograph the interior.

Occurring on the first Sunday of every month and led by Abney Park Trust, this tour focuses on Abney Park's uniqueness – from its diverse permanent residents to the striking funerary architecture, as well as its historic dual function as both burial ground and arboretum since it opened in 1840.
