5th Oct is cancelled due to the yellow wind warning and the closure of Abney Park until safety checks are carried out.

Occurring on the first Sunday of every month and hosted 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.

The "middle child" of London's Magnificent Seven cemeteries, Abney Park has traditionally been the final resting place of choice for rebellious, radical and dissenting Londoners. Our general history tour quietly celebrates that spirit in this wonderful community-focused green space.

Meeting point:
Please meet inside Abney Park entrance on Stoke Newington High Street, 5 - 10 minutes before the start time.
The tour is estimated to last approximately 90 minutes.
Please check your emails on the morning of this tour - we may need to cancel if the weather is unfavourable.

Access information:
There is level access at the Stoke Newington High Street entrance, the main paths are accessible, the smaller paths can be less even and narrow.
There will be an accessible route available for this walk.
Service dogs on leads are welcome.
