Designed by William Haywood, the accomplished City Surveyor, the Cemetery was opened in 1856.
 
At 200 acres The City of London Cemetery is one of the largest Victorian Cemeteries in the country and contains at present eight buildings listed Grade II, and the grounds themselves are Grade II* registered as a Park and Garden of Historic Special Interest in recognition of it's unique quality and size.
 
With everything from Peak Capped Gate-men, Florist, Cafe and Koi Pond the City of London Cemetery is kept to an extremely high standard, litter and vandalism just do not exist. In fact it's difficult to Imagine how this vast cemetery could be 150 years old.
 
The City of London Cemetery is also the last resting place of two victims of Jack the Ripper. In recent years the graves of Catherine Eddowes and Mary Ann Nichols have been mark with metal memorial plaques (see gallery).
 
Access by public transport is easiest via Manor Park Railway Station on the Liverpool Street Line, which is a 5-10 minutes walk from the Cemetery
