Greenwich Cemetery was founded 1856 by Greenwich Burial Board on a hilly site, with an entrance in Well Hall Road. At the top of the hill are the Commonwealth War Graves and the Heroes Corner and War Memorial. The panoramic views are the finest from any cemetery in London and are some of the best anywhere in London. This is at the top of the hill. The Crystal Palace Ridge is on the skyline towards the right, with the two television masts, and the blocks in the distance in the centre are at Croydon.
