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. Just left centre can be seen the blocks around Vauxhall, while on the extreme right, the Gherkin is visible.
