Streatham Park Cemetery opened as the Great Southern Cemetery in 1909. Up to the Second World War Streatham Park Cemetery accounted for one fifth of all burials in South London. It is a strange mixture with colourful gardens of remembrance near the entrance in Rowan Road, large mausolea just inside the entrance and a 'street' of even larger mausolea, many to Italians, beyond the war memorial. This is one example of the latter. The 'street' has a sign at its entrance saying "The Mausoleum" and "Glade Gardens".

The cemetery is reasonably attractive on a sunny day but when visiting on a gloomy day, I found the marble mausolea overpowering and extremely depressing.

When I was there, gardeners were busy in the gardens of remembrance and these look neat and tidy. However Darren Beach in 'London's Cemeteries' describes them thus: " The memorial gardens look pretty, but resemble a cross between the Blue Peter Garden and a suburban attempt at a TV-style garden makeover." Much of the rest of the cemetery is quite wild. Here is the war memorial, next to one of the gardens.
