IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Mayday Gardens, LONDON, SE3 8NW

A view towards the entrance on Well Hall Road, a 10 minute walk straight ahead. Langbrook Road lies a 5 minute walk away behind the photographer, although there is no access out into it. Mayday Gardens - a residential street - is situated behind the tree line on the left. This Victorian cemetery is one of the largest cemeteries in London being of approximately 9.5 hectares in size (or 24 acres) and, as this picture reveals, a considerable amount of spare capacity remains available. One of half-a-dozen weather-protection shelters is seen here although all but the one nearest the entrance to the cemetery is boarded up as an anti- misbehaviour strategy.

Greenwich Cemetery was founded in 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 view looks towards the towers of Canary Wharf.

The name "Brook Village" is misleading: it is actually just a gated housing development in the grounds of the former Brook Hospital. See also Image

Crosier Close leads from Broad Walk (road) into the private housing estate. This estate was built on the site of the Brook Fever Hospital (demolished in 1990's). It was built by Persminnion Homes as a Millennium project.
