Who’s Buried Where in London

Peter Matthews worked for many years for the London Tourist Board, during which time he studied to become a registered London Blue Badge Guide. He has also written London for Families, London's Bridges and London's Statues and Monuments for Shire.

Who's Buried Where in London is a fascinating guide to who's who in the capital’s many cemeteries, churches and graveyards. Not merely for family history fans who, as we all know, love wandering around cemeteries, it is jam-packed with information on more than 1,000 people laid to rest in London over the centuries, with juicy biographical gems of the kind you may catch yourself relaying to others, and a literal step-by-step guide to where to find their gravestones, memorials or final resting places.
