This campaign is organised by local residents Brenda Simson, Sarah Taylor and Daniel Chen on behalf of the Friends of Margravine Cemetery, which is a registered charity comprised of local volunteers.
Our mission is to promote for the public benefit the conservation of the flora, fauna, monuments, buildings and burial records of the Margravine Hammersmith Cemetery London and the introduction of improvements to the cemetery and its management so long as they are compatible with the conservation of nature.
Margravine Cemetery was formerly the Hammersmith Cemetery and houses several historic buildings from Victorian times. As well as continuing as a cemetery, it is now a public space and has won many awards for the Friends’ work to preserve it as a green environment and as a habitat for wildlife. It is popular both as a walk through from Charing Cross Hospital to Barons Court Station and as a recreational space for the local community.
