About: Jewish cemeteries in the London area

There are many Jewish cemeteries in the London area; some are included in the List of cemeteries in London. This list includes those cemeteries and also some just outside the Greater London boundary. Jews are also buried at other, not specifically Jewish, cemeteries. Between 1832 and 1841 the "Magnificent Seven" private cemeteries were opened, primarily to relieve Central London's Anglican churchyards. Later, some of them also encompassed burials for people from other faiths; many Jews of international renown are buried at Highgate Cemetery. Brookwood Cemetery in Surrey, opened in 1852, designated approximately half of the original cemetery to non-Anglicans, including Jews.
