People of Lambeth Cemetery: Guided Walk

A guided walk of this lesser known south London Victorian cemetery exploring fascinating stories of some incredible people. From artists and entertainers to campaigners, criminals and people who settled in London from around the world, join Lambeth historian Tracey Gregory to explore the stories of some of the fascinating people laid to rest in Lambeth Cemetery, and find out why Lambeth Cemetery is in Tooting.

Tracey runs the Loughborough Road Histories project. Her fascination with Lambeth Cemetery began through her research into orchid artist Nelly Roberts, who lived her whole life on Loughborough Road. Four years ago Tracey helped to champion Nelly’s legacy, unveiling a plaque on her previously unmarked grave in the cemetery. Nelly will be just one of the people whose story will be told.
