Who this task will support
The Friends of Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park
The Friends are an independent charity responsible for managing Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park, a unique and vital nature reserve and heritage site in East London. Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park offers everyone a breathing space in the heart of East London. This woodland cemetery is a unique place of transformation: a people’s cemetery, a place for remembrance, a sanctuary for humans as well as nature, a place for festivals, field studies and forest schools. Always changing with the seasons, it is rooted in the history of the East End, a place of rich heritage that is full of possibilities and freedom for all.

We last caught up with Park Manager Ken in January, where we tackled some tough brambles and ivy in the north west corner of the park, ready for a new footpath.

Tonight we return to the pretty park, to give Ken a hand with some more outdoor tasks.

Everything you need to know

  • We will be meeting at The Soanes Centre off Southern Grove at 7pm.

  • We'll be working throughout the park. Please allow 60-75 minutes for this task (likely to take a little longer after briefing and heading to the area).
