| Tower Hamlets Cemetery this morning - 2nd October 2011 |
The Friends of Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park have the day-to-day care and management of London's most urban woodland - which is right on our door step (the main gate is in Southern Grove).
- They manage the park within the context of themes relating to heritage, wildlife, people and education.
- They aim to secure the future of the park as a place for biodiversity, learning and remembrance.
