Tips

Abney Park Chapel opened in May 1840 and was the first non-denominational cemetery chapel in Europe. When the cemetery owners went into administration in the 1970s, Abney fell into disrepair and was abandoned. The upshot of the abandonment was that a wonderfully-wild and macabre atmosphere developed. Thanks to a joint project from Hackney Council and Historic England, the chapel has now been restored to its former glory and is open to visitors once again. The chapel is Grade II-listed.

A mysterious and magical place - full of 300,00 grave dating back to 1840. Stay a while and explore if you can.
