Friends of Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park

The Friends of Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park (FoTHCP) is an award-winning local charity working to protect, preserve and care for the Cemetery Park since 1990. At the heart of our work is the 31-acre site (now London’s most central urban woodland) which has been designated a Local Nature Reserve and a Site of Metropolitan Importance for Nature Conservation. Since 2001, we have championed its care as Tower Hamlets’ first nature reserve, balancing rich biodiversity, deep heritage and active community involvement. We are located within one of the most culturally diverse, densely-populated and green-space deprived boroughs in the country. Our mission is to preserve and promote this unique space for enjoyment, remembrance, and learning. We do this through practical conservation, heritage preservation, education and volunteering. Each year, we offer hundreds of opportunities for people of all ages to connect with nature and each other. We believe in the power of community to shape our space
