History

The Friends of Streatham Cemetery work with and are supported by:
- Lambeth and Wandsworth Councils
- Transition Town Tooting
- The National Federation of Cemetery Friends
- Summerstown 182
- South London Botanical Institute
- Forever Fishponds
- Tooting Bec and Broadway

A Bit About Us
Streatham Cemetery is actually in Tooting! A beautiful open area a few steps from Tooting Broadway – a breathing space in the city with abundant wildlife and a rich local history.
The Friends are made up of families of those buried there, neighbours of the Cemetery and those interested in how our community can flourish through contact with nature in this tranquil 40-acre space.
The Friends are working to improve the condition of the Cemetery as a burial ground, develop it as a place of quiet recreation for the local population and a haven for birds, bees and small mammals.
We hold a range of activities in the cemetery: Open Days, Beekeeping, Butterfly Walks, Plant Walks, Bat Walks, Local History Talks, Tomb Trails and Drawing and Painting.
Well-managed open spaces can bring communities together. The Friends seek to support community life, actively seeking out and listening to the views of all users of the Cemetery. We seek to improve consultation, planning and participation in the area of the Cemetery.
