The first Jewish cemetery registered as a Park and Garden of Special Historic Interest, Willesden is a remarkable survival, telling the stories of the first ethnic minority to settle in Britain in modern times.
Our Heritage Centre offers more opportunities about the rich history of the Cemetery with a free exhibition, an introductory film and free trail leaflet, as well as children’s trails for various ages.
Free parking is available, including disabled spaces. A loan of a wheelchair is available on request.
