Volunteer led guided walk focusing on those soldiers commemorated at Willesden Jewish Cemetery who lost their lives during the two World Wars.
Every stop along the way will introduce visitors to stories of Jewish soldiers who sacrificed their lives for King and country. Each story is unique, tragic and fascinating, offering a different insight into what it was like to serve in the war.
The walk begins promptly at the Heritage Centre (the first building by the entrance) and lasts approximately 75 minutes. We encourage visitors to allow extra time before or after the walk to explore the Heritage Centre exhibition and the historic funerary buildings at their own pace.
A limited amount of parking is available on site.
Wheelchairs can be provided upon request.
No dogs, with the exception of assistance dogs.
Our guided walks cost £10, with a concession for Seniors and Students of £8. This allows us to do what we do best - maintaining the House of Life visitor experience and making the Cemetery’s heritage and its stories accessible to people from all backgrounds.
