Britain's Most Prestigious Cemetery
About the Friends
The Friends of Kensal Green Cemetery (FoKGC) is a registered charity whose objects are the preservation, conservation and restoration of the Kensal Green Cemetery, for the public benefit.
We are run by an Executive Committee of Trustees, elected by our members each year.
Kensal Green Cemetery is still owned by the same company which founded it in 1830, - the General Cemetery Company – with whom we work to restore monuments and maintain the historic landscape. In addition, we run regular tours and events, facilitate private events to celebrate notable ‘residents’ and engage with local communities to preserve the biodiversity and tranquillity of 72 acres of open green space.
Tours and events
Our team of expert and entertaining guides run regular tours on Sunday afternoons.
We also organise a programme of special events on particular themes. Forthcoming events include:
A plan of the Cemetery, with details of how to reach us, is available to download here.
