Trees, planes, Cedars.. Burials from old City grave yards and used for reburial of remains from the grounds of Whitefield’s Tabernacle, Tottenham Court Road (1898), and Ram's Chapel Homerton (1933).  The best feature is a fine avenue of plane trees approached through the entrance, which has a semi- circle of brick piers. Discreet offices of the later c20. Among many small crowded tombstones a few granite monuments of the late c19 to early c20. Grave of Mrs. Reggie Kray as well as Reggie and Ronnie.
