Nunhead – SE15
Bordered by East Dulwich, Peckham, New Cross and Brockley lies the ancient area of Nunhead.  Reputedly named after a local Inn called 'The Nun’s Head' it is most famously known for its cemetery. Originally called ‘All Saints’, Nunhead Cemetery was consecrated in 1840.  It is one of the seven great Victorian cemeteries, which include Highgate, built in a ring around the outskirts of London which could no longer house its deceased population.
