Opened in 1841 and closed to burials in 1966, the correct title for the cemetery was The City of London and Tower Hamlets Cemetery (not to be confused with the City of London Cemetery in Newham) and it is locally known as Bow Cemetery. There are over 350,000 people buried here.

All burials took place in either consecrated or unconsecrated ground. Those buried in consecrated ground would have been members of the Church of England. Those buried in unconsecrated ground would have been Christians of other denominations, those of other faiths and those of no faith.

The original company registers for the cemetery are held at the London Metropolitan Archives and are available online at Ancestry.
