As the first of these two views so clearly shows, Nunhead Cemetery significantly predated any development around it.

All Saints' Cemetery, as it was known, was opened by the London Cemetery Company in 1840, one of only two large scale private cemeteries in South London.

The cemerery stimulated a small number of busin-esses, such as stone masons and undertakers.
