We asked for your views on the proposed restoration of the Grade 2 listed East Lodge building at Nunhead Cemetery, as well as additional facilities and activities you would like to be made available there in the future.
You showed great support to the project and gave us lots of feedback on how you value the site at the moment and how it could be improved through the provision of facilities and a programme of activities.
We submitted a funding application in order to develop the project further and to eventually deliver it.
Should the application be successful, the development phase is expected to start in Autumn 2022 and will involve some in-depth public engagement activities throughout 2023.
All the ideas collected through the survey will inform the interpretation strategy and activity plan.
Please see the consultation report attached below.
Southwark Council and the Friends of Nunhead Cemetery aim to restore the East Lodge located at the Linden Grove entrance to the site in order to make it available for public use as a community facility. The restored Lodge would have step free access to both floors with a café, publically available and fully accessible toilet facilities, an exhibition space, community rooms and Friends of Nunhead Cemetery visitor reception area. Associated improved access, landscaping and additional facilities are also being included – such as facilities to improve practical work and provide a base for volunteers.
This survey is being undertaken by Southwark Council and the Friends of Nunhead Cemetery (FONC) to help us better understand why visitors come to the cemetery and, especially, to help us plan for the future of the East Lodge and the cemetery as a whole.
