Brompton Cemetery is not a typical Royal Park. During the time of Queen Victoria, Brompton was a village near the pulsing city of London where people thronged to work as the Industrial Revolution gained steam.
The churchyard were filled; thus the need for more cemeteries. Brompton Cemetery holds over 200,000 Londoners who have rested here since 1840.
One famous woman has a special spot, Emmeline Pankhurst.
