St Pancras and Islington Cemetery is a cemetery in East Finchley, North London. Although it is situated in the London Borough of Barnet, it is run as two cemeteries, owned by two other London Boroughs, Camden (formerly St Pancras) and Islington. The fence along the boundary which runs west to east between the two parts of the cemetery has been removed, although the line of it is still marked.
St Pancras and Islington is the third-largest single cemetery serving London, and in burial numbers, it is the largest in the UK with around one million interments and cremations.[citation needed] The cemetery is designated Grade II* on the English Heritage Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in England.[1]
The cemetery was the first publicly-owned cemetery in London.[2][1]
