The Fulham Road Jewish Cemetery (also called Fulham Cemetery[1] and formerly known as the Brompton Jewish Cemetery)[2] is a Jewish cemetery on Fulham Road in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. A locked door on the Fulham Road serves as the entrance to the cemetery, otherwise it is not visible from the street. The cemetery is overlooked by the blocks of flats that surround it.

Ash and plane trees are planted at the cemetery, which is 1 acre (0.40 ha) in size.[3][4] It has been described as a "tiny" cemetery that is "totally unexpected in the Fulham Road" and creates an impression "more typical of Prague than London".[5]

The cemetery is owned by the Western Charitable Foundation,[6] and is open only by appointment.
