About

Nunhead North sits on the northern edge of Nunhead in the London Borough of Southwark. The area is mainly residential, with rows of Victorian terraces, some interwar housing and short streets of local shops and cafés around Nunhead Green. The Old Nun’s Head pub stands by the green as a local meeting point. Nunhead railway station is on the ward boundary and provides regular rail services for commuters. Community groups run events and small projects in parks, church halls and on the green throughout the year.

A defining feature of the ward is Nunhead Cemetery, part of London’s Magnificent Seven. The cemetery contains many Victorian funerary monuments and a restored mortuary chapel, and is managed by local volunteers together with the council; it is used for walks, wildlife recording and occasional community gatherings. Quiet footpaths and tree-lined routes link the cemetery to nearby streets, giving the neighbourhood several stretches of open space within easy walking distance of homes and local shops.
