Getting to Islington and Camden cemetery in East Finchley.

Hello .Could anyone give me directions,please,for the quickest way to get there.Unfortunately my sister has recently passed away and as we live up North we do not arrive in London ,Euston until 10 am.The service is at 12 30. I would be grateful for any replies.Thankyou.

Sorry for your loss gleno.

As you are in Euston, that is on the Northern Line, so go down to the tube, be careful what line you get on as the Northern Line splits, get off at East Finchley and the Cemetery will be about 1km walk from the station. If not mobile enough perhaps a taxi from Euston of East Finchley. Go to google maps to get your bearings, it's quite clear. Here's a link but I doubt it will work.

Sorry to hear of your loss, gleno1.

Some advice

Islington and Camden Cemetery is huge. It's the largest cemetery in London. There are a number of different chapels within it and they all seem to be miles from the road. Your train gets in at 10am, if you get the tube immediately, you'll be at East Finchley by 10:30-odd. (Only get a tube that's going to Barnet or Mill Hill East) It's a bit more than 1km to the gate of the cemetery and could easily be the same distance once you're inside.

When you get out at East Finchley, there's a cab office immediately opposite. They'll know the place inside out. You'd even have time for a quick cuppa in the cafe next door before you go.

Alternatively, I live within five minutes and would be more than happy to take you up there. Dunno if the AB's rules allow that, or how we could make contact, but there has to be a way.
