South Ealing Cemetery (formerly Ealing and Old Brentford Cemetery) is a cemetery in Ealing established in 1861. [1] The cemetery covers 21 acres. [2]

The cemetery contains the Commonwealth war graves of 184 armed service personnel, as well as that of a Belgian soldier of World War I. [2] [3]

The cemetery contains two Grade 2 listed chapels at the South Ealing Road entrance. The chapels are linked by a carriage arch, with clock and belfry above, designed by Ealing's prolific municipal architect Charles Jones (architect) and built in 1861.
