  • A booking fee of £2 and a security levy of £1.50 will be added to all orders. 

On this virtual tour at JW3, we see the last resting place of both the famous and the unknown whose varied lives produce for us stories that are enthralling, inspiring, tragic and even humorous. 

From the comfort of your seats in JW3's cinema – and with a whole host of film slides – we will stroll through this 140-year-old cemetery and come across the famous scientist, robbed of the glory of one of the 20th century’s greatest discoveries; four former chief rabbis each with revealing stories; the father and son Rothschilds who could not have been more different; the London teenager who emigrated to the other side of the world and became a Prime Minister; the royal illusionist, inventor of the saw the lady in half trick; two business giants, one in groceries and one in furniture; Lady Chutzpah who continually stunned the world with her flamboyance; the son of an East End second hand clothes dealer who literally went from rags to riches; and there are many other fascinating lives to celebrate and tragic young deaths to lament on this virtual tour.
