what's on at London Road Cemetery : cov.kids

Yes, it's a cemetery - but hear us out. One of Coventry's most beautiful green spaces, London Road is a Victorian gem full of wildflowers, impressive monuments, and more history per square metre than most museums. Events here tend to be genuinely lovely: guided walks, nature activities, and the odd atmospheric gathering that reminds you this city has been around a lot longer than the ring road.
