Why is London running out?
London's population is growing, and available land for new cemeteries is scarce and expensive. This shortage is pushing councils to consider innovative solutions like reusing old graves or making new ones deeper. The City Hall audit highlights this pressing issue, urging a London-wide strategy to manage the crisis before more boroughs run out of space.
