London burials

Does anyone know in which London cemetery people living in central London (ie Covent Garden/Holborn/Lincoln's Inn) would most likely have been buried in the period between 1870 and 1914? Most of the websites I've looked at divide the capital into north, east, south and west.

Darryl I think that's hard to say. I think by that time London had become so crowded that cemeteries were used further afield. St Pancras & Islington cemetery for example is in Finchley, London Borough of Barnet, and St Marylebone cemetery is in East Finchley. Of course its possible that people were buried in a family plot which might have been bought when the family lived in a different area and then they moved. nell
