Soanes Centre
The Soanes Centre is an education and ecology studies centre in Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park, London, opened in 1993 by David Bellamy.
Since its construction it has been used by the charity Friends of Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park, to support their care of the 31-acre site as a historic Victorian-era Magnificent Seven cemetery, and as a designated local nature reserve and Metropolitan Site for the Importance of Nature Conservation.
Since 1997, it has been used to provide free workhops for local schools run by the charity Setpoint London East. About 8000 children have benefited from science and nature workshops every year, using the park as a natural environment for hands-on experience.
