Tower Hill Memorial
Commonwealth War Graves Commission
Work to restore the Commonwealth War Graves Commission's Tower Hill Memorial and preserve it for future generations is now nearing completion.
Scaffolding began to come down yesterday, Thursday 7 November, but hoarding will remain around the First World War section over the Remembrance weekend.
Organisers of pre-planned events have been contacted and we would ask that you please bear with us while the final parts of this project take place and the site is cleared ready for visitors to return.

⚓️ Annual Remembrance Day Service ⚓️
On Sunday the 10th of November, the Honourable Company of Master Mariners welcomes all to attend the annual remembrance day service held at the Merchant Navy Memorial, Trinity Square Gardens, Tower Hill, London.
23,885 merchant seafarers are commemorated on the Memorial’s Second World War section. Men and women aged between 15 and 74, all have no grave but the sea. Others have graves: its total of almost 40,000 meant the Merchant Navy lost a greater proportion of its personnel than any of the Armed Services.
The service will run between 10:30 and 11:45.
