The Tradescant Tomb, The Garden Museum, Lambeth
Visited May 2009

In the gardens of the Garden Museum (itself a deconsecrated church), is the highly decorated tomb of John Tradescant, a plant hunter and gardener for Charles I. The tomb dates from the late 17th century, but has been re-carved in the 18th and 19th centuries. You have to pay to get into the museum, and from there into the small garden which contains this tomb, but if you like plants as well as tombs then it's worth a visit.
