Proposals for restoration and use of the chapels in Paddington Old Cemetery* are coming together. The name QPK (Queen’s Park and Kilburn) has been adopted by the campaigning group and they are working with the owners, Brent Council, who will shortly be looking for partners and plan to apply for funding.

There was a presentation of the proposals at the QPARA meeting on Tuesday 10th March. A flyer giving more information can be seen or downloaded below.

There will be two Open Days shortly (dates to be announced).

* For those not familiar, Paddington Old Cemetery is behind Salusbury Road, north of Lonsdale Road. The entrance is in Willesden Lane.
