Nunhead is a suburb in the London Borough of Southwark, England.[2] It is an inner-city suburb located 4 miles (6.4 km) southeast of Charing Cross. It is the location of the 52-acre (0.21 km2) Nunhead Cemetery.[3] Nunhead has traditionally been a working-class area and, with the adjacent neighbourhoods, is currently going through a lengthy process of gentrification.[4][5] Nunhead is the location of several underground reservoirs, built by the Southwark and Vauxhall Waterworks Company.[6]
