Looking down at the gates of Nunhead Cemetery, with the chapel behind me. That's the Elephant & Castle in the distance, with the Strata building on the right. Here are two good articles about Nunhead Cemetery: flickeringlamps.com/2014/08/01/a-hidden-gem-in-south-east-london-nunhead-cemetery and www.nothingtoseehere.net/2007/04/nunhead_cemetery_london.html

Apparently this is the most expensive tomb in Nunhead Cemetery. Monument for John Allan (1790-1865). 1867. Sculptor: Matthew Noble. Allan was a ship builder. According to a cemetery plaque, “His son and partner, Col. Jon Harrison Allan was an amateur archeologist. It was probably he who designed the massive family tomb based on the Payava tomb at Xanthos.” More here: www.victorianweb.org/sculpture/funerary/152.html and www.mmtrust.org.uk/mausolea/view/323/Allan_Mausoleum

Nunhead Cemetery opened in 1840 and is the second largest Victorian cemetery in London. It was reopened in May 2001 after an extensive restoration project funded by Southwark Council and the Heritage Lottery Fund. Fifty memorials were restored along with the gothic Anglican Chapel, designed by Thomas Little and built in 1844.

It was gloomy and raining while I walked through Nunhead Cemetery with two friends, so consequently I took only a few photos.
