Islington Burying Grounds

Wander through one of Toronto's oldest and most storied burial grounds, where gravestones dating back to the early 1800s tell the quiet history of the city's earliest settlers and community builders. The Islington Burying Grounds carry a contemplative, almost garden-like atmosphere that makes for a surprisingly peaceful after-work detour. If you're drawn to local history, genealogy, or simply a moment of stillness amid the city's bustle, this tucked-away spot offers something genuinely rare. Perfect for after work — drop in solo or bring a friend. No experience necessary.
