Nearest Tube Station is Kensal Green. Tel: 020 8969 1145. Office open 9-4.30pm - they have a fact sheet on Mary and are happy to direct to the grave. Mary Seacole's grave number is 6830. To find her grave once at the main Cemetery, turn right into the Catholic Cemetery, carry on until you reach the chapel (on the right), turn left at the chapel and follow the path to the first crossroad, then turn right and walk a small way (look for graves numbered around 6829) and Mary's grave is over to the right - it stands out from many of the others as it has a renovated headstone.
