The cemetery contains a number of distinctive monuments, three of which are
listed buildings. Most striking is the green bronze memorial to George Broad, who owned the foundry which made the
Eros statue at
Piccadilly Circus. Nearest
Charing Cross Hospital, the Young family mausoleum is a single-storey building in
Gothic architecture style. The third listed grave is that of an Australian gold prospector, with a
bas relief of him, opposite the Young family mausoleum. A screen wall memorial erected by the
Commonwealth War Graves Commission (who list it as
Hammersmith Old Cemetery) in Section 31 lists all 191 Commonwealth service personnel buried in registered war graves in the cemetery – 186 from
World War I and 5 from
World War II. Two
J. Lyons and Co. war memorials were relocated from their factory at
Greenford to the cemetery in 2002. The World War I memorial is Grade II listed. There is a memorial to the 13 people killed – 11 of them women – in a 1918 explosion at Blake's munitions factory, Wood Lane. It was unveiled in 1920 and Grade II listed in 2017.
