Fortune Green is a small area in West Hampstead, London Borough of Camden.
Lying on the south-west side of the Finchley Road, Hampstead town council decided to build its overflow cemetery there in the 1840s. A guide to the cemetery, with short biographies of selected grave occupants with map of their location and illustrations of the more prominent monuments was published in 2000.[1][2]
It now lies in the London Borough of Camden.
