At nights, these stones are defiled by vagrants doing unspeakable things to one another (Picture: Rex)

A picturesque graveyard in north London has become a hotbed for al fresco sexual activity involving ‘beggars, drug addicts and vagrants’.

One local described how vagrants were taking drugs then ‘going at it like rabbits’ to the tune of pounding music in a cemetery and car park in Stoke Newington.

Sex-hungry men and women, seemingly of no fixed abode, have been gathering for nightly sex parties in the graveyard, rated as one of the most beautiful in London.

The gatherings are rather like middle-class wife-swapping parties, except without car keys, or wives, or houses.


Damian Duggan-Ryan, chairman of the Stoke Newington central community action panel, said: ‘This is a neighbourhood where a lot of nice young couples – until recently – wanted to settle and raise their children.



‘But all of that is changing now, and fast. It’s quite grim.

‘There is loud music coming from the historic Abney Park cemetery, with copulation on the gravestones and orgies around the once-sacred chapel.’

Locals are complaining the area is now being overrun with sex-obsessed drug addicts, beggars and vagrants.

A local shopkeeper said: “It’s sickening – there are loads of them, and they’re always outside my shop, begging.

‘They’re driving away my customers and destroying what should be a beautiful area.’

One elderly local, who asked not to be named, said: ‘I’ve seen people gathering in the cemetery at night getting up to all sorts – I don’t want to think about it, but there’s definitely drugs and alcohol and sex going on.

‘This used to be such a nice area, but now it’s gone to the dogs.’
