I'm Looking for some help really. My paternal Grandfather was buried in the London area, Ive looked on the resources on the Ancestry website but to no avail of where hes buried, is there any where else I could look up this information. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try DeceasedOnline.
What sort of date are we talking about?
-
He died in or around 1979
-
“In or around” - I’d suggest your first step should be to check FreeBMD to confirm timing and location of death.
-
I agree with avm228 regarding timing and location, and then, unless you already know where he was living at the time, I would obtain his death certificate to help pinpoint his burial site.
-
I know he died in hospital and registered at lambeth

The public tree of "Reuben White" . . . . .
https://www.ancestry.co.uk/family-tree/person/tree/164251287/person/172137696360/facts
includes the name of a "living" daughter.
Would she know where her father is buried?
-
we are not in touch with each other.

It is quite possible that he was cremated.
There may be a mention in a newspaper but not many London papers are online but could be available at the British Library in London. Your profile does not say where in the world you are located so this may be a silly idea.
