This cemetery’s most famous resident is Karl Marx. In 1970 it became the scene of a mass hunt for the ‘Highgate Vampire’, sparked by local rumours of supernatural activity.
Gorgeous cemetery, nicely maintained. Peace in west London can be found here along with a few celebrity residents.
Walk amongst a massive collection of real graves and abandoned grave stones, and visit the disused church.
One of the most tranquil walks in SE london. Listen out for cuckoos and woodpeckers while you read all the names and imagine the histories.
