Highgate Cemetery

"Highgate Cemetery is open daily from 10am-5pm (March-October) and until 4pm the rest of the year. Some of the most famous people who are buried here is the philosopher and economist, famous for his theories about capitalism, socialism, and communism, Karl Marx – as well as one of the best-selling musicians of all time George Michael. George Eliot, considered one of the greatest authors of the Victorian era, is also buried at Highgate under her birth name, Mary Ann Evans. A ticket to see both sides of the cemetery is £10. The East cemetery on its own is £6. You can also join a guided tour lasting about 75 min. For £15 – where you gain access to the entire cemetery and the Terrace Catacombs are opened exclusively for tour participants. "

"Normally a cemetery isn't what you'd think of as the place to be. But in addition to it being quiet and secluded, this cemetery offers some high profile regulars: Karl Marx, Malcolm McClaren, Feliks Topolski, Michael Faraday, George Eliot, etc. Explore both sides of the cemetery, and admire the abundance of trees, memorials and wildlife inside."

"We were too early and it was still closed but the architecture and these old graves that nature's reclaiming are mind-blowing. Even from the outside looking in"
