Beautiful cemetery in a busy area of London. Been in London for 20 years but never manged to visit it but today was in the area and decided to go. Such a great place to walk through, enjoy the weather and think about of nature of life and death. Also it gives vibes from HoMaM3, when playing as a Necromancer. I read you can still get buried there, which is surprising. Would like to visit during the night, must look fantastic in full moon.

One of the ‘Magnificent Seven’ cemeteries of London, and it’s easy to see why. Unlike some of the other seven cemeteries, this one feels slightly more kept and orderly (though not sterile - it is a garden cemetery after all). It has one of the widest selections of famous graves (bar potentially Highgate) due to it’s location in a historically fairly wealthy area of London, and its geometric width ways and length ways paths make locating graves easy. There is also a visitors centre that was open when I visited at the north end, and they were very helpful by locating some ancestors for me. They also put on general and themed tours, which I will try and attend next time. Aside from the variety of graves and famous burials (including Emmelime Pankhurst, John Snow, many Thesigers, and VC winners), the architecture is really special. The central section and avenue really frame the whole site, and compliments the graves, monuments and mausoleums. Definitely worth a visit (temporary or permanent!)

A truly gothic place — so clean and calm, even though it’s a cemetery. While walking around, you can feel the history of London and the lives of those who were once Londoners. I really enjoyed touching the past and immersing myself in its silent stories. There’s also a lovely café nearby, which makes the visit even more enjoyable — a perfect spot to sit, reflect, and take it all in.
