Highgate Cemetery

Highgate Cemetery is a tourist stop in London.

Overview

Not far from the homes of Freud and Keats, Highgate Cemetery is another spot more famous for death than life. It therefore comes as little surprise that most of the repeat visitors to this area are those whose interests are on the macabre side. George Elliot, Karl Marx and countless others whose names are less familiar lie buried beneath crumbling tombs, cedars and ivy. Mortals and supernatural beings come here to reflect upon mortality, death and what comes after.
