Highgate Cemetery...

My favorite place so far...

Highgate Cemetary is an old Victorian cemetery that dates back to 1836ish.  It was the best day to go as it was raining and cold - very macabre!  I loved it although we were worried we'd catch our death!  It's one of those places you could just walk around for days.  Of course there are a lot of famous writers, poets, actors, and such buried there.  The most famous I'm sure is Karl Marx - whose memorial is pictured above.  They still bury people there today - although the volunteer said it was very hard to get a plot!!
