Occasionally in London, well it is such a great big city so maybe more often than occassionally, you make a new little discovery. My recent stumbled-upon-delight is Highgate Cemetery. Could be a creepy place I guess? …. Grave yards do have a reputation for being homes to ghosts and ghouls.
However, I am easily persuaded that they are bit more like a history book. And with a bit of Imagination you can marvel at the 100s of lives that are there.
Highgate Cemetry, it is quite wonderfully disordered with Ivy covered graves 
in the main. Possibly the most famous person to be interned in recent times is Karl Marx. While for most of the other famous people you have to read head stones and climb over trees…. it is hard to miss Karl! On top of the pedestal is an enormous bust of his head. It is honestly absolutely enormous.
Anyway, a new little gem to wonder about in the dying London summer.
