Highgate Cemetery Tour 28.5.11

I have always wanted to visit Highgate Cemetery after seeing it used as a backdrop in various films over the years. It looked quite atmospheric and spooky on the screen and I wanted to see if it was the same in reality. It certainly was! The West Cemetery is the one with the spooky atmoshpere and you need to book a guided walk round it. It is well worth it as they take you to various graves of interest. You can also visit the East Cemetery over the road. You have to pay again, but do not need to go on a tour - you can just wander at will.
