This beautiful Victorian cemetery is a must-see when you're in the small village of Highgate. Among the anonymous are some 850 notables and celebrities, including Karl Marx and George Eliot. But it's the Gothic appearance of the tombs - angels, funerary urns, Celtic crosses, all surrounded by lush vegetation - that really stands out. Following bizarre incidents in the 1970s, vampire hunts shook public opinion. The latest famous arrival is George Michael, but his grave in a private plot is not accessible.

Nous avons visité la partie ouest du cimetière, là où repose Karl Marx. L'endroit est fleuri, paisible, la promenade est agréable.
La partie ouest se visite uniquement avec un guide, et la tombe de Georges Michael n'est pas visible du public.
I love to visit the cemeteries in the United Kingdom, they have something mysterious, cinema.

It is no exception to the rule, it is superb, especially a day of rain, dotted with breaks. However, I put only 3 star reasons to it: it is not free, while you can visit other cemeteries free, and the second reason is that you must be accompanied by a guide, group. And there honestly, spoils all, because it is more beautiful stroll among the old stones only, in silence.
