Highgate Cemetery

I always enjoy a wander round an old grave yard and Highgate Cemetery has long been on my list of places to visit. So last week, needing a reasonably quiet place to participate in a conference call, I scurried up Highgate Hill from Archway and soon found myself in the East Cemetery, an oasis of peace and tranquillity in the heart of London.  After my call finished, I took an hour out to roam about the pathways and study the final resting places of many people, some famous and some known only to their families. And it was remarkably soothing.
