Message from Kate Kerr

Highgate Cemetery in London is not your average burial ground. It's like a who's who of famous residents, with everyone from Karl Marx to George Eliot resting in peace there. The cemetery was created in the 19th century to handle London's overflowing population of the deceased, and it quickly became a popular spot for the wealthy to be laid to rest. With stunning monuments, beautiful landscaping, and even a copy of one of the Seven Wonders of the World, Highgate Cemetery is a must-visit for history buffs and graveyard enthusiasts alike. And don't worry, it's still open for business, so you can pay your respects or just take a leisurely stroll among the tombstones.
