Highgate Cemetery including Fish and Chips

Highgate Cemetery Including Fish & Chips

When London's churchyards filled up, just as a young Queen Victoria came to the throne, a scheme was launched to build The Magnificent Seven - huge, modern cemeteries in a ring around the City. As soon as it opened in 1839 Highgate Cemetery in the Northern hills became THE place to be buried if you were rich or famous.

Highgate has become one of the greatest cemeteries in the world full of eccentric funerary architecture. In the heart of the grounds the Egyptian Avenue leads to the Circle of Lebanon created by earth being excavated around an ancient Cedar of Lebanon. From Christina Rossetti, Karl Marx, George Michael to Jeremy Beadle – many celebrities and interesting figures chose Highgate as their last resting place.

Before Highgate, we enjoy a fish & chip lunch at Kennedy's Goswell Road; who have been established for 150 years, serving fresh fish from British waters. A delicious way to fuel yourself, prior to a guided tour of the West Cemetery. There is time after for a self-guided tour of the East Cemetery before our departure.
