Such a beautiful and peaceful place to visit. You have to visit the west part of the cemetery on a tour but the knowledge from the guides is well worth it. Interesting to find out that there was fashion for tomb and headstone decoration with a part of the cemetery showing that influences from Ancient Eqypt were popular at one time.

Wear some sturdy shoes as the cemetery is quite overgrown and could be a bit slippery underfoot.

The original West cemetery can only be visited as part of a tour and it is breathtaking and beautiful. If you can't be bothered to wait for a tour you may wander around the Eastern part and of course pay a visit to the memorial of Karl Marx. This part of Highgate is still in use so parts of it might be closed for visits every now and then.
