The greats are laid to rest at Kensal Green, from princes to famous authors, alongside everyday people. Without sounding morose, I love to walk through this cemetery. It is steeped in history and stretches all the way from Scrubs Lane to Ladbroke Grove. It feels like a secret place, with lots of hidden meanings and amazing gravestones to discover (a fantastic place for artists). There is a tour the first Sunday of every month that takes in the catacombs. I am yet to take the tour but certainly will in the near future. Apart from it's history, and famous 'residents', there are great contemplative walks to be had here, and also I'm told, an ideal place for bird watching in London, as they seem to thrive here.
