Highgate cemetery

I paid a visit to one of my favorite places in London today, the Highgate cemetery. It is a Victorian cemetery dating back to 1830's and the London cholera epidemic. The place itself is a magnificent and peaceful sanctuary with big mausoleums and beautiful grave stones that the nature has now taken over with. If you plan a visit remember to go there well in advance as the guided tours are easily sold out.
