Highgate Cemetary
Highgate Cemetery is located in Highgate, north London, and is designated Grade II* on the English Heritage Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in England. Opened in 1839, as part of a plan to provide seven large, modern cemeteries (known as the Magnificent Seven) around the outside of London. Highgate became a fashionable place for burials and was much admired and visited. The Victorian attitude to death and its presentation led to the creation of a wealth of Gothic tombs and buildings. It occupies a spectacular south-facing hillside site slightly downhill from the top of the hill of Highgate itself, next to Waterlow Park. Notable burials include: Douglas Adams, Patrick Caulfield, William Kingdon Clifford, George Eliot (Mary Ann Evans), Michael Faraday and Karl Marx, amongst others.
Pubs are listed by their pint rating (highest first) and then in alphabetical order - the better pubs (in our opinion) appear at the top of the list.
