Highgate Cemetery located in North London and opened in 1839 holds so many significant individuals who contributed to much of the political movements we discussed within our blog.
Sure, visiting the dead may not be everyone's cup of tea, but honestly, think about it this way, it's amazing to think how some people buried in those cemeteries left a legacy behind and even to this day we follow their ways and teachings.
So, of course, it was obligatory for us to visit, leading us to set off on an early Tuesday morning traveling to North London, though it was unexplored area to us, we were excited to see the famous cemetery
It was quite an eerie feeling (well what else could we expect from a cemetery??)
The guide provided came in great use! (the state it's in probably says enough)
We managed to discover the graves of historic figures like
- Karl Marx
- Ernestine Rose
- Herbert Spencer
- Corin Redgrave
- Hodgson Pratt
- Claudia Jones
- George Holyoake
- Mansoor Hekmat
- Philip Gould
- Yusuf Dadoo
