Introduction
This versatile walk takes you through Highgate. The total length of the
walk is 11km but there are various options to shorten the route. You can easily
make it a day out by visiting Highgate Cemetery or extend your walk in
Hampstead Heath. The walk starts at Lauderdale House/Waterlow Park and ends at Finsbury
Park.
Highgate Cemetery is a must see in
Highgate. The cemetery opened in 1839 and is divided into an East and West
part. The east cemetery, where you can find famous Londoners such as Karl Marx,
can be entered any time (entrance fee of £3-£4). If you have more time, I would
really recommend to visit the West Cemetery. It is only accessible via a guide
(a tour costs around £7) but it is really worth it and the guides are great
storytellers. You don't need to make a reservation. Just gather at the west
gate at the hour and a guide will be waiting for you. |
