Overview

This tour is another one of our fun off-the-beaten-track tours and here we will visit some of the most incredible cemeteries in the world. There are more dead people than living in London and on this tour we will visit the graves and tombs of some of the people that made Britain and the modern world what it is today.

We'll also learn about the terrible poverty and sanitation of Victorian London before visiting 2 of the Magnificent Seven Cemeteries that were built by the Victorians to try and improve the city for both the living and the dead.

Please note that the cemeteries are spread around North London and so some time will be spent on the tube travelling between sights.
