Within the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea survive two cemeteries dating from second quarter of the 19th Century, Brompton and Kensal Green. Kensal Green Cemetery Of the two, Kensal Green is the earlier in date being more important historically, pre-eminent nationally in terms of its influence, importance of people buried there, overall richness and the number of outstanding memorials.

Grave mistake to miss - This 70 acre cemetery is a haven of peace and quiet, a wildlife sanctuary, an open air sculpture park and a three dimensional record of the great and good of the 19th century. Just about anyone who was famous in Victorian England is buried here.

To really learn about the place, and the people buired there, go on one of the Sunday afternoon tours. They take two hours and start from the Anglican Chapel in the centre of the cemetery. The tour price, of about £5, includes a visit to the catcomb (on some days) a two hour walk round the graves of the famous and infamous followed by fresh coffee, or tea, and biscuits at the Dissenters' Chapel & Gallery. The gallery holds exhibitions throughout the year, check web site first. 11-11-08
