Highgate Cemetery

If you couldn't find who you were looking for in Westminster Abbey, and you're craving some of the rich greenery offered up by north London's less tread territory, then a serene visit to Highgate Cemetery is a must. Nestled in the quiet landscape along Hampstead Heath's periphery, the cemetery is the final resting place to Douglas Adams, Karl Marx, and Patrick Caulfield. A cemetery might not sound like the most cheerful of afternoon outings, but rest assured: Highgate's beauty attracts thousands of visitors each year, and the walk into Gospel Oak is a perfect way to reinvigorate yourself before a leisurely heath day or an indulgent brunch.
