Place to see: Brompton Cemetery, Kensington, United Kingdom
A path through Brompton
Walking down a path alone through Brompton Cemetery in London on a cold, cloudy winter day, I couldn't help but feel so grateful that I was one of the few things alive and well in this Victorian cemetery.
About this place:
Though cemeteries are not often thought of as an enjoyable place to explore, Brompton Cemetery in West London offers a tranquil place to wander amongst the dearly departed of the Victorian age. The squirrels run rampant, darting between your legs, trees and gravestones, but always looking for a handout. The mix of memorials ranges from lavish family mausoleums, ornate Celtic crosses to graves that have been reclaimed by the Earth via Ivy. A walk along the neatly laid out paths, reading epithets can end up being quite enlightening about one’s own life.
