I keep meaning to visit both Brompton Cemetery and Battersea Power station for a day of photos.

Looking forward to see what you've managed on your visit.

Hi Emma,

Thanks for the suggestion. I love old cemeteries (we've a pretty good Victorian one here). I'd really like an hour of two in West Brompton. I believe Arnos Grove, also in London is pretty good as well: lots of sad stone angels... and probably a mausoleum or two, as well!

Regards,

Andrew
Best wishes,

Andrew

Brompton is good. So is Kensal Green, and, of course, Highgate. You can get a guided tour at Highgate, which is quite interesting.

It's the late Georgian/Victorian stuff which is so good. You only have to look at it to see what inspired Bram Stoker and Mary Shelley.

Abney Park cemetery in Hackney, East London is good, too. Very Gothic and overgrown. It contains the graves of many notable Victorians, including the founder of the Salvation Army.
The last time I went to Highgate, I was charged for a "Photography permit", by a man at the gatehouse, with a ticket machine!
No man is worth his salt, who has not been banned from at least one Forum, and two Flickr groups.

And there's City of London cemetery in Manor Park, probably even nearer for you. Pics on Flickr here.

Might also get some ideas here.

Emma, if you spend all your time hanging about these cemeteries, taking funerary phographs, life will get a bit maudlin!

You would love some of the French ones , Emma.

They are often full of sort of Greenhouses made of glass . Some are very very ornate .
