Many people talking about it being “over grown”. The meadow flowers are left to grow long in the summer to benefit the insects and wildlife in the cemetery. It’s very good that these old graves are now habitats for nature and not sterile lawn. I live round here and it really is amazing how much nature is inside this urban area. Interestingly, plants that people planted on the graves of their loved ones a hundred years ago come up again year after year. If they were ‘weed whacked’ then this wouldn’t happen. Sometimes it’s good to have a hands off approach and let nature do it’s thing. A difficult thing for some people to understand I suppose!

There is nothing like these cemeteries that make up the magnificent seven. They are extraordinary and you are so very fortunate to have them. Their history is forever.

Beautiful ! the monuments were created before all the technology we have now. this must have been back-breaking work! The Artistry on these tombs and headstones!

Thankyou so much totally breathtaking - it's like a City in itself. I loved the squirrels they are like these friendly keepers of the Cemetery - reminded me of Nutkins and his friends from Peter Rabbit. Best wishes and good vibes from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺❤️🇬🇧☮️🙏🐨🦘

Perhaps H.G. Wells got the the Time Machine story idea from tomb story and Edgar Rice Burroughs John Carter of Mars from the tomb teleportation stories? Perhaps the lost key opens the tomb and turns on the time machine? 😁

American here; i have actually visited this cemetery. it would be cool if you did a collaboration with faces of the forgotten.

Loved the birds chirping. Very peaceful. Thanks

I was nearby in Earl's Court for a summer in the early 90s. The crypts under the colonnades had been destroyed and pretty much ransacked. London was just beginning to invest in restoring this central location. I loved walking through this beautiful monument daily. I learned much about the people who rested there, largely in peace and quiet.

These are beautiful grave stones. The animals are tame because the dead doesn't bother them.....cute little squirrel.

Theses head stones are amazing works of art. You picked a fantastic day for this video. The Victorians had real style.

I am astonished, that there are bicycles and even dogs allowed on this cemetery! This is an absolute no-go on German cemeteries. I love animals, but let dogs sh..... into the bushes of a cemetery, maybe even on a grave that nobody tends anymore, where the headstone or the cross has fallen or sunken into the ground, this seems rather odd to me. The squirrels are really sweet, I would like to go there just to bring them nuts or something. The place in itself is quite remarkable with these lots of graves and crosses, and all of these differ from another, this was real art and beautiful to behold. Nowadays the graves nearly all look the same in one or the other way, a pity.

Thank you so much for taking us around this lovely old cemetery ❤

I tried to go today to Brompton Cemetery, unfortunately, the weather wasn't that good as I left home with just a T-shirt on me and when I went to Bond Street station to take the bus 74 that would take me to the cemetery, it was bloody windy and cold (no freezing but cold) and there was no sunshine so I gave up my trip to the cemetery but I will try again on Wednesday ........ I've been to Algate Cemetery, Edmonton Cemetery and the one by Stamford Hill (close to the Jewish area), they are interesting places, full of history and kind of sadness and loneliness.

The squirrels will follow you around, and you can actually handfeed them. I met an old lady there once, years ago. She had bags of nuts, and seeds, and had a group of squirrels surrounding her, who she was hand feeding. She told me she had done it daily, for years.

06:31 - they filmed an episode of the Crown on Netflix, in this very spot recently. Season 5 episode 3 - if you forward to 44:28 - you can see you were stood in the exact spot the camera pans around. It looks like they placed a fake grave on the ground to film. I knew I recognised this spot as soon as I saw your video.

Its so peaceful and calm there

Apropos that Ms Pankhursts marker is brown. I hope the King's horse wasn't hurt in her death. Invest in a telescoping swiffer duster so you can clear the cobwebs before shoving your camera in for a view. Also you can look for a high power camping flashlight that is rechargeable online. I have a 2 million candle power flas....torch for such things!

Why isn’t the cemetery kept neat? That’s really sad it’s in such a grown up shape.

Do they not take care of the weeds or tall grass? In America the cemetery’s are mowed and weed waked.

Was this cemetery used in one of the Sherlock Holmes movies with Robert Downey Jr?

Doesnt the cemetery have a master list of everyone buried in it? If they do you then can do research and add that to your talk.. And doesnt the city take care of the cemetery?

I enjoy your videos, but I wish you'd share a little more information about the various graves you feature. Often you just give a partial name and quickly move on without so much as the date of death.

So sad that people dont come together to cut the grass at these cemeteries
