Arguably London’s most famous graveyard,Highgate Cemetery is the best-known of the Magnificent Seven cemeteries that were built on the peripheries of Victorian London (others includeNunheadandKensal Green). It was built in 1839 – first came the famous West Cemetery, then the later East Cemetery extension that opened in 1860. Why’s Highgate Cemetery...
Undeservedly lost in the shadow of Hampstead Heath, Highgate Wood is one of thenicest green spaces in North London– a meandering stretch of ancient woodland that was mentioned in the Domesday Book. Stretching from the gates of Highgate Station all the way towards Alexandra Palace, this piece of woodland is gorgeous at any time of the year, it’s par...
Highgate is no stranger to imposing architecture, yet the elaborate Neo-Gothic buildings ofHolly Villagenever fail to make me stop and stare. The village within a village was built at the behest of Angela Burdett-Coutts – in Victorian times, the second richest woman in Britain – and no expense was spared on its rather outrageously flamboyant design...

Hunting them out is one of my favourite things to do in Highgate. We won’t give you a blow by blow rundown but here are a few to look out for. 1. Poet Samuel Tay...
The pretty Georgian exterior of Kenwood House makes an attractive addition to Hampstead Heath. Run by English Heritage, inside you’ll find an art collection featuring works by Rembrandt, Vermeer, Gainsborough and Cezanne.

The 29 acres of Waterlow Park was donated to the public by Sir Sidney Waterlow to be a ‘garden for the gardenless’. It has remained so since, a welcoming combination of formal gardens, stretches of lawn and water features. Lauderdale House – an arts and education centre whose buildings date back to the Tudor times sits at the centre of it all. Didn...
London’s legendary mayor Dick Whittington is the stuff of lore – so it may come as a surprise to find this small stone statue commemorating one of the pivotal events in his life. The Whittington Stone marks the spot where Whittington, at the beginning of his journey leaving London, heard the Bow Bells chiming ‘Turn again Whittington, thrice Lord Ma...
Starting just behind The Boogaloo,the Parkland Walk is one of my favouritewalks in London.It traces the path of a former railway from Highgate to Finsbury Park – though you can also continue from Highgate in the other direction to Alexandra Palace too.
