it is kalder it is an incredible place, we went to the wast and west cemetery, the west cemetery you has to do it with a tour guide, we saw Karl Marx tombs and other famous people, the west cemetery it's more interesting as is older.... i would really recommended it to anyone... many famous scary films were film there.

I live four stops away from it on the Underground, so I've been there a few times. It is indeed incredible. The supernatural associations are great fun:

this was in north london, but it's not little although some parts had overgrown, it was close until 1960 or 70 then they opened again and they did some restoration work....still there are parts where you can't go...


Klader we went because my daughter was looking forward to see the vampire :))

I ve just stumbled across this post and having lived in Highate, Hampstead, Hackney, stoke newington etc it was quite a shock to see something that I have known for many years here on PBH. Great foto of highgate cem, however Abney Park cem is a hidden jewel in N16 north london and ok now it is very trendy but I lived for many years very close to this hidden oasis opened around 1840, other great places are clissold park, stoke newington church street, all made popular beacause of the Tony Blair Islington overspill, not forgetting stamford hill and the extreme jewish fundalmentalists long black coats ,hair ringlets, gotta stop now , might get messy, not forgeting the polish that have infiltrated this area, ok history has its way

It was my son who was living in North London at the time who took me to Abney Park; he loved that place. There's an old, abandoned chapel there where pidgeons come to roost, the whole area is totally overgrown and full of hidden graves and crosses in all different shapes. My son told me that in chapel he had seen the remains of sacrificed chicken with blood and feathers all over the place. I took lots of pics but since this was some time ago, perhaps 10 years or so, I didn't even have a digital camera that time.

They didn't disappear, many Picts were sent to gael and languished in prison celts.
