Brompton Cemetery

One of London's so-called Magnificent Seven of lavish Victorian cemeteries, this historic Grade I-listed spot is the final resting place of more than 200,000 people, including such illustrious Londoners as suffragette leader Emmeline Pankhurst and public health pioneer Dr John Snow. There's 39 acres of peaceful open space to explore, plus a visitors' centre and the glorious, recently restored chapel.
