Walked by this little old cemetery last evening. Couldn't resist. I just love wandering through old cemeteries (I need help). I know, it is the hungry ghost festival but that's in Asia so no worries about the dead. Plus I don't really believe in ghost. Not all the time anyway.
South Ealing cemetery (1861) is one of London's oldest Victorian cemeteries. The graveyard is non-denominational just like Highgate cemetery (1839).
The cemetery is well kept with just a couple of broken monuments. Not sure if any famous people are buried here.
I did not have much time to stroll around as I was in a hurry. Check out London Cemeteries for a larger variety of (better) pictures.

and even the cemetary looks better than the ones we have back at home... more well kept I guess :P
hmm...maybe I should visit a Canadian cemetary lol

No problem.
Pity about the state of cemeteries in Malaysia. No respect for the dead!
Will await picture of Canadian graves.
*grin* I was just there like last month when I popped by Ealing looking for accommodation.
Thanks for the link Jon - your pictures are great though. South Ealing is a gorgeous cemetery. The lodge came up for sale a couple of years ago and I'd've loved to have lived there!!
some great photos here, I am slightly obsessed with taking photos in cemeteries (see link on site if you're at all interested)
Quite some new comments. I wouldn't say cemeteries are spooky. And the flats behind South Ealing cemetery happens to be fab too.
C.sisters, I also have an unheathly obsession with cemeteries particularly London Victorian ones.
