London: Abney Park Cemetery

Perhaps not for the faint of heart; Abney Park Cemetery is one of the Magnificent Seven. The gardens within the cemetery walls are equal parts atmospheric and majestic – Abney Park was the first arboretum/cemetery in Europe, with an emphasis of aesthetically-appealing and educational landscaping. A few hours spent wandering around the cemetery can be invested in famous-grave spotting with a number of high profile burials taking place in the location – most notably the founders of The Salvation Army, William and Catherine Booth.
