A fascinating place Kensal Green Cemetery, such luminaries as Emile Blondin who tight rope walked over Niagara Falls in 1859, Marc & his son Isambard Kingdom-Brunel, Princess Sophia fifth daughter of George III & the Duke of Cambridge (George William Frederick) who was C in C of the British Army from 1862 to 1895 plus many more!
Once a year the cemetery has an official open day, there's various stalls some guided tours, afew Goths milling around and this year some World War One re enactors. They were very interesting to talk to and as with all re enactors they knew their stuff!
Very interesting place & well worth a visit.
