London / Cemetery

If you want a peaceful day out of the busy city, Highgate doesn’t really feel like London. The cemetery is interesting and peaceful, there’s a tour of the old half which is definitely worth the money. Karl Marx, among others are buried there.

London / Museum

My favorite museum.

London / Shop

The fantastical shop front for the children’s literacy charity, the Ministry of Stories – which offers one-to-one writing tuition for local kids. The shop sells ‘Bespoke and Everyday Items for the Living, Dead and Undead’, including Thickest Human Snot, Compacted Earwax, and Tinned Fear. (And all their products make perfect presents for humans.) All proceeds go to the charity.

London / Museum

Founded in 1828 the museum houses around 67,000 specimens many of which are now extinct or endangered. My favorite is the skull of a Bottlenose Whale from 1860.
