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.

William and Jane Morris only lived here for five years; not a happy time of their marriage. But there is humility, authority and even bite, in the domestic scale. The rigorous, holistic design-hand at work belies any sense of souvenir shop Morris-lite. The vegetable garden in late Summer is the place to be.

The tunnels are a Crane.tv favourite. We have used the space as a backdrop for several films including a music session with The Civil Wars.
