citylikeyou — Nunhead — London by Mike Guppy

London / Cemetery

I grew up in the countryside, and if you’re ever in need some instant escape from the city, this place is like a time warp. It’s a huge space full of over grown mausoleums and graves, feels like a movie set. They also do tours.

London / Cemetery

It might sound rather odd to suggest going to a cemetery, but this has to be one of my new favourite places to visit. Getting lost down one of the narrow paths certainly doesn’t make you feel like you’re in London anymore which can be refreshing. Another interesting fact about this place is that the late Amy Winehouse shot her music video for ‘Back to Black’ here.

Audiophile paradise. Boasting one of the coolest looking and beautifully crafted sound-systems I've ever seen. More listening bar than club, it has a low key vibe with a diverse roaster of talented DJ's spinning an eclectic mix of tunes and full albums.
