Site 2 - Nunhead Cemetery

After some rushed train travel from north east London to south east London on the over ground line...we were...a little too late.

SO we took some photos through the gate and walked around the periphery which included an extremely steep route along a path between the cemetery wall and a site of two water reservoirs.

The top of the hill a 1:10 slope is said to be aligned with the hill in the Highgate cemetery and overlooks St Pauls Cathedral in the centre of this line of sight. From this hill top, one has a panoramic vista of the London skyline looking from the south of the Thames, Northwards. Some interesting, yet slightly unnerving symbols on the gate of the cemetery remind people entering the site of their mortality through the upside down torch and the empty hourglass, encompassed by the wings of an angel and demon.

Friendly note for next time CLOSING TIME. (Which I ended up having written down in my book anyway. #fail)
