A relaxed, creative day out exploring one of London’s most atmospheric locations

Join us for our second photowalk of the year as we wander through the remarkable Highgate Cemetery. It’s one of London’s famous Victorian garden cemeteries and a wonderfully inspiring place to explore with a camera. Whether you’re drawn to bold black and white images, quiet details, or simply enjoy discovering new places with friendly company, this walk offers something for everyone.

We’ll be meeting on Monday 23rd March at 10.30 am and finishing around 4 pm. It’s a gentle, unhurried day with plenty of time to look around, chat, and enjoy making photographs together.

What You’ll Find There

Highgate Cemetery has two very different sides, and we’ll have access to both:

East Cemetery

A peaceful, slightly wild space where ivy, trees, and weathered stone create beautiful textures and soft, natural scenes. It’s perfect for anyone who enjoys exploring shapes, patterns, and the quiet character of older places.

West Cemetery

This is the more architectural side, home to the Egyptian Avenue and the Circle of Lebanon. It’s full of striking structures and dramatic light. Photography is welcomed here, and tripods are allowed during the timed entry slot, so there’s plenty of opportunity to slow down and experiment.

You don’t need any specialist knowledge to enjoy either side. Just bring your curiosity and whatever camera you’re comfortable with.

Booking and Cost

To keep things simple, we’ll book tickets as a group so we can all enter together.

• Cost: £10 per person (includes both sides of the cemetery)
• Deadline: Please confirm your place and send payment by 21st February, as tickets are released four weeks in advance.
