Fulham Cemetery, London
Visited February 2019
Also known as Fulham Palace Cemetery and Fulham Old Cemetery, this is a lovely place to visit, although in places it's clear that a large number of gravestones have been removed by the council to leave lawn behind. The area near the chapel (at the Fulham Palace Road entrance) has the most intact graves. Opened in 1865, the graves are mostly Victorian and Edwardian in date, and there aren't really any large monuments
It was a crisp late winter day when I visited over a year ago (yes, yes, tardy at putting up posts!), and as well as the snowdrops in bloom the cemetery wildlife - mostly of the squirrel variety - was out and about and remarkably tame. It's well worth a wander round, and was quiet when I visited, and is probably even prettier in summer when the trees are all in leaf and it looks less barren. Maybe next year!
