Lady Dollers and I went for a walking tour of Highgate in the sun yesterday 10:55 - Jul 11 with 1315 views | The_Flashing_Smile | Although we gave up at the cemetery. £10 each to get in, or £15 each if you want a tour! £20-£30 to look round a graveyard! I wouldn't be seen dead in there at that price. Mildly intrigued to see Karl Marx's grave but apart from that, no thanks. I was surprised to see, on the leaflet, that both Ugo Ehiogu and, erm, Jeremy Beadle are in there as well. | |

Ha, well as per my OP we didn't go in, but yes, that would be good and a fitting last prank! | |

Yeah does seem a bit pointless without the tour; you're bound to miss something and without the stories/info/history you're just wandering around a graveyard for a tenner. | |

My Dad drove over 5 hours from Vegas to LA to see Al Jolsen's grave but turned up and it was shut on Saturdays*** ***He hated travelling distances and wasn't the most patient of men - he may or may not have shouted something anti Semitic on arrival. | |

Yep, should be free entry but OK to pay for a tour guide. I had a disagreement at Ely Cathedral recently in regards to entrance fees. Shouldn’t have to pay for entry to any places of worship, in my opinion. | |

Highgate Cemetery is a load of old, esoteric and fairly fragile Victorian monuments though so some of that fee goes on the upkeep of all that. | |

I'd have thought the tour money and donations would be enough. To charge people £10 to just walk around's ridiculous. The best museums in London are free, so given this is essentially a museum of gravestones I'm not sure why it's so different. | |

Not much changes at Highgate. All the free museums regularly rotate exhibitions etc. Not apples and oranges. £10 is a bit steep though. | |
