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. |  |

Please tell me that as you got closer to where Jeremy lay there was at least a sign that said 'WATCH OUT, BEADLE'S ABOUT'.
I'm sure he'd have found that amusing himself. |  | | |

There's something very off about letting people pay to see people's graves. |  |

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

I thought it was worth it when I went FWIW. Tour was excellent. The north cemetery is really cool. |  |

Hmmm, charging money to see the Karl Marx grave, has anyone told Alanis Morissette? |  | | |

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. |  |

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. | |
