Many people talking about it being “over grown”. The meadow flowers are left to grow long in the summer to benefit the insects and wildlife in the cemetery. It’s very good that these old graves are now habitats for nature and not sterile lawn. I live round here and it really is amazing how much nature is inside this urban area. Interestingly, plants that people planted on the graves of their loved ones a hundred years ago come up again year after year. If they were ‘weed whacked’ then this wouldn’t happen. Sometimes it’s good to have a hands off approach and let nature do it’s thing. A difficult thing for some people to understand I suppose!
There is nothing like these cemeteries that make up the magnificent seven. They are extraordinary and you are so very fortunate to have them. Their history is forever.
Beautiful ! the monuments were created before all the technology we have now. this must have been back-breaking work! The Artistry on these tombs and headstones!
this place is so beautiful, love that it was being used as a recreational area where there were joggers and cyclists, the minimal landscaping with the tall grass and flowers is a beautiful look
Thankyou so much totally breathtaking - it's like a City in itself. I loved the squirrels they are like these friendly keepers of the Cemetery - reminded me of Nutkins and his friends from Peter Rabbit. Best wishes and good vibes from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺❤️🇬🇧☮️🙏🐨🦘
I find it extraordinary how much space and effort is given over to the dead in pretty much every country. Death is so utterly uniquely celebrated and yet in so many ways, it’s all the same and inevitable. I’m grateful for these quiet beautiful spaces as they evoke something irreverent and calm as well as mysterious too.
Liked this brompton cemetery and the catacombs (separate video) really creepy down there. Happy 2023 to you although you never showed your face! ❤ thanks!
Sweet little squrill. Not even afraid of you.That means you're a good person. The animals and babies know!!! Love and respect Tamsen Robert's in Riverside Cali
I am astonished, that there are bicycles and even dogs allowed on this cemetery! This is an absolute no-go on German cemeteries. I love animals, but let dogs sh..... into the bushes of a cemetery, maybe even on a grave that nobody tends anymore, where the headstone or the cross has fallen or sunken into the ground, this seems rather odd to me. The squirrels are really sweet, I would like to go there just to bring them nuts or something. The place in itself is quite remarkable with these lots of graves and crosses, and all of these differ from another, this was real art and beautiful to behold. Nowadays the graves nearly all look the same in one or the other way, a pity.
Perhaps H.G. Wells got the the Time Machine story idea from tomb story and Edgar Rice Burroughs John Carter of Mars from the tomb teleportation stories? Perhaps the lost key opens the tomb and turns on the time machine? 😁
I was nearby in Earl's Court for a summer in the early 90s. The crypts under the colonnades had been destroyed and pretty much ransacked. London was just beginning to invest in restoring this central location. I loved walking through this beautiful monument daily. I learned much about the people who rested there, largely in peace and quiet.
first i've heard the Egyptians and time travel ... interesting they 'lost' the key to that door, probably a good thing... you never know 😳... beautiful place, thank you 💖
Thank you so much, great as always ....This cemetery is fascinating and its the first I have heard about a time machine with the Egyptian writing, very interesting indeed. Its so big this cemetery yet so peaceful. And I love the precious Squirrels.
The squirrels will follow you around, and you can actually handfeed them. I met an old lady there once, years ago. She had bags of nuts, and seeds, and had a group of squirrels surrounding her, who she was hand feeding. She told me she had done it daily, for years.
I laughed when the guy said something, and you thought he said, "Hi Stumpy." He was weird! Love all of your videos! I am going back watching older ones. 👋
I tried to go today to Brompton Cemetery, unfortunately, the weather wasn't that good as I left home with just a T-shirt on me and when I went to Bond Street station to take the bus 74 that would take me to the cemetery, it was bloody windy and cold (no freezing but cold) and there was no sunshine so I gave up my trip to the cemetery but I will try again on Wednesday ........ I've been to Algate Cemetery, Edmonton Cemetery and the one by Stamford Hill (close to the Jewish area), they are interesting places, full of history and kind of sadness and loneliness.
this cemetery can look very strange on hot sunny days as it has been a gay cruising ground for many years very often bare chested muscle guys sun bathing on graves!
Soy la unica que le causa ansiedad no poder ver los nombres de las lapidas 😆. Excelente video, deseo que un futuro pueda ver toda esta belleza en persona.
06:31 - they filmed an episode of the Crown on Netflix, in this very spot recently. Season 5 episode 3 - if you forward to 44:28 - you can see you were stood in the exact spot the camera pans around. It looks like they placed a fake grave on the ground to film. I knew I recognised this spot as soon as I saw your video.
Apropos that Ms Pankhursts marker is brown. I hope the King's horse wasn't hurt in her death. Invest in a telescoping swiffer duster so you can clear the cobwebs before shoving your camera in for a view. Also you can look for a high power camping flashlight that is rechargeable online. I have a 2 million candle power flas....torch for such things!
It wasn’t Emmeline Pankhurst who stepped in front of the King’s horse. It was Emily Wilding Davison. Emmeline died in a nursing home in Hampstead. A far less traumatic end👍
I've said before, that if you want peace and quiet and a sence of historic atmos with unspoilt nature a graveyard is the place to go. Unless its next to a bleeding airport lol.
I am an Indian. It is beautiful. Every grave occupy more area. In lndia the area takes 6feet length width 3 feet. Please inform me which century they were buried. Rev P Muthunayagam
I am very surprised, you never mentioned Sir Frederick Thesiger 3rd Baron Chelmsford Zulu war. He is a Brompton cemetary resident. I was gutted you missed him out.
I thought the Tardis was the only time machine in Britain? Maybe the two are meeting up with Dr. Who! What a beautiful place to ride a bike. My husband and I both love to ride and that looks like a great place to do so. John Jackson was a bare fisted boxer. He had various athletes on the sides of his tomb which were removed.
It's true that the victorians didn't know what the hieroglyphics meant as there was no translation at the time. Hopefully it doesn't say anything rude, but I think it's just gibberish
I enjoy your videos, but I wish you'd share a little more information about the various graves you feature. Often you just give a partial name and quickly move on without so much as the date of death.
Doesnt the cemetery have a master list of everyone buried in it? If they do you then can do research and add that to your talk.. And doesnt the city take care of the cemetery?

Beautiful cemetery!✝️
Your appreciation of the squirrels is absolutely charming ❤
Big animal lover 😊
this place is so beautiful, love that it was being used as a recreational area where there were joggers and cyclists, the minimal landscaping with the tall grass and flowers is a beautiful look
Loved all these old Graves. Wish I could take a trip to London to walk around them and take a look around. Thank you for the tour. Love it
Maybe one day Joan. Thanks for watching x
Beautiful cemetery, thanks for the tour. See you on the next one. Hope you feel better soon. Take care, we need you!😊🥀🌻🌹💖
Hello Julie
Literally you did a ... "squirrel!" Sorry, had to. I'd have done the same. Hehe Lovely walk.
hahah I always do. Love them
What a beautiful cemetery, I could walk there everyday from Indiana USA

What gorgeous monuments. Thanks for sharing this beautiful cemetery.
I love the terrace above the catacombs.
It was a joy to walk around them, felt very peaceful
Another beautiful walk with the dead. Thank you 💛
Thank you too for watching 🙏
It's all so very beautiful! I could spends weeks there, taking photos of the statues and crosses.

Wow that’s a charming cemetery, I could walk around there for hours 👍 thanks ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
You're welcome Jim. I think I was there for 6 hours! ha

The grave at 13 mins belongs to a builder of the titanic

The old cemeteries are so interesting and full of history! 😊
What a charming accent in your speaking voice, could listen to you for hours.
Thanks Michael, it's from Yorkshire

These are beautiful grave stones.
The animals are tame because the dead doesn't bother them.....cute little squirrel.
Loved the birds chirping. Very peaceful. Thanks
So pieceful I love going around cemeterys I'm a mazed how big some head stones are some are awful. But I love to see them .
🧡🧡
THANKS AGAIN FOR A LOVELY TOUR! HAVE A GREAT DAY!✌😊🐿
Thanks Cynthia! Good to have you come along again
You just reminded me...I forgot the squirrel emoji in the title lol. Now done 😂
American here; i have actually visited this cemetery.
it would be cool if you did a collaboration with faces of the forgotten.
Theses head stones are amazing works of art. You picked a fantastic day for this video. The Victorians had real style.
Thank you so much for taking us around this lovely old cemetery ❤
first i've heard the Egyptians and time travel ... interesting
they 'lost' the key to that door, probably a good thing... you never know 😳... beautiful place, thank you 💖
Ann Pettitt: a woman who was a Great John Howard´s mother. I love John Howard´s life and his humanity labor for prisoners at XVIII century.
Thank you so much, great as always ....This cemetery is fascinating and its the first I have heard about a time machine with the Egyptian writing, very interesting indeed. Its so big this cemetery yet so peaceful. And I love the precious Squirrels.
It would cost a fortune to build those today .
How sad that Bonomi lost his first four children all within a week of each other from whooping cough. :-(
Such grief is unimaginable.
Yet again another “dead good walk” thank you I really enjoyed it. I love the title ‘’ Dead Good Walk” it always makes me smile 😊
The squirrels will follow you around, and you can actually handfeed them.

I think he was talking to the squirrel to be fair 🐿️ maybe that’s his nickname for the little guy??

Great video, nice bit of history too 😀
Hi Sarah, thank you very much, Glad you enjoyed it ✌️

Very interesting, thank
You!
I just subbed after coming across you on tiktok. Great videos, inspired me to do my own (hopefully soon)
Hello and welcome! You definitely should give it a go Susan
So Many Beautiful💀👻Resting Places; juSt Yards Away From Each Other! Nice!!
I've said before, that if you want peace and quiet and a sence of historic atmos with unspoilt nature a graveyard is the place to go. Unless its next to a bleeding airport lol.
I love the video great story sir thank you so much for the video
Very enjoyable video, thank you.
It's a shame the grounds are so overgrown, would look spectacular if the grass was cut.
Most welcome Ian, I think its usually pretty well maintained, must have caught them off guard ha
beautiful
They cememories do get tied up but at times left so wildlife nature have a place to live. 🌹
American cemeteries, most anyway, weed whack the tall grass and weeds around the tombstones. How come that's not done in such a beautiful place?
God, the noise at some of these Cemeteries. Not to mention the joggers. And they say rest in peace. It's even carved on some of the headstones R.I.P
Wish they would cut the grass alot more in graveyards and upkeep them better
Does no one keep it tidy, sad to see it like this🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿
🧡🧡
So peaseful !!💔💔💔💔💔💔
I am an Indian. It is beautiful. Every grave occupy more area. In lndia the area takes 6feet length width 3 feet.
Please inform me which century they were buried. Rev P Muthunayagam
Hi Reverend, approx. mid 1800s. Also 6feet here too
Great video! I'm living vicariously through you at the moment. Can anyone go on the tours? I'm planning a trip
Thats cool. Yep but check the website if you want to do the catacombs, its only 2/3 times a year
Great video 👍
Thanks for watching Ral 🙏
Yes
Still are traveling.
Hi, I love seeing your videos. May I know is this using GoPro ?
Beatrix Potters grave is there, too I think. And squirrels are everywhere ^^
I feel like youre gonna have to load up on peanuts for admission into the cemetery...lol
I did have some chilli coated ones but I didn't want to be cruel lol
I am very surprised, you never mentioned
Sir Frederick Thesiger
3rd Baron Chelmsford
Zulu war.
He is a Brompton cemetary resident.
I was gutted you missed him out.
I thought the Tardis was the only time machine in Britain? Maybe the two are meeting up with Dr. Who! What a beautiful place to ride a bike. My husband and I both love to ride and that looks like a great place to do so. John Jackson was a bare fisted boxer. He had various athletes on the sides of his tomb which were removed.
I went to West Brompton once. Well, sort of around the West Brompton/Fulham area. Saturday 1/12/2018 it was. Didn't go to the cemetery.
Ahhh shame Martin, maybe next time ?
🧡🧡
Is this near West Islington, London? That's where my Mom's family is from! Where they are buried, is anybodies guess!!
Wow I need to go there and Highgate
The squirrels love garlic flavour peanuts in shells btw
Great video 📹
Why isn’t the cemetery kept neat? That’s really sad it’s in such a grown up shape.
Peaceful ❤
Do they not take care of the weeds or tall grass? In America the cemetery’s are mowed and weed waked.
I'd love to know why myself
Bellissimo! Grazie ❤
Purtroppo l'erba non è tagliata come in cimiteri di Irlanda dove è tutto tagliato e curato
You are amazing 🎉😮😅
Your squirrels are so light grey. We have shiny black ones.
04:26 no egyptian hieroglyphics on the mausoleum door! None refer to the way the Egyptians wrote in the time of the pharaohs!!
It's true that the victorians didn't know what the hieroglyphics meant as there was no translation at the time. Hopefully it doesn't say anything rude, but I think it's just gibberish
can u do the knight of the round table graves
I can do temple church in London? Thats where the knights templar are buried
Me gusta mucho la historia de esta tumba,algún dia me gustaría conocerla ademas es de estilo egipcio y a mie gusta mucho la historia de egipto
Muy Lindos tus cementerios Quisiera Poder Conocerlos. Pero estoy muy Lejos😎✌
New sub here i also do graveyard walks in gibraltar 😉

Welcome aboard! Be my guest, you'll be busy though 😂 Thanks for subbing, I just returned the favour ✌️
@@deadgoodwalks Awww thanks! Im gonna be busy just trying to watch some of your vids first...lol
Hello you pass too quickly in front of beautiful statues ..! It's frustrating.! We don't have time to see.!!😮
I enjoy your videos, but I wish you'd share a little more information about the various graves you feature. Often you just give a partial name and quickly move on without so much as the date of death.

So sad that people dont come together to cut the grass at these cemeteries
Doesnt the cemetery have a master list of everyone buried in it? If they do you then can do research and add that to your talk.. And doesnt the city take care of the cemetery?
Was this cemetery used in one of the Sherlock Holmes movies with Robert Downey Jr?
'squirrel!' literally....
I guess a cemetery is as good a place as any to have a nice jog. 7:00
