Sinead, you have a gentle calmness about you which makes watching your videos a delight.
Thanks again for watching! We agree wholeheartedly. If you know of anyone else who might also enjoy these videos, please share us with them. We would really appreciate that! Thank you.
What a fabulous compliment
Thanks for watching
Sinead
@@FreeToursbyFootLondon Sinead should do audiobooks.
@@EnglishVirgo wow never thought of that wouldn’t even know how to go about it Stephanie but thank you sincerely
Sinead
@@leary210275 I wouldn't know either, but you have a voice that is comforting.
Some folks may think it odd, but I enjoy going around grave yards/places of rest. I find it quite peaceful, yet sometimes sad, when I see graves neglected and falling into disrepair.
Not odd at all, Jilly. Hope that you enjoyed the tour.
Jilly same as me I'm a bit addicted to cemeterys anywhere there Is a headstone to read
Jilly I'm from Cornwall and a gang of us are restoring a victorian cemetery 1800s graves we have found loads of history
Not at all. I live very near the cemetery where Shirley Temple and Steve Jobs are buried. I sometimes go there just for the peace and quiet. I always think that perhaps these people find the peace in death that they never had in life.
My grandparents are buried in an old cemetery and it is sad that some of them have fallen into disrepair. I watch to make sure that theirs doesn't go that way.
I don't think it's odd my son died at 8.5years old. I spend a lot of time at his grave it is very peaceful there several civil war soldiers buried nearby sometimes I just read there they are special places!!
Sinead, you are a walking historical encyclopedia.
Thanks for the trip!
Thanks again for watching, Jeffrey! If you know of anyone else who might also enjoy these videos, please share us with them. We would really appreciate that! Thank you.

So glad I found this channel, it’s now a favorite!🙌🏽Sinead is a gem💖
She is wonderful.
Loving her x
She's great!
Thank you all sincerely I’m actually blushing
Sinead
Me too.

Watching from Florida, U.S.A❤️
It’s amazing how these crypts appear to have the original doors and hardware.
They sure are beautiful.
Stunning place Bill
Hope you get to see it in person someday

I love this channel, Arthur Dark and his Hollywood Graveyard, and Faces of the Forgotten.
Will check this out
Thank you
Sinead
It is so beautifully maintained. May they Rest In Peace. My mother and father built a home next to a small and very old cemetery. A Halloween interview by a local news station quoted my mother as saying she was not afraid of ghosts. She had lived there about 40 years at the time. A better Quote was , “They are peaceful neighbors”.
That was responsible and respectable of you, regarding George's grave with his mother, although something tells me George would of been, ok with it. As a teenager I've always been fascinated with graveyards and tbh, I was told by somebody that there was something wrong with me 😞 going by the number of views you have so far, clearly there are a lot of people, with something wrong with them 😉
Absolutely nothing wrong with you or anyone who is interested in graveyards. They are very interesting.
Cemeteries are fascinating, esp. from a genealogical perspective. I've done family research in a few cemeteries near where I live in Central NY. It would be nice if Highgate Cemetery had an online database where we could look up the names of whoever is buried there. I wonder if any of my relatives are interred at Highgate. The Manwarings are from England.
Re. George Michael, I can understand why his family w/b concerned about his grave being overrun by fans. There's nothing wrong with visiting and saying prayers but I would be concerned if fans kept leaving mementos, flowers, etc. much like they did at his home.
That s/b left up to his family, who could always move his grave and that of his mother & sister Melanie to a secure mausoleum.
I heard that his dogs are buried in that plot,
I noticed that you went by it, Sinead. It's in a nice, quiet and beautiful location.
.. It's understandable many people associate graveyards with (perhaps personal) pain and grief alone and are unable to grasp how someone else could feel at peace walking there.. I'm in your corner though I've gone there once in a while just to reflect on existence and find the really old graves from before the 1900's fascinating as well..
Your find a lot of people are fascinating with them 🌹🙏
Theres nothing wrong with you. Death is just apart of life and it cant just be avoided or swept under the rug.
I have family that i buried just last year and go there all the time to visit and i think my biggest concern is "are they taking care of everything around here?" and "Are people being respectful?" and thats about it. I love to meander through cemeteries as well and for my brithday during lock downs i drove my kids and husband to westwood memorial to visit Marilyn Monroe! and it was AWESOME!!! Some many other famous people buried there too! if you get a chance definitely go out there as see it!
I plan on going back to visit hollywood forever where theres a ton more famous people from the golden era! ; )
Honestly has become one of my favourite channels.
This makes me so happy
Thank you
Sinead
I applaud your sensibility and the respect you have paid to the persons who are interred in this cemetery. My grandmother and her parents were volunteer caretakers of the small cemetery directly next door to the home in grew up in. A large cemetery is directly across the street. So I was brought up with a wider appreciation and understanding of cemeteries. I have always considered them as beautiful places. The flowers, the plantings, and of course the stones. So very varied, and interesting. Thank you for your sensitivity and care in bringing this glimpse of 2 beautiful Victorian London cemetaries.
This cemetery looks enchanting! It must be the most beautiful cemetery I have ever seen. Thank you very much for bringing it to me.

@@FreeToursbyFootLondon Oh great! I will certainly do that. Thank you.
@@FreeToursbyFootLondon wish videos had written commentary being hard of hearing can only read comments
@@barbaraclayton2171 They do. Please make sure that you have captions (CC) set to on.
And now we see Karl Marx’s grave….oh great, finally, I’ve had to piss for the last hour!
This is a question for Sinead. If one was in London and wanted to hire you for a day or two to hit all the high points of London, how much would you charge as a private hire tour guide? Really and truly when the lovely Sinead is giving these walking tours, it feels as though she is speaking directly to you. Free Tours by Foot - London, you have found a real gem. From her presentation to that wonderful lilting accent, you couldn’t have found a better person to be a spokesperson for your organization. I will continue to watch as long as she continues to work for you. You truly are a blessing, Sinead and you make not being able to travel a bit more bearable.
This has to be one of the greatest compliments I have ever received
Sincerely grateful for your kind words and for watching
I will post a link to my private tour page tomorrow
In the meantime trying to calm my blushing
Thank you again , compliments like these make my job worthwhile
Sinead 😘
@Sinead. We were about to cut you loose till this comment came in :)

@@FreeToursbyFootLondon LoL 😂 😋

Lets give sinead a nice cup of coffee !🍵
Thank you Giovanni
Sinead
I saw an orb coming from the grave on the left at 44 minutes and 18 seconds exactly on this film while you were in the cemetery. Please keep up the good work you’re the best!
Thank you for this wonderful comment
Sinead
There should be gates locked at night on all cemetaries
This was such a "hauntingly" beautiful tour! Would love more spooky tours as we head into fall. Sinead, you got me through Covid. I would snuggle up on my couch with a blanket, turn on a walking tour, sleep and dream about walking through London! Thank you and bless you! Your videos mean more than you know. I can't wait to come visit and tour in-person!
Welcome aboard! Glad we could be of service in these challenging times. It's always an honour to bring a bit of London to you. Thanks for watching, Angelea, and for subscribing.

Wow!!! I have always wanted to go there. xxxx Thank you Sinead for taking us. From across the miles xx
My pleasure Eden hope you enjoyed it

I thought the most beautiful cemetery I've seen is in New Orleans. Who knew one home in England beats it hands down! Stunning! Thanks again for an amazing tour xx I bet it would look even better in autumn with all the reds on the trees

I really like the whispering on this tour and the sound of the gravel under your feet. Amazing info as well!
A little touch of ASMR :)
i'd never heard of you sinead, up until the other day, when i was just flicking through youtube, and just clicked onto your London tours, because i love london! And now, i'm hooked on your videos, you're fabulous! I'm now your number 1 fan.❣❣

The highgate cemetery in england has to be without a doubt one of the coolest , most breathtaking , visually stunning , scariest and most awesome graveyards I've ever seen in my entire life ever and it's in a bunch of my favorite british horror film's as well and we'll everybody knows and if they don't the british make the best horror film's ever period !!! I'm from the USA but I love ENGLAND !!!

OH MY! 😳
You wouldn't if you lived here because it's no longer England!!!
Lost our identity a few years ago as we are a small island compared to the USA & many many other country's.....Take in the 3rd world, become a 3rd world country which WE now are! 😡
So respectful and sweet of you regarding George Michael. Heather from Eastenders would like to know if she was still with us.
Thank you for all the interesting tours. I hope to visit London again when the pandemic is over, in the meanwhile, I'm watching these!
11:30 I'm amazed by this place. It's like the wealthy have gotten their own little houses on a street full of neighbours even after death!
Even in the after life they have mansions
Thanks for watching

2.4.22 Sinead, thank you for a lovely video. On video timed at 8.48 is the grave of Professor Man Fong Mei, the founder of Acumedic Chinese Medicine on Camden High Street. I was a student in the very first set studying Traditional Chinese Medicine. Prof Mei was a very kind, generous, humourous tutor and well liked by all. Sinead, All blessings for a wonderful year.☘️
I sent you a coffee , everyone of you videos are amazing and iv learned so much thank you ❤️👏
As generous as ever thank you
Sinead
I’m so glad you went to Highgate. I mentioned it in a comment previously that it would be lovely to see a tour of the cemetery and maybe one of Hampstead as well. Sinead has a wonderful way of presenting and makes it so much more interesting and fascinating. So very natural and great to listen to.
Great great video.
Rod.
Hi Rod
We’re always listening may take a while but we always fulfil requests
Hope we exceeded your expectations
Sinead
Thanks for the idea!
Well done Sinead, a really informative and respectful tour. I did a tour there with a group of students from the Open University nearly 30 years ago. One of the students freaked out when a dove flew out of the mausoleums and brushed through her hair. The cemetery is a fantastic place to visit.
Thanks for your continued support, Vince! We also got a chuckle from your story :)
What a wonderful insight into a fantastic and historic cemetery, Sinead. Thank you.
Our pleasure as always.
I agree Declan...cheers from Donegal!
omg,I absolutely love the story about the lady walking her dog and seen someone floating,how spooky but yet fascinating
AMAZING! Would love to see London including Highgate cemetery. What peace it brings.
This video and Sinead's voice is so calming.
Delighted you enjoyed it
I visited Highgate in September of 2019 and found it absolutely amazing! Btw at 9:43 is where George Michael was laid to rest alongside his mother and sister. Rest Easy.
Good eye, John. Ditto that.
My absolute favorite channel on Utube. I love your tours as I think I've watched most 2 and 3 times. You are a joy my dear. I ll be leaving you a 20 spot on my benefits payday next week. Thank you so so much. Yes yes yes please more spooky historical anything and all that great enlightenment you can send our way.
Amazing compliment I’m truly flattered
Thank you so much
Sinead
It’s a beautiful Cemetery .Full of wonderful headstones.That’s why people are so drawn too these places .The quiet,peace and the beauty .A wonderful get away from busy life ..Thank you for the tour.Love n Light 🥰
Now that's an absolutely gorgeous Victorian cemetery 🪦 this gem is on my bucket list. You've introduced me to so many places and explained so much about England that I'm dying to go. 50,000 graves and 170,000 people buried there?! Impressive numbers and beauty in those designs.
This just came up my links and I must admit I am in love with the peace and serenity of this cemetery. The beautiful foliage gently hugging the gravestones is breath taking 💖 definitely a new fan of your channel ❤

Delighted your enjoying the videos

Stumbled across these walking tour sites the other day and am thoroughly enjoying them. To see everything literally from a walking point of view really makes it seem like we are walking the tour with you. And so much information is provided in such a conversational manner - the knowledge provided is amazing. Thank you so much!
Welcome to the channel, Lawrence!
Perfect rainy day creating the perfect atmosphere for a stroll through the cemetery. Its so lush with all the overgrowth and a bit spooky with its leaning headstones. I thoroughly enjoyed the tour and your commentary Sinead. Thankyou!
Thanks again for watching! If you know of anyone else who might also enjoy these videos, please share us with them. We would really appreciate that! Thank you.
If ever I get to visit London.....Highgate is a place I'd like to visit - one of so many places in the city ! I truly liked what your Mum said about living by a cemetery . I'd not be bothered to lived near one .

I bounce between South Carolina (in the US) and New Orleans as home. I watch the New Orleans tours to keep my homesickness at bay while I'm in South Carolina (& love that you included footage of Metarie Cemetery at the start of your tour). I have recently discovered Sinead & ADORE her tours. I've yet to visit Britain & Ireland but plan to (once the pandemic craziness is over). I love how wild and natural the cemeteries are in Britain (& Europe). I know it is harder to maintain the tombs when nature takes over, but it's so beautiful. I much prefer it to the artificially manicured cemeteries in the US.
Thanks again for watching both channels, Joy! If you know of anyone else who might also enjoy Sinead's videos, please share her with them. We would really appreciate that! Thank you.
I used to go to this cemetery in the evenings back in the mid 90s with a young lady......for reasons.......we were young and wanted well.....privacy. And we got tumbled by a group of yank ghost hunting tourists, I don't know who had the biggest shock me and my girlfriend or the tourists when we jumped up and run off.
So, you are the Highgate Vampire!
@@FreeToursbyFootLondon
Haha, no. Although a few tourists probably thought we were ghosts or something, but we were just naughty teenagers. I never seen anything strange or whatever but we were normally out of there by 10pm. It's a fascinating place. I moved to Swansea when I was 18 and haven't gone back since so it was cool seeing your tour video thank you. I need to go back there and take a look around for old times sake. This time I'll pay at the gate and go in properly though, instead of going in through the secret entrance we knew (which has probably been dealt with by now).
@@theantilifeequation8150You have my respect. You certainly know how to show a girl a good time! Others would have spent a good deal on a night out. With you she gets to see the local cemetery. Joking apart, I’m sure your evening out was extremely enjoyable.
There was something very calming and comforting about this video. The cemetery is quite beautiful. I loved your mothers comment. I will be saving this video to watch over and over again. Thank you so much for your time and energy.
I love old Graveyards full of History & Great Architecture.
Keep bringing on these cool videos.
That's the plan!

Suggestion for future video: London ghost tour with Sinead would be awesome!
such a beautiful, interesting place. thank you for showing us. another one Ive always wanted to see is Pierra La Chaise in Paris. Ive always wanted to see Jim Morrisons grave. So many cool people buried there.
Have been there too Rhonda you should try and get there it’s magnificent

Thank you Sinead! Love your work. A few years ago my mum got a call from the cemetery where her mum and dads cremated remains were and said that if you don’t pay a certain amount for 15 years they will be removed. So much for eternal resting in peace 😔
Afraid these rules apply to graves and Ashes burials. In England, we basically rent a plot for x number of years, then the Cemetery asks for a fee again. Sad but true, though I don't know if Burial places for other Religions are different to "Christian based" ones.
@@biddylisduff What if the family of someone who is buried there no longer exists? Who would pay that fee? That's not right.
Its done in the phillipines and in the US (new orleans ) i know thats praticed there !
@@dianamanwaring4794 If the fees are not paid, for one reason or another, the plaques or headstones are removed and stored elsewhere. They do not dig up the bodies, but the graves may be made deeper with the original inhabitant going further down and someone new buried on top.
Awesome Vampire story, great tour ! There are no words to describe the absolute stunning BEAUTY of this Cemetery.
I visited a few weeks ago when I was in London. Amazing. Such a special atmosphere, particularly in the west cemetery.
So glad that you were able to visit in person.
The oldest part was my favourite too
Thanks again for your loyal following

Hi Sinead, beautiful tour of Highgate. You may want to check out Faces of the Forgotten. The host is Ron and he is in the Chicagoland area in Illinois. He has done most of the cemeteries in our area . He usually has a focus on a particular story related to one of the graves but also wanders the cemetery showing the beautiful headstones. He donates the CZcams money to replacing gravestones and marking unmarked graves. He travels across the US to bring us interesting stories and plans to explore Highgate in the future. Thank you so much
Will definitely be checking this out
Thank you
Sinead
He has a great Channel. I love his way to tell Storys. Another great one is Hollywood Graveyard.
Ron and his channel FACES OF THE FORGOTTEN is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE CHANNEL on youtube and Facebook and instagram...I cant miss one of his videos !!! He is an awesome storyteller and he loves the stories of how folks had fear of being buried alive and the different ways they prevented it a long time ago...fascinating stories and wonderful he donates his earnings from channel and donations from public to replace or place gravestones so that the deceased is never forgotten
@@strabefie1977 I agree ..his are more like movies but good for info about celebs ...a fun one is Lamont from fascinating graveyard channel...he travels in his van across America too ..gives a different way to interest folks about the deceased stories
Thankyou for this tour Sinead you get the pitch exactly right in your tours & this 1 being no exception .... such respect particularly where George Michael was concerned your channel is so interesting 1 of the best on you tube 😁
She does pass by George Michael's grave in the video but just doesn't point it out, in case you are interested.
Thank you i did see it but was so discreet , didn't think it was appropriate to highlight it
Thanks for watching

Fantastic. So informative and entertaining, I love this channel and Sinead is such a brilliant guide that she leaves you feeling subconsciously that you were there with her.
Wow, thank you!

Our pleasure for sure.
I clicked as soon as I saw Highgate hoping you would go pay respects to Elizabeth for me until the day I can come across the large ocean to be there myself before it's too late.
It's so Wonderful to know such a Good soul as your's is there whispering in respect!
Elizabeth's story is tragic and pain filled indeed. What she endured modeling for that painting is absolutely heartbreaking. Let alone her marriage!

@@leary210275 No Ma'am, Thank You!!!
These are sacred spaces to me. There are 7 of them behind my house. Sadly, over time many souls are forgotten as stones wear away.
I encourage all who can to visit or get in touch with Cemetery Associations in their areas and volunteer to help identify the forgotten. To also make sure the war memorial markers are placed on the right graves. Many are not 😢 I'm pretty sure some of the plaques placed for Veterans of World War 1 accompanying stones for those not born until World War 2 and the like just aren't right.
The caretakers of the graveyards behind my house were totally unaware of two other graveyards way at the top of the hill back there in the woods 😢
Or how even in death there are separation fences and walls between the Irish cemetery, the Russian, the German Catholic and just plain forgotten Souls with no one to visit when all family then too pass on and names wear away.
And if you ever get the chance to come across the pond and visit Boston, Mother Goose has her own stone in the Old North Church but far better, 20 miles north is Sleepy Hollow in Concord Massachusetts.
Ralph Waldo Emerson's stone is a Giant Boulder up on Authors Ridge with his friends all close by. Henry David Thoreau, The Alcott family, Nathaniel Hawthorne and so many others :) Again, Thank You All for your Wonderful work! ✌ 🕊 ✌
Love this Cemetery, so beautiful and the trees that are so green stunning. Thank-you Sinade for showing us around.

"do you dig graves?"
"yeah. Yeah they're alright, yeah"
"I'm so glad. I think they're wonderful!"
Truly enjoyed this walk with you through one of the cemeteries that's on my To Visit list (pref while still alive ha) Came to London in 2019 and because of the philistines I travelled with couldn't make it here. This is nearly as good. Thank you xxx

Thank you so much for this tour. It's always been my dream to go there in person and you made me feel like I was there. Such a beautiful place. And Lost Boys was a favorite of mine growing up as well 🖤

Sinead is the only reason I watch these videos, her voice, her presence, so comforting. Incredible. And all the facts. MORE VIDEOS WITH SINEAD!
Have always meant to visit Highgate when holidaying in London. I never realised how huge it is. Thank you for such a marvellous vlog.

You do some wonderful tours Sinead, long may you continue to bring some of the wonders of these amazing Isles to us.
That's the plan!
Delighted to have the opportunity to do so
Thanks for watching
Sinead
Great tour. I am also fascinated by the many stories of the deceased. I then immerse myself in a completely different world of my own. I can't really explain what's happening to me to anyone, I just know that most other people don't feel the same way.
This is absolutely lovely! Thank you for taking us with you, its so beautiful! 💗💗

What a beautiful peaceful place,Once again another fantastic tour thank you.
Loved this and found it very interesting. Seems like a very peaceful place but I bet it would be pretty creepy looking at night! Thanks Sinead for another great tour.
i enjoyed this muchly! Mr. Karl Marx looks so much like my brother, and he agrees. i adore you darling and thank you so much for sharing
I love these videos. You can tell the amount of time and effort you put in. I love how respectful you are in this video. I find your voice so relaxing too!
The work is all worthwhile with amazing compliments like these
Thank you

I never got to see Highgate Cemetery despite wanting to very much. My husband wasn't interested and now we have all the time in the world, we live in Lincolnshire. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to see it virtually, Sinead.
My pleasure delighted we could bring it to you virtually

Being a former cemetery grounds-keeper (and grave-digger) I deeply appreciated you employing a low speaking tone whilst you walked about. Honouring the dead is virtuous. Prior to The Second World War, my grandmother would frequent Highgate cemetery to read, to compose poetry and to write in her diary. Years ago, my Gran told me, "There is only ONE kind of vampire -- the non-existent kind." Ha! By-the-bye, my favourite vampire film is, "Count Dracula" (BBC 1977). Louis Jordan portrayed Dracula. That film is the most-faithful adaptation of the novel by Bram Stoker. Many thanks Sinead, for this fascinating video. Take care dear and lovely lady. -- W
Wow Walter I’ll be you have some stories to tell
Thanks for your lovely comments
Sinead
@@leary210275 -- I'm pondering a rewrite of my short story based on a "ghost" of a WWI British pilot. My Gran informed me that pilot was buried somewhere in Highgate cemetery. Again, many thanks for your amazing walking tour of Highgate cemetery. All of your videos are so very well-done. Best/cheers -- W
In all my years living in London, I have never visited Highgate Cemetery. It's on the list! My brother found a grave there that the people looking after it didn't know was there - Adam Worth, the famous Victorian criminal. Great Vid!
Thank you for that addition.
Thank you, Sinead. I always learn so much from your tours. In this one, I particularly enjoyed the vampire stories. 😮
Another great tour. I had wanted to take in Highgate when travelling around the UK in 2019. Sadly I ran out of time. So this virtual tour has been of particular interest. I really do appreciate your efforts. All the best and stay safe out there.
Thank you so much for that Sinead, I too love graveyards, like you find them so peaceful, tranquil, not at all frightening. Although saying that, I wouldn't want to be there at night, with the Vampire about.
The vampire is a myth
It was " Laudanum" and Ophelia was painted by John Everett Millais. Enjoyed the tour very much. Thank you.

Awesome video tour! Love all the beautiful Victorian gothic headstones, monuments, and mausoleums! Cool that you got to see Malcolm McLaren's grave! Hope to visit this cemetery someday!
We hope you can too. We may very well do another video of it in the future, so stay tuned.
It's magical there hope you get to see it in person
Thanks for watching

Thank you Sinead. Such a beautiful cemetery. I have walked through it too.
Another incredible tour. Thank you Sinead! This is the most beautiful cemetery I’ve ever seen. I consider myself a Sinead groupie. I must agree that Bram Stokers Dracula is an amazing book. One of my favorites.

@@FreeToursbyFootLondon thank you
Visited there 30 yrs ago. The gate keeper took us around and introduced us to Nero, the cemetery cat. Rodent control officer. Told us of the WWII Nazi plane crash that churned up a section of graves, the Pinewood studio used the cemetery to film a few of the Hammer Dracula files in the area.
Also told us about tombs that should stay sealed do to the interred having had Cholera and are still contagious.
Me again. Just remembered the reason for the abandonment of the cemetery was the death of a generation of young men in WWI. With their deaths entire families had no son to carry on the family name.
I knew I liked you.. and now I know why! Anne Rice, The Lost Boys, vampires and then you went to Malcolm’s grave!
I took the tour of Highgate a few years back and loved it! Thanks for your tour, I loved seeing your perspective of the beautiful, tranquil setting. Love your videos!
Thanks again for watching! If you know of anyone else who might also enjoy Sinead's videos, please share her with them. We would really appreciate that! Thank you.
Cynthia we are kindred spirits
