Bunhill Fields Burial Ground - (Near City of London, london)

5 /5 Vertigo Jon: A peaceful place for a Protestant or Puritan pilgrim to ponder the providence of God, and to praise Him for the powerful ministries of some of His people of times past.

5 /5 Nicholas Hampton: In the heat of summer quiet and cool. Look down at your feet you might be standing on words. In winter provides space for solace and thought. Early mornings shimmer with a sense of many lives have lived and are waiting. Movement at twilight in the rain. London in essence.

4 /5 dave p: This is a fascinating place to walk through when you have some time to spare. You have a real sense of history when looking at the ages of some of the gravestones. Obviously, there are some very famous people buried here along with many complete unknowns, but it is still a great cemetery to visit.

5 /5 Daniel David: Of the historic cemeteries in London, Bunhill is one of the smallest. Situated a short walk from Old Street tube station on Bunhill Row the cemetery is combined with a green space and gardens. Amongst the notable graves are William Blake, Daniel Defoe and John Bunyan. Although the cemetery is small, the historical value should not be underestimated.

4 /5 Keith Hainge: An interesting place to visit at any time of year. Shady & leafy in the Summer & atmospheric in Autumn & Winter as the leaves fall & a low sun lights up the gravestones & tombs & the bare limbs of the trees & the iron railings cast shadows. Great place for some creative photography if you are so inclined. Unless you are attending a guided tour there are large sections of the burial ground that are non accessible , being railed off. One can walk straight through via the central path from City Rd. to Bunhill Row or vice versa . There is an area of park to one side with a central lawn area & planted with shrubs & furnished with benches to sit on. One tomb that you can get to is that of John Bunyan which stands alone on an open , paved area. No burials have taken place here since 1854 . It is thought likely that there has been a burial site here for about a 1,000 years . In latter times it became a place where non conformists were interred & as well as John Bunyan other famous people buried here include Daniel Defoe , William Blake & John Milton. If you have time , pay a visit to the home & Chapel of John Wesley just opposite the City Rd. entrance. Another small point of interest right across from the Bunhill Row entrance is Braithwaite House , a modern block of flats where the Kray twins were both arrested for murders they had committed. Their mother lived here.
