Highgate Cemetery - Filming Locations and Famous Graves 4K

[@joiedevivre2005]

I love how European cemeteries allow the greenery to envelope the graves, almost like the dead are being embraced by nature. So much more preferable than the overly manicured memorial parks here in the US (imho). That's probably why I love the cemeteries in my beloved New Orleans so much. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@zaftra]

I think its more the owners or relatives should tend to them.

[@peterbenson2185]

@@zaftra The problem being that some of those graves are over 200 years old .... You would be hard pushed to find a living direct decendant in modern London unfortunately. That being said, I would class New Orleans "Old Number 1 " as one of the most fascinating gravesites in the world alongside Highgate, and it's a very well kept site. For sheer breathtaking size, the WW1 and WW2 graves in France are unfortunately mind blowing. As is Arlington.

[@zaftra]

@@peterbenson2185 I know the reason for it, but it's not just old ones. during my genealogy it was difficult to find graves from the 1800's; they were either just grass or cremation plots. I understand the cremation plots, and removing dangerous or weathered ones, but any other is just criminal to me.

[@leoniesableblanc]

I live in UK next to an old cemetery and I have to persuade them to mow the grass every now and again or else the graves disappear!

[@TheAngryAustrian]

Not all european cemeteries, most in austria are trimmed and cut and if your family fails to renew your grave after a certain amount of years, you get chucked into a mass grave

[@daviddale199]

I still can’t believe it when my wife shouted “hey, look who it is” and there were the grim life standing right behind us in the queue. They were the nicest people you could meet. Let us have our picture with them and wrote us a little message with autographs which both are now framed and on our wall. All the best GL, hope you enjoy the rest of your trip.

[@ShawnaDeStefano]

Oh man. That's sooo cool. Thanks for sharing that❤

The fondness, sweetness, and respect that Jessica showed at Bob Hoskins grave made me tear up a little. The whole video was very respectful.

I went to Highgate for the first time a couple of weeks ago, and I can confirm that the tour and the catacombs are 100% worth it. Such a beautiful graveyard. And Highgate village is a super fancy part of London too - well worth a visit!

[@mesapysch]

Very somber but yet inspiring. In Philadelphia, I lived near a very old historic cemetery. It had not be funded for decades and the trees literally pushed through the caskets, and pushed the remains out of the ground. To see human bones around the gravesite is something you never forget. It has since been restored, the graves in the overgrown section were moved and it was deemed a registered historic landmark. It's called Greenwood Cemetery.

[@Pineappleparty]

The dedication to getting the most accurate angles as possible is why I love watching these videos.

[@ryankarsten8912]

man, Bob Hoskins played Smee in "Hook " I love that movie. When Jessica touches his gravestone I can feel his presence. Such a great actor along with Robin Williams as Pan. Two great actors we all lost in this century.

[@lifewriter7455]

20:35 Imagine having a huge dog like that, resting on your grave, always looking after you, being a true friend forever. Makes me wanna cry. Actually I'm crying right now. So beautiful. And sad. It's absolutely amazing. London's the best. 😎🖤👍

[@michelehood8837]

Yep - this is literally on my list of must-sees on my next trip to London ❤ So spooky and atmospheric - truly like you’ve stepped into Victorian and Edwardian England. I think that Lucy in “Bram Stoker’s Dracula” was supposed to be buried there.

[@cq9882]

You won’t regret it, a life changing experience 🪦

[@andygeorge7318]

Brompton Cemetery is equally as beautiful. Set in Chelsea, it’s such quiet oasis. Not many famous people buried there but a great filming location from MI, Sherlock Holmes, Johnny English, Goldeneye and Finding Neverland.

[@ironcub1819]

Your UK tour videos have been outstanding. So informative, creative and the places are fascinating. Wonderful job and so glad your enjoying our tiny island

[@ChristinaLMason]

The natural greenery and the amount of stunning art in this cemetery is breathtaking! Lovely video!

[@Cortinaman63]

THANK YOU, for remembering Actor Ian Holm, I had the pleasure of working with him on a Production, that we were acting in, back in 1988, together with Amanda Donohoe , he was a very fine Actor, and a lovely man to talk to. I used to live quite near Highgate , and wander it in the days it was free to go in, all overgrown, nice to see it cleaned up, but it seemed more creepy when left to nature. back then, And thanks for coming to the UK, hope you love it as much as I and everyone else adores your Channel. Best wishes for a Happy Halloween.

[@SomeRandomBod]

I love that u went to see Bob, he was a national treasure. Highgate is such a beautiful place, all of the magnificent seven are.

Highgate cemetary is one of the coolest spots in London. I love the parakeets calling in the background of this film.

[@bootsandgypsy]

This video was like walking thru a fairytale with you guys! Absolutely stunning! I play the piano, and have a grand, but I’ve never seen one in a cemetery…too cool!! You guys are the best! The opening shot with Jessica walking is very pretty, she fits in so perfectly with her hair! 🎃💀💚

[@Nemie125]

I’ve been watching you both for a number of years now and am very excited to see you have to come to visit the UK, and Highgate Cemetery in particular! You filmed it so beautifully, as always. I’ve spent a fair bit of time in the cemetery over the years - my great-grandparents are buried in the east cemetery. In all the time I’ve spent there, I’ve had just one strange thing happen. Late one night, my flatmate and I were walking down Swains Lane - the steep road that runs between both cemeteries. It was midnight and we’d been at a pub - I was just twenty at the time. I happened to have my camera on me that night (this was back in the 90’s before smartphones) and when we got to the west gates, we thought it would be cool to have a picture taken standing in front of them. I went and stood right up against the gates while my friend was holding the camera. Suddenly, two guys appeared behind me on the other side of the gates. It was dark, of course, but I could see the one nearest me was wearing what looked to be a tweed jacket that looked worse for wear. The other guy seemed similarly dressed. They both wrapped their hands around the bars of the gate and pressed their heads against the bars before saying, “Don’t worry - we’re not going to molest you.”. I instructed my friend to quickly take the picture, which they posed for alongside me. We both ran down Swains Lane at tremendous speed, terrified! Of course, they could have been pranksters/homeless/whatever but the strange thing is, when the picture was later developed, they don’t appear on it. I’ve since scanned the picture, enhanced it etc. and there is nobody there except me, but we both saw them. Anyway, I hope you both have a lovely time in the UK and I look forward to watching more of your adventures.

[@neallucas9680]

I'll try not to be a chatterbox here, but as a Brit who has spent most of my life, well, the whole 'work, work, work' thing. You guys have really inspired me to get out and see my own backyard, so much so that I'll be on the Catacombs tour at Highgate Cemetery later this month. Thank you for giving me that inspiration and making me realise how awesome my Country is, I've always been fixated by Hollywood which is how I found you all. Two suggestions: IMAX cinema, Waterloo (biggest screen in the UK and maybe Europe) & The Cinema Museum, near Elephant & Castle. The Cinema Museum will be showing Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell (Hammer Horror, 1974) in 16mm on the 22nd of October with a live conversation with Madeline Smith. An awesome event for anyone that reads this who may be able to go.

[@grimmlifecollective]

Thank you for the heads up…and I am happy we can be of some inspiration. Truly is the best compliment.

Cool (ish) facts about the three most famous horror actors of the 1950s, 60s, 70s. Vincent Price, birthday 27th May. Christopher Lee, birthday 27th May. Peter Cushing, birthday 26th May. Think there are a couple of films which have all three actors in from the early 70s.

Another noteworthy grave, difficult to find if you don't know his birth name is that of George Orwell. You can find his resting place in All Saints church graveyard in Sutton Courtenay. People leave coins on his tombstone. As a fan of his writing I was surprised ow moved I was visiting it this year. Great series Mr & Mrs Grimm.

An excellent video as always, really enjoyed it guys! Highgate is such an incredibly gothic, ornate and wonderfully atmospheric cemetery, you can almost feel ghosts, and spirits all over the place. Another great cemetery well worth visiting, with a Vincent Price connection is Kensal Green, in NW London. Major scenes from the classic "Theatre Of Blood" were shot there. I love all the brilliant London locations used for that movie, and they're all easily found around the city. Happy Halloween guys, enjoy your trip!
