Dear Loren,
I lighted upon your fascinating website & wondered if you had ever had the opportunity ( when in London) to visit Ladywell & Brockley Cemetery-SE London? Although not one of the Magnificent 7 cemeteries of London , it is unusual in having 2 seperate cemeteries on one site & does contain the final resting place of many illustrious writers, poets , reformers and anarchists! . Do take a look at the Foblc website sometime & maybe call in when next in town!
Regards
Mike Guilfoyle

Thanks, Mike! I wasn’t familiar with the cemetery, but I look forward to checking it out. It sounds like a gem.
This is great – thanks! I just stumbled upon your site while researching Mission Dolores for a friend. I’ve visited 28 of your places of the week and hoping to add a couple more on an upcoming trip to Tokyo! For just one day on a recent trip to the UK I missed a tour of another south London cemetery, Nunhead (which I have been to but would enjoy a tour of) – another to add to your list if you plan to visit Ladywell & Brockley, which I will now add to my list for my next London trip. I often visit cemeteries in my travels (favorites include La Recoleta in Buenos Aires and Cimitero Monumentale in Milan, Italy.
Happy Travels!

I haven’t been to Nunhead yet, either, but one of my readers sent me their calendar last December and it looks like a lovely place.
I haven’t been anywhere in South America yet, but Recoleta is on my list of Cemeteries of the Week for the coming year. Do you know of a good book about it?
Unfortunately I do not. Last year I visited a cemetery in Tomar, Portugal, that reminded me a lot of La Recoleta. (18 November section on this page)

In both places not all of the mausoleums are well-maintained, and it’s a big spooky because you really can just reach in and touch the coffins. Unfortunately there is deterioration and sometimes vandalism. Without a friends program like those that have been successful in the UK I’m afraid there will just be more damage.
I’ll look forward to your visit next year!
