We go three places around London on our last field trip. First, we head off to Golders Green Crematorium. Among other famous resident ashes are those of Bram Stoker, author of
Dracula. Sigmund Freud's ashes are there as well.
Second, we go to Highgate Cemetery, one of the most famous Vixtorian Period garden cemeteries in London. It is the inspiration for the cemetery
in Dracula. It was virtually abandoned during part of the 20th century and is now preserved in a semi-overgrown state. In the newer, Eastern part is the famous grave of Karl Marx.
One of the tombs in Highgate is the grave of the founder of the first circus in England. The statue is of Bruno the star attraction.
Who would guess that this nice modern plaza was once the site of one of Jack the Ripper's famous crimes? It's on the nighttime Jack the Ripper walking tour.
