Historic, peaceful, a reminder that death is not to be feared or avoided, just another part of life. Our guide, Julia Johnson, was knowledgeable and personable

Absolutely loved this, the weather was awful, we got soaked and frozen, but Peter (our guide) remained cheerful and informative.
If like us you love history and information this is for you..
It’s off the beaten track so plan your journey and expect this to take most of your day from central London, there’s a cafe inside the West side and plenty 10mins walk away.
You are also a short walking distance to Hamstead Heath.
My son was happy to see Michael Faraday resting place, as an engineer with a passion for science and acoustics.
There is no concessions and I would say you need good mobility as there are some unsteady areas both side of the cemetery.

A fascinating place to visit, and our guide Liz was excellent and very knowledgeable. Our visit was mostly in the West side and I definitely want to repeat it on the East side. So much to see and to learn about.

Took a tour with John who was so knowledgeable and happy to incorporate specific graves that interested us. Very interesting and plenty of time to explore this wonderful example of a Victorian cemetery. Really recommend a visit.

Joe the tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and exciting during our visit. Wonderful experience.
Touched on a lot of information that we wouldn't have known, and areas we wouldn't have been able to access, if we didn't have the tour.

Excellent, very informative tour with Nicola. Lots to think about when looking at graves and memorials. So once the guided tour was finished, had to go for a wider look at both the West and East side of the cemetery.

Very interesting tour. Our guide was Richard, and he apparently knows the cemetery and its history by heart. Told us many interesting facts about the graves, the people buried there, history of the place and history in general. I love that he included the Lost Girls in the tour and allowed us to explore the catacombs.
Several other reviews complain about how difficult it is to get to the graveyard. I disagree. When you book a tour, they send you a very detailed map with instructions how to walk to the gate and how much time to allow for getting there. The tickets for the cemetery and the tour are very reasonably priced, in fact I think they should charge more.

Sorry no. It’s just small pathways but if you need help with mobility one of the volunteers might take you in their golf cart

Pues es mejor sacarla por la web para la visita guiada porque tiene cupo limitado.los guías son voluntarios y muy entregados.no suspenden si llueve, o sea que es conveniente mirar las previsiones e ir preparado para la lluvia

How long do you reckon you need comfortably to look around Highgate cemetery?

The tour of the west side itself (which you shouldn’t miss) will take about 1.5 hours. Then your own viewing of the east side, which is just as big, is of course up to you. I’d say at least hour, depending on how you usually contemplate yourself through cemeteries. And if you are tubing it, you’ll need to walk up a fairly hefty hill. It isn’t super far, but will take you 15-20 minutes to walk. And then a lovely 10 minute stroll through a park at the top just to get to the cemetery gates. Driving of course will be different. But in foot, if you through in a coffee or a beer into your post-itinerary it’ll take you even longer. First tour on Sat was 10 am if I remember correctly and I wasn’t back at the tube station till 1:30. All being said, if you have the time, absolutely do it. It is a fascinating look at Victorian stones, and our tour guide was SUPER informative. Hope that is helpful. Cheers.

I am trying to decide whether to book the 11am tour or the 1:45pm tour. How long did you spend there? The sun sets at 4:30pm when we will be going in January and I want to make sure we have enough time?

I would book the earlier tour - then you will have lots of time to explore the East Cemetery too!

Hi. I booked an evening guided tour for the West Cemetery, I know it takes about 70 minutes. Since I’d like to visit the East Cemetery as well first, could you please tell me how long it takes to have a walk around the East side?
I know it depends on you, but just to have an idea?
Thanks a lot!

You can easily cover the east side in 30-45 minutes, it is a lot smaller and more modern. There are some iconic graves of importance, but so much of an architectural significance. There is a very useful map at the gate showing the historical people buried there.

The cemetery is divided into East and West sections. The East section is open to the public, but also offers occasional guided tours. The West section is ONLY open via a guided tour conducted by an official Highgate volunteer. You can book these tours via the website or at the onsite ticket office. We took the West section guided tour and it's definitely worth the time and cost.

My Great Grandmother is buried in the East Cemetery, will I have to pay for 4 of us to pay our respect.

I believe so, though if you speak to someone at the gate, I would imagine they'd be accommodating. The price to ender the East side is around 4-8 pounds, from what I recall.

I will be going on the guided tour in the morning and having a look around the other cemetery in the afternoon. Is there somewhere handy to get a cup of tea and a sandwich?
Thanks!

Hello
Although there is often (usually weekends) a coffee cart outside the cemetery, we would recommend that you go up to Highgate Village, or down to the bottom of Swains Lane (about 10 minutes either way), where there are numerous and good options for eating and drinking.
