One of Victorian London’s ‘Magnificent Seven’ cemeteries, Brompton opened in 1840 and holds around 200,000 burials beneath a colonnaded avenue leading to a domed chapel modelled on St Peter’s in Rome. Suffragette leader Emmeline Pankhurst and cholera investigator John Snow are both buried here. Now run by the Royal Parks, it’s free to wander any day, with a café and information centre at the north end and a Green Flag for its wildlife-rich meadows. West Brompton station is right by the gates.
