For the first time since the 1970s, Highgate West Cemetery has, since Saturday 11th July, opened for free roaming rather than guided tours, which enabled me to explore more of the paths which the tours don't cover. This monument reminds me of the Eleanor Cross which stands outside Charing Cross station. Looking southwest.
