Andrius BaranauskasDecember 20, 2014Squirrels. Like tons of them. Super cute. Super aggressive. Don't forget to bring some nuts, otherwise you may not make it out alive.
Chris HainesFebruary 2, 2015A nice place for a quiet walk on a sunny afternoon. You can also walk directly through it. There are benches to sit dotted about.- Andy HitchingsJuly 17, 2013In the summer, Bunhill Fields is great - so many cute grey squirrels running around. Superb place to get some fresh air during lunch.
Nash NaniJune 10, 2016Hunt for the Daniel Defoe grave, right next to the memorial plaque for William Blake. Be inspired on a nearby park bench while you eat your lunch
Good place to have lunch in the summer, if you can get a bunch, and don't mind the corpses.
Very interesting to see the way the footpath stones have worn under millions of footsteps.- Molotov CupcakeApril 29, 2020Bekannte Gräber: John Bunyan ("Pilgerreise"), Daniel Defoe ("Robinson Crusoe"), William Blake ("Jerusalem"), George Fox, Theophilus Lindsey, Isaac Watts, Thomas Bayes
Martin TiedemannMay 21, 201219 September: Its name supposedly derived from 'bone-hill', four wild acres of a much larger graveyard remain, containing mostly burials from the 17th, 18th & 19th centuries, though originally Saxon.
Pretty cemetery - nice spot for an al fresco lunch - there are plenty of benches
ChaundraJune 18, 2014Join in a Quaker Meeting for Worship - 30 minutes of quiet reflection. 3rd Wednesday of the month at 12:45
Great oasis of tranquillity for lunch breaks away from the office
The trees covering the benches do a superb job on a rainy day.
In the summer the local kids hide behind the big tree and remove the coins when the tourists have gone
Daryl WJune 24, 2011Good place to enjoy a packed lunch on a sunny day, an oasis of quiet in the city.
- Put a penny on William Blake's grave - a longstanding tradition
Enjoy the lovely spring flowers growing between the grave stones.
Don't stop until you get to the Artillery Arms. You only get one life
- Molotov CupcakeApril 29, 2020Wird natürlich nicht mehr als Friedhof sondern als Park genutzt. Hat durch die alten Grabsteine (sind dünne Tafeln wie man Sie aus alten Grusel-Filmen kennt) eine einzigarte Atmosphäre.
- Molotov CupcakeApril 29, 2020Auch auf dem Gehweg sind Namen und Daten eingeschrieben. Sind das wirklich auch Grabsteine?
