A BROMPTON CEMETERY WALKING TOUR (approximately 1 hour)
This walk starts outside the gates of Brompton Cemetery at the North Lodge Entrance on Old Brompton Road and ends at Café North Lodge. Wander through the cemetery at will using the grave index to help find your way. To start the tour, activate the blue square by walking into it – or, for remote listeners, by dragging and dropping the remote listener icon.
Some of the graves featured in this tour are off the paths. For those listening in person who want to get close to these graves, navigate using your geolocation and the grave number. It may also help to look at the images in the pop-ups, as grave locations are approximate. When going off the path, please be careful as the terrain is uneven. Also good to know – you can pause your audio at any time.
