Thanks, glad you liked it! I keep meaning to have a look around Highgate - apparently Karl Marx's tomb is worth seeing.

Apologies for the late response to your comment, btw. :/

Highgate cemetary is looking good on you tube. I spent my teenage years dossing around there, it was always great fun. love that cemetary. Its one place i would really like to go back to and visit. Although i grew up in holloway islington, i had no idea Bunhill cemetary exsisted.

Bunhill Fields is quite easy to miss, it's just next door to the Honourable Artillery Company Depot on City Road. I don't know Holloway too well, tho ... I'm from Edmonton myself !! :o)

Very enjoyable. My great grandfather many times, Issac Scarbrough died 1560 and buried in Bunhill Fields. Thank you for sharing.

I've got ideas for a few more, but it's too cold and wet for filming at the moment - maybe in the new year!

Ya know, Mr. Dafoe is often credited with being the first writer in English to write a prose work in the first-person narrative style, which would be, of course, The Life and Strange, Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe of York, Mariner.

Anyhow, delb, I really like these videos around London that you've done, they're great. Any chance of anymore?

OK, thanks.

Thanks, I didn't know that.
