Crossbones Graveyard

A really interesting London spot for those searching for something a little bit different on their next trip or wander around the city. Situated near to the famous Borough Market, Crossbones Graveyard is a memorial for those who die and are deemed to be ‘outside’ of society. Historically this is an area where prostitutes were buried but it has since evolved into a memorial area for both past and present losses; ribbons, photos, and items adorn the gates to the land plot, allowing people to show their respect and take a moment to consider those who can be forgotten. The history is just as fascinating as the future of this land as there are great discussions and choices as to how this land should be used and there is currently a petition running to keep the land as a memorial and to create a garden of remembrance on the site.
Worth a visit or quick read up about on the website — very much the hidden history of London.
