One of The Suffragettes(wich you might have heard of because of the Bowie song) is buried here.I used to go here to relax and read often.
Brompton Cemetery is a cemetery located in
Earl's Court, a part of the
Borough of Kensington & Chelsea in west London, England. It is managed by the
Royal Parks of London.
While the cemetery is still open for occasional new burials, today more people use it as a delightful public park (and a notorious homosexual meeting place) than as a place for mourning the dead. It has featured in a number of films, including "
The Wisdom of Crocodiles" (starring
Jude Law), "
Crush" (
Imelda Staunton and
Andie MacDowell) and "
Johnny English" (starring
Rowan Atkinson); as well as being used as a location by photographers such as
Bruce Weber (see "The Chop Suey Club"). Brompton Cemetery is now administered by the
Royal Parks agency.
