Highgate
Introducing Highgate
Nestled between woods and parkland and perched atop a steep hill, Highgate has the feel of a village – not only in its winding lanes, but in the community noticeboards crammed full of events on almost every street corner. Drop in to one of the area’s many pubs for a lunchtime pint of craft beer or real ale, or pay a visit to Highgate Cemetery’s most famous resident: Karl Marx.
