"West Brompton Cementry, unbelievably is a wonderful place to visit. Of corse, if visting here, you have to uphold the utmost respect for those who lay at rest. Saturday is the day this is typically packed, with Chelsea fans leaving the trains and walking through West Brompton Cementry as the quickest route to thier stadium, Stamford Bridge. Their are thousands of graves here, and many come to visit their loved ones regualy, but their is much much to this cementry. There are many benches where you can sit and relax, and take in the peaceful views, watching the trees blossom and the petals float across the beautiful clear blue sky. The chirping of the jays is a rememberable sound, a peacefull and tranquil one infact. The occasion treecreeper can be seen adventuring up a large hollow oak, or the ringing of a woodpeckers 'peck' on the tree would always be a pleasure. There has even been part of a movie set here, Johnny English, so this really is a famous place. But the highlight of this place, has got to be the squirells. They are so friendly, so unfearful, so tame. They will chase you down the long concrete path for ages, in the hope for the occasssional peanut. When holding out a hand, they would quite literally beg, going on thier back legs, before ripping the peanut out your hand, just to bury it nearby, and return for more. The cheek! But it is unbelievable how these creatures are not scares or afraid, it is out of this world. All of this, the setting, wildlife, and even the charming people walking by, where a pleasure to meet, and visiting this wonderful place is a nessesity."
