You might not expect the Father of Communism to be buried in capitalist London, but Karl Marx's final resting place is in Highgate Cemetery. Whatever your political leanings, Highgate Cemetery is certainly worth a visit for its mossy, decaying atmosphere. And it's not only home to the dead: a vampire and several ghosts are said to roam the graveyard.

Praise for 24 Hours London
If I am ever stuck for something to do in London at 4 am then this is the book I would turn to.
-- Scott Pack, The Friday Project
As travel guides go, this one is so user friendly, I'm surprised it can't pour me a drink too.
-- Bill Lumley, The Reluctant Traveller
Catering to everyone from tourists to foodies, shopaholics and spa addicts, this dynamic guide is packed full of well-known and totally unusual things to do in London.
-- Toni Hargis, Author of Rules, Britannia; An Insider's Guide to Life in the United Kingdom (St. Martin's Press)
24 Hours London practically demands to be read. Marsha’s writing is succinct, informative and entertaining and the temptation to read ‘just one more hours worth’ is hard to resist.
-- Michael Harling, Author of Postcards from Across the Pond: Dispatches from an Accidental Expat

8 a.m. - Graves for Geese
Sounds a strange combination, but at Cross Bones Graveyard you'll find the unconsecrated burial ground for the 'Winchester Geese' -- women who worked as prostitutes, licensed by the Bishop of Winchester. Later used for paupers, the graveyard became a frequent target for body-snatchers looking for specimens for anatomy classes at nearby Guy's Hospital. It finally closed to new bodies in 1853 and the dead rested in relative peace until the 1990s, when construction for the Jubilee Lines unearthed their remains.
