Highgate (/ˈhaɪɡeɪt/ or /ˈhaɪɡᵻt/) is a suburban area of north London at the north-eastern corner of Hampstead Heath, 4.5 miles (7.2 km) north north-west of Charing Cross.
Highgate is one of the most expensive London suburbs in which to live. It has an active conservation body, the Highgate Society, to protect its character.
Until late Victorian times it was a distinct village outside London, sitting astride the main road to the north. The area retains many green expanses including the eastern part of Hampstead Heath, three ancient woods,Waterlow Park and the eastern-facing slopes known as Highgate bowl.
At its centre is Highgate village, a collection of largely Georgian shops, pubs, restaurants and residential streets, interspersed with diverse landmarks such as St Michael's Church and steeple, St. Joseph's Church and its green copper dome, Highgate School (1565), Jacksons Lane arts centre housed in a Grade II listed former church, the Gatehouse Inn dating from 1670 and Berthold Lubetkin's 1930s Highpoint buildings. Highgate also contains the Victorian cemetery in which the Communist philosopher Karl Marx is buried, and many other notable people.
London i/ˈlʌndən/ is the capital and most populous city of England and the United Kingdom. Standing on the River Thames, London has been a major settlement for two millennia. It was founded by the Romans, who named it Londinium. London's ancient core, the City of London, largely retains its 1.12-square-mile (2.9 km2) medieval boundaries and in 2011 had a resident population of 7,375, making it the smallest city in England. Since at least the 19th century, the term London has also referred to the metropolis developed around this core. The bulk of this conurbation forms Greater London, a region of England governed by the Mayor of London and the London Assembly. The conurbation also covers two English counties: the small district of the City of London and the county of Greater London. The latter constitutes the vast majority of London, though historically it was split between Middlesex (a now abolished county), Essex, Surrey, Kent and Hertfordshire.
Highgate Cemetery is a place of burial in north London, England. It is designated Grade I on the Historic England Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in England. It is divided into two parts, named the East and West cemetery. There are approximately 170,000 people buried in around 53,000 graves at Highgate Cemetery. Highgate Cemetery is notable both for some of the people buried there as well as for its de facto status as a nature reserve.
The cemetery is located on both sides of Swain's Lane in Highgate, N6, next to Waterlow Park. The main gate is located just north of Oakshott Avenue. There is another disused gate on Chester Road. The cemetery is in the London Boroughs of Camden, Haringey and Islington. The nearest transport link is Archway tube station.
The cemetery in its original form – the northwestern wooded area – opened in 1839, as part of a plan to provide seven large, modern cemeteries, now known as the "Magnificent Seven", around the outside of central London. The inner-city cemeteries, mostly the graveyards attached to individual churches, had long been unable to cope with the number of burials and were seen as a hazard to health and an undignified way to treat the dead. The initial design was by architect and entrepreneur Stephen Geary.

The Whittington Stone commemorates Dick Whittington (or Sir Richard Whittington) who was from the Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire. Click here for more videos like this: http://joolzguides.com He was born some time in the 1350s and was sent to London to seek his fortune where the streets were said to be paved with gold. He managed to get an apprenticeship as a mercer (or cloth maker). There is a famous fairytale which has been turned into a successful pantomime about how Dick Whittington ran away from his cruel master and then go a job on a ship because his cat was very good at catching rats. Apparently this made him very wealthy and he ended up becoming Mayor of London. However, this is not true. Legend has it that he ran away from his master, Hugh Fitzwarren, and reached Highgate...

Jagman:
My friends we are gathered to celebrate
The shadowy side of life
And what better setting than here
Bathed in the moon’s brooding light
My friends enjoy the festivities
Dance like there’s fire at your feet
I wish I could share this night with you all
But I have a quest to complete
I search for an answer to mysteries
Far beyond power and wealth
And soon you will witness the fruit of my dreams
Even greater than life itself
Be patient my friends, I’ll return
Be patient my friends, I’ll return
Carpe Noctem… Seize the night
Amelia:
By reading the curves and the lines on your palm
I know what the future will bring
The answers to all of the questions you dread
And the cost of your virtues and sins
Your head, your heart, your house, your land
Is drawn in paths across your hand
Amelia & Chorus:
Don’t run away…don’t run away
Let us uncover your fate
Amelia:
The intricate Web of God’s glorious plan
Is laid out and clear to my eyes
Just trust in my readings and I will reveal
How the map of your destiny lies
Female Chorus:
Show us, show us what is to be
Show us, show us what do you see
Male Chorus:
Unleash your muse, set light to the fuse
Reveal who will win
Full Chorus:
Expose who is destined to lose
Amelia:
A journey of length lies in store for you sir
It will lead to the place of your dreams
Your lifeline is long but your luck not so strong
Your wife is not all that she seems
Your head, your heart, your house, your land
Is drawn in paths across your hand
Amelia & Chorus:
Don’t run away…don’t run away
Let us uncover your fate
Gardelle:
Look for the angel
Eva:
Search for the harp
Gardelle, Eva & King:
Time is slipping away
King:
The moon is full
Gardelle, Eva & King:
We must follow the signs to the grave
Gardelle:
Hope is so fragile
Eva:
Only once chance
Gardelle, Eva & King:
We must not let it fade
King:
The moon is full
Gardelle, Eva & King:
We must follow the signs to the grave
Amelia:
The clues are as plain as the nose on your face
You can see them yourself if you look
Your future is etched on the palm of your hand
It is here like a vast open book
Your head, your heart, your house, your land
Is drawn in paths across your hand
Amelia & Chorus:
Don’t run away…don’t run away
Don’t run away…don’t run away
Gardelle:
I will watch over this reveling crowd
You go and find this Skull in the ground
Eva: I see it…it’s over there!
Gardelle:
Get to it fast, there are too many eyes
Someone is bound to see through our disguise
King & Eva:
Here she stands, this marble angel
Harnessing the brightness of the moon
Eva: It’s gone…the Skull has been taken!
King: We were too late. Jagman was here first.
Eva: So, what is left for us to do now?
King: There is still one more artefact to acquire. We must travel to the German Confederation. We can still prevent the Anzeray resurrection, but we have to leave…immediately!
Chorus:
Carpe Noctem…Carpe Noctem
Seize the night – To hell with the consequence
Carpe Noctem – Carpe Noctem
Seize the night – Embrace the experience
Gardelle: It’s time for us to go
Amelia: I have not found Jagman yet!
Gardelle: He has already fled this place, he is long gone
Amelia: No!
The road to enlightenment shows us the way
To insight beyond our beliefs
Amelia & Chorus:
We follow the signs without fear or dismay
For something that makes us complete
Your head, your heart, your house, your land
Is drawn in paths across your hand
Amelia & Chorus:
Don’t run away…don’t run away
Let us uncover your fate
