Saturday: A Trip to Kensal Green Cemetery

Yesterday myself and The Duke went to Kensal Green Cemetery in north west London.  It was an interesting trip as both of us didn't really know the area particularly well.  It was a lovely day and we were able to take a few photographs, although we didn't spot anybody well-known's grave, which was a shame.

I thought that the Reform Memorial was very interested and included such people as Arnold Toynbee.

Being located in an urban area, there was a lovely view of the nearby gasometers.

This looks like a shed constructed from marble.  Excellent.  I imagine that they're not readily available in B&Q, well maybe in the Superstores? 

Finally, we travelled via a #18 bus (through such sights as Little Venice and The Westway) and foot to a pub called The King's Head which was near Marylebone.  It had some interesting decor which included a series of Royal Portraits on the walls and indeed in the high flush toilet(!)  Two upper middle-class women, whom I'd guesstimate as being mother and daughter turned up at 2:10pm and duly complained about the closure of the upstairs restaurant, the barmaid's strong eastern European accent and the paucity of portions.  Thank goodness that such people still exist in this day and age.  What a treat for us Britons.  God Bless The Queen!
