Bunhill Fields
-
In a city of churchyards, Bunhill Fields is unusual in being a purpose-built graveyard. It holds the graves of several famous “dissenters” – Jonathan Swift, Daniel Defoe, John Bunyan, George Fox, William Blake—and is also a pleasantly relaxing enclave in the busy city.
Bunhill Fields sits on the northern edge of the City of London, opposite Wesley’s house and museum. Although it is not close to any of the City’s major tourist attractions (St. Paul’s, the Tower of London, the Museum of London, the Monument), its small quota of celebrity graves makes it a minor attraction in itself. It is also a pleasant, leafy, and quiet place to escape from the noise of the city.
