Outing to Abney Park

[Ian Stedman]

Hi,

I don't have morbid curiosity but after the 'success' of Highgate (and the hill climb), interest was expressed in another of the ‘Magnificent Seven’ garden cemeteries of London. Abney park, https://abneypark.org/ is in Stoke Newington and is free to enter. The easiest route here is a train to London bridge station, then a 30 minute bus ride to Stoke Newington High street. Using London Overground is complicated to get there.

I'm thinking this would suit an Autumn/Winter setting.  I've checked trains/TFL engineering to the end of the year and have a few potential dates, you can vote for your preferred options in the poll below.

Sunday 5th November,
Saturday 25th November,
Sunday 26th November,
Saturday 3rd December,
Sunday 17th December,

I appreciate when I tried to arrange the trip to Highgate, we re-scheduled multiple times due to weather and train strikes, I expect similar for this.

What date for the next magnificent seven?

You can select up to 5 options.

Sunday 5th November

Saturday 25th November,

Sunday 26th November,

Saturday 3rd December

Sunday 17th December

Hi Ian

Just read this article in today's Times which could be a good subject for London outing, it mentions a website to add new finds and assume to check existing.

Doubt if can be concluded before Haloween though

Sorry but had to add this from 5 years ago with some AI etc.

Nice one...you could have made the ghost transparent for more realism.
