Crossbones cemetery IMG_1030
A garden in the making: an estimated 15,000 people, mostly prostitutes and poor people, are buried in a small patch of land a stone's throw from London Bridge. Not so long ago, Transport for London wanted to get its hands on the plot; now it's becoming a quirky green space to enjoy and remember. On the railings facing the street, people have put up ribbons and home-made votives to remember those long dead, and friends and relatives lost more recently too.
