Brompton Cemetery

Brompton Cemetery is one of the finest Victorian cemeteries in the UK. It is located at the south - west part of London and it is managed by 'The Royal Parks'. It was opened in 1840 and was established by the Act of Parliament. Now, people use it more as a public park, then a cemetery.
The cemetery is featured in many films, including the James Bond movie: Golden Eye, The Wisdom of Crocodiles and Johnny English.
It was featured in the new Sherlock Holmes movie as the location of Lord Blackmore's Tomb.
During the filming of Golden Eye, the exterior of the cemetery's chapel was portrayed St. Petersburg Church, where Natalya, played by Isabelle Scorupco, hides from the evil organisation, Janus.
