- A pictorial tour of Brompton Victorian Cemetery in Chelsea, London- set to the music of Radiohead.It has featured in a number of films, including The Wisdom of Crocodiles Crush and "Johnny English." Beatrix Potter who lived in The Boltons nearby, took the names of many of her animal characters from tombstones in the cemetery and it is said that Mr McGregor's walled garden was based on the colonnades. Names on headstones included Mr Nutkins, Mr McGregor, a Tod (with that unusual single 'd' spelling), Jeremiah Fisher, Tommy Brock - and even a Peter Rabbett. Famous residents include Emily Pankhurst and the founder of Chelsea FC. Sorry Chelsea supporters- the name is not Mears but hey, I am West Ham so who cares?
