Question of the week: What's one of your favourite non-touristy things to do in London? "This time of year I'd say heading south of the river to go blackberrying in Nunhead Cemetery.
Out in the suburbs, Nunhead is one of the great Victorian cemeteries, and although there are fewer famous burials there than at Highgate, it's packed with beautiful funerary sculptures, has a lovely Victorian-Gothic chapel and some sad stories to tell as you read the memorial stones. Much of it is also romantically overgrown with ivy and, more to the point, brambles. Take a couple of lunch boxes, and stock up on the most delicious free wild food!"
