That’s right, it’s the rad as hell/heaven photo on the back of the first edition (and possibly some of the later ones?) of Good Omens. I don’t know about you, but I’ve loved it since the first time I came across it – and once I found out that it was taken in London, well… the spot was immediately on my to-find list.
Fast forward some time later, and cayra, maltedmilkchocolate, ahostofangels and myself decided to go on a Good Omens-themed walkabout. First stop, one Kensal Green Cemetery. It took a bit of wandering around, but sure enough, we eventually tracked it down!
The entrance is bricked up now, but otherwise, it still looks much like it did some 25-odd years ago (if anything, the walls are a bit cleaner). It all was slightly surreal, and also intensely satisfying. An afternoon well spent in my books 🙂
(Photo taken by cayra, featuring maltedmilkchocolate as my favourite Anathema cosplay to date, and yours truly as Crowley. We later moved on to St James’ Park, where we were mobbed by a flock of hungry pigeons. We survived unscathed, albeit with slightly diminished snack supplies.)
