Crossbones Graveyard
This is the most honest memorial in London. It doesn't pretend the people buried here were anything other than what they were, or that the city treated them fairly.
A medieval outcast cemetery for Southwark's 'Winchester Geese' — sex workers licensed by the Bishop of Winchester. Rediscovered during Jubilee Line extension work in 1996.
