Reputed to be the largest unconsecrated cemetery in Europe, Bunhill Fields is the last resting place for an estimated 120,000 bodies, including those of John Bunyan, Daniel Defoe, William Blake and George Fox. Today, it is a popular place for office workers to eat their lunchtime sandwiches and enjoy a quiet moment away from the hustle and bustle of the surrounding City.
