Admission
Highgate Cemetery sells timed day tickets and separately bookable tours through its official ticketing portal. Prices vary by East Cemetery access versus guided tours such as West Cemetery or highlights tours, so the row is kept as ticketed but price-variable rather than flattened to one number.
