Crossbones Graveyard is a unique place of peace and tranquillity nestled in the heart of Bankside and surrounded by new developments. It holds a deep cultural, historical and spiritual significance as it tells the history of London as seen from the bottom up.

As well as holding the mortal remains of 15,000 women, children and men, it also carries the memory of the Winchester Geese, the women who worked in the brothels and "stews" of the medieval Liberty of the Clink. Licensed by the Church to ply their prostitute trade but denied a Christian burial.

 Very Short Tours, only one hour, starting Over There (outside the Gates) and concluding Over 'Ere (inside the Garden).
