See www. Highgate Cemetery was such a success that the East side was opened in It was also run by the London Cemetery Company. When Karl Marx was buried here the cemetery was a private profit-making commercial operation. However, as it filled up it became uneconomic as a private concern, and was rescued by the Friends of Highgate Cemetery.
Burials have continued here since the Friends took over in and the cemetery continues to serve the needs of North London. All pupils under 18 years must be accompanied by an adult, with a minimum ratio of 1 adult to ten pupils.

It has had paint daubed all over it. It has had people chanting at it, the bronze bust on the top has been dragged off with ropes, and there was even a pipe bomb set off in January that damaged the front face of it.
