On the 30th, my #Walktober was to the old #London #Necropolis #railway station, where thousands of dead were sent by train to Brookwood Cemetery. They've recently revealed their name again - alas not for a re-opening, but I think for a conversion to fancy flats. And then I went to see some scary #StreetArt faces underneath #Waterloo itself (alas no clear artist's signature) #photography #History #halloween #monsters #monsterdon
