Highgate Society

Andrew Marvell, the seventeenth-century poet, satirist, wit and Member of Parliament, spent most of his adult life in Highgate. His cottage, which was one of the buildings demolished to make Waterlow Park, was on Highgate Hill, just up from the entrance to Lauderdale House. A new plaque, paid for by the Highgate Society, was unveiled by the Mayor of Camden on Thursday 8 October.

We had a great tidy up event this morning starting from Pond Square. Quite a lot of long-term rubbish behind bushes meant we were able to fill a lot of bags. Thanks to everyone for the help.

The Highgate Society’s monthly litter pick took place around the area of The Park, just off North Hill. Veolia’s van turned up just as we were finishing and collected our rubbish straight away. We found three dumped number plates which will be reported to the police.
