The West side is a bit precarious but it is well worth it.

I have people buried in Highgate some in the East and some in the West.

I was born right next door in Whittington Hospital.

I found youtube videos

I remember that the Cemetery (at least the part we visited) wasn't open to the general public, Kate. We paid a small fee, I think, nothing much. We already had the grave details and a photo of the grave. My great-grandmother and her sister were both buried in 1933. We were lucky that our grave is very close to the entrance and also close to the peripheral railings by the road.

They were very helpful because they had to clear away a lot of undergrowth. I really should go back because there was a tree causing a lot of damage.

Can anyone point me to where the square number is on Deceased Online? I have a grave ref of /9935 but can't see any reference to the square number?

Lindsay, I had two choices to pay to view: "Grave details and 2 other burials", and "Burial register scan". The "Grave details" one had a ref similar to the one you have and the "Burial register scan" had number and square.

Two of my g-grandmother's cousins are apparently buried with someone who seems to have no connection to the family. Find a Grave has a photo of the other person's gravestone and the other two are not mentioned on it. Wonder whether her grave number could be mistranscribed? I found some trees on ancestry which she appears on and contacted one of the tree owners to ask whether they know of any connection.

I have paid to view the other person's burial register entry, and her grave number was mistranscribed. The FAQ's say I can email them to get it corrected, but I wonder whether they will refund me the £2?

Now may not be the time to search: the site seems to have problems.
