Dracula and St. John-at-Hampstead’s Graveyard, London:

https://www.traveldarkly.com/dracula-and-st-john-at-hampsteads-graveyard-london/

Nestled between Hampstead’s genteel brick houses is St. John-at-Hampstead’s graveyard, thought
to have inspired scenes in Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1897). The graves are split into two parts either
side of the road, and although it’s not a very big area you can see how Stoker might have imagined
its crooked ivy-covered tombstones and dark shaded corners when he was writing about Lucy
Westenra’s night-time activities. The doomed Lucy is drained of her blood by Dracula and turned
into a vampire. She rises from her grave at night to feed upon children she finds on Hampstead
Heath. In the story Dr. Van Helsing and Dr. Seward eat at Jack Straw’s Castle pub before they go to
investigate Lucy Westenra’s tomb. In the story Dr. Van Helsing and Dr. Seward eat at Jack Straw’s
