This is Highgate Cemetary, a somewhat exclusive cemetary in Hampstead. To actually get in to see the grave, you have to pay.

The tomb is owned by the Marx Grave Trust.[19][a] The Friends of Highgate Cemetery Trust, which owns the cemetery, charges an entrance fee to the cemetery to cover the costs of upkeep and maintenance; this has generated some controversy.[22][23] Marx's grave is among the most visited sites at Highgate and has been described as "one of the most recognisable graves in the world".[24]
