After 150 years of life surrounded by gravestones, London's Hardy Tree falls

London tour guide Jack Chesher has walked many people through the history of the Hardy Tree. Named after the Victorian-era writer Thomas Hardy, the lone ash tree is just a short walk from King's Cross station, in St. Pancras Gardens, surrounded by gravestones. It has been celebrated as a symbol of life amid death for over 150 years — but now the famous tree has met its own end.
