十字骨墓地坐落于伦敦南部一条肮脏阴暗的街道，在墓地中长眠的中世纪妓女被一再利用却得不到任何关爱;但是如今她们的坟墓却成为了一个不大不小的旅游景点。被视为不圣洁的墓地大门虽然已经锈迹斑斑，但现在却被多彩的羽毛，小饰品以及彩带装点着。最虔诚的一批许愿者，正致力于申请将这片墓地作为历史遗迹保护起来，他们每月都会来守夜一次，在墓地旁吟唱圣歌以纪念这群故去的放逐者们。 <span

拥有这片墓地的伦敦交通局计划重新开发这片区域。伦敦最繁华地段的土地以每平方英尺1600英镑的价格跻身于世界上最昂贵的土地之列。然而为了安抚这群守夜人，伦敦交通局表示施工将不会扰乱这片墓地的清静。 <span word="Bringing">Bringing</span> <span word="up">up</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span

一般来说，开发商们想挖掘的每一具遗骸都必须获得相应的许可证。但是有时在大型的基建项目中也会大批量地进行授权。伦敦横贯铁路是一条横贯首都伦敦并价值150亿英镑的铁路联络线，在它建设期间就曾被议会特别允许移除施工路途中的每一具遗骸。也就是说，至今已经有超过300具遗骸从靠近利物浦大街的中世纪医院的地下挖掘出来，并被重新埋葬集体坟墓之中。等到这项项目竣工之时，会有成千上万的老伦敦人的遗骸被重新安放。
