I went there in March of this year on a vacation to London. It was a treat, because they restore one gravestone a year (as funding allows), and this year is John Owen. It just so happened that I was there on the day that they had the top of his box removed for repairs. It didn't make for a great picture, but it was still pretty cool. The groundskeepers don't like you going behind the gates into the actual graveyard, but if you ask they will gladly escort you to the graves for a quick picture. I found Owen, Gill and of course Bunyan without any help (he's out in the middle, haha), but it took awhile to find Watts. The groundskeeper helped though.
