Crystal Palace Park in South London is well known for its dinosaurs, athletics, TV broadcast mast, and as the site of the Crystal Palace that burnt down in 1936. But the football club is miles away!
There is a fine Victorian railway station next to the park.

Some local schoolchildren did a dinosaur mural, but it has since been painted over.
There is not much remaining of the Crystal Palace building except the open space and a few peripheral items.
Here is Mooch sitting with one of the sphinxes.

The open air music stage.
There is a maze, but Mooch was worried about getting lost so he did not go in.
There used to be motor car racing in the park, but only
special events and the
Mini London to Brighton run now happen. Some of the movie
Rush was filmed here. Here's Mooch sitting on part of the 'infield' track.
This is a bust sculpture of Sir Joseph Paxton who designed The Crystal Palace.
