Crystal Palace Local Information

Crystal Palace lies within the London borough of Bromley, and is close to where the original Crystal Palace was located between 1854 and 1936. Crystal Palace Park is also found here, as are two television transmitter towers, visible from many parts of London. The Crystal Palace transmitter was built in 1950, and stands slightly uphill from the second mast, the Croydon Transmitter, which was built in 1962.

Crystal palace itself borders five boroughs, Bromley, Croydon, Southwark, Lewisham and Lambeth, and three postcodes. For many hundreds of years, Crystal Palace was home to the Great North Wood, and local legend says that Sir Frances Drake had wood cut for his ship (The Golden Hind) from this forest. Even though there still remains a large amount of woodland, the forest began to dwindle with ever-increasing development in the 1800s. Prior to that, it was home to Gypsies, and this is reflected in many street and pub names in the district.

The Crystal Palace was a building originally located in Hyde Park, to house the Great Exhibition of 1851. It was moved to what is now known as Upper Norwood, where it stood from 1854 to 1936, when fire consumed it. It is said that the flames could be seen for miles as it lit up the night sky. It was truly the end of an era.
