Crystal Palace Park sits on the ridge in south London where Joseph Paxton’s giant glass exhibition hall stood until it burned down in 1936, giving the area its name. Its best-known residents now are the Crystal Palace Dinosaurs, life-sized models built in 1854 — the first dinosaur sculptures ever made, and famously wrong in places since no complete skeleton had yet been found. The park is free and open every day, run by the Crystal Palace Park Trust with Bromley council, and the Capital Ring path runs along its edge. Crystal Palace station is right by the main gate.
