Crystal Palace

Up Dinosaurs Dinosaurs Don't Die

Crystal Palace is in the London Borough of Bromley. It is so named as the major structure from the 1851 Great Exhibition in Hyde Park was moved in 1854 to Sydenham Hill. The structure was destroyed by fire on November 30, 1936.  BBC

.... because I'd heard about the Dinosaur models ...... .... from reading the book "Dinosaurs Don't Die"
  On September 17, 2016 (as part of Openhouse London) I visited the Crystal Palace Subway which linked the High Level Station to the park for 1st Class rail passengers.
