later. Rail services gradually declined, and for a period
in the 1960s and 1970s there were plans to construct an
urban motorway through the area as part of the London
Ringways plan. More recently, rail travel has seen a
resurgence in Crystal Palace, with rising passenger numbers, additional London Overground services stopping at
the station, a major station redevelopment in 2012 and
proposals to extend the Croydon Tramlink service to the
railway and bus stations.

Crystal Palace is a residential area in south London, England, within the London Boroughs of Bromley,
Croydon, Lambeth, Southwark and Lewisham. It is
named after the former local landmark, the Crystal
Palace,[1] which stood in the area from 1854 to 1936. The
area is located approximately eight miles (13 km) south
east of Charing Cross and includes one of the highest
points in London, at 367 feet (112 m),[2] offering views
over the capital. The area has no defined boundaries and
straddles the convergence of five London boroughs and
three postal districts, although an electoral ward named
Crystal Palace and Crystal Palace Park are entirely contained within the London Borough of Bromley. It is contiguous with Anerley, Dulwich Wood, Gipsy Hill, Penge,
South Norwood, Sydenham and Upper Norwood.
1 History
The ridge and the historic oak tree known as The Vicars Oak (located at the present-day crossroads of the
A212 Church Road and A214 Westow Hill) were used
to mark parish boundaries.[3] This has led to the Crystal
Palace area straddling the boundaries of five London Boroughs; Bromley, Croydon, Lambeth,[4] Southwark and
Lewisham. The area also straddles three postcode districts: SE19, SE20, and SE26. The ancient boundary between Surrey and Kent passes through the area and from
1889 to 1965 the area lay on the south eastern boundary
of the County of London. It included parts of Kent and
Surrey until 1889 and then parts of Kent, London and
Surrey between 1889 and 1965.[5][6]
The district was a natural oak forest until development
began in the 19th century, and before the arrival of the
Crystal Palace the area was known as Sydenham Hill.
The Norwood Ridge and an historic oak tree were used
to mark parish boundaries. Today, the area is represented by three different parliamentary constituencies,
four London Assembly constituencies and fourteen local
authority councillors. After the Crystal Palace burned
down in 1936, the site of the building and its grounds
became Crystal Palace Park, which is the location of
the National Sports Centre, containing an athletics track,
stadium and other sports facilities. Crystal Palace Park
has also been the setting for a number of concerts and
films, including scenes from The Italian Job and The Pleasure Garden. Two television transmitter masts make the
district a landmark location, visible from many parts of
Greater London. Local landmarks include the Crystal
Palace Triangle, a shopping district made up of three
streets forming a triangle; Westow Park, a smaller park
that lies off the triangle to the south west of Crystal Palace
Park; and the Stambourne Woodland Walk.
For centuries the area was occupied by the Great North
Wood, an extensive area of natural oak forest that formed
a wilderness close to the southern edge of the then expanding city of London. The forest was a popular area
for Londoners’ recreation right up to the 19th century,
when it began to be built over.[3] It was also a home of
Gypsies, with some local street names and pubs recording the link.[3] The area still retains vestiges of woodland.
The third quarter of the 19th Century brought the Crystal
Palace and the railways.
1.1 The Crystal Palace
Main article: The Crystal Palace
A pneumatic railway was briefly trialled in the area in
1864. Once the railways had arrived, Crystal Palace was
eventually served by two railway stations, the high level
and low level stations, built to handle the volume of passengers visiting the Crystal Palace. After the palace was
destroyed by fire, and with railway travel declining in the
UK more generally, passenger numbers fell and the high
level station was closed in 1954 and demolished 7 years
The Crystal Palace was a cast-iron and glass building originally erected in Hyde Park to house the Great Exhibition of 1851. Following the success of the exhibition,
the palace was moved and reconstructed in 1854 in a
modified and enlarged form in the grounds of the Penge
Place estate at Sydenham Hill. The buildings housed the

Sydenham Hill is one of the highest locations in London; 109 metres (357 ft) above sea level (spot height
on Ordnance Survey Map); and the size of the palace
and prominence of the site made it easy to identify from
much of London. This led to the residential area around
the building becoming known as Crystal Palace instead
of Sydenham Hill. The palace was destroyed by fire on
30 November 1936 and the site of the building and its
grounds is now known as Crystal Palace Park.

Crystal Palace still retains much of its Victorian architecture, although housing styles are mixed, including Victorian terraces, mid-war terraces and blocks of modern
flats. Crystal Palace Park is surrounded by grand Victorian villas, many of which have been converted into flats
and apartments.

Landmarks
Crystal Palace Triangle
Television transmission has been taking place from Crystal Palace since at least the 1930s[14] and two TV
transmitter towers — Crystal Palace Transmitter – 640
feet (200 m) tall — and Croydon Transmitter – 500 feet
(150 m) tall — stand on the hill at Upper Norwood, making the district a landmark location visible from many
parts of the London area. The towers may appear similar in height and design, but the Crystal Palace mast,
constructed in 1956, stands on a slightly higher elevation.
The current Croydon tower was built in 1962.

The “Crystal Palace Triangle”, formed by Westow Street,
Westow Hill and Church Road, has a number of restaurants and several independent shops, as well as an indoor

was given to the London Borough of Bromley.[16] Crystal
Palace railway station is located by the park, as is the

Arthur Conan Doyle was active in the area between 1891
and 1894. Although he lived in nearby South Norwood he
visited the Crystal Palace and Upper Norwood area regularly in connection with the Upper Norwood Literary and
Scientific Society. The Foresters Hall on Westow Street
was then known as the Welcome Hall (or just Welcome)

until 1905 that the current Crystal Palace F.C. club was
re-formed. The club played on the grounds of The Crystal Palace, on what is now the site of the National Sports
Centre, until it moved to Selhurt in 1918. The grounds
also hosted the FA Cup Final between 1895 and 1914.
Despite the move to Selhurst, the club retained the Crystal Palace name, which is in use to the present day.[45]

Stadium. This led to Crystal Palace F.C. submitting plans
to rebuild the stadium as a 40,000 capacity football stadium, without the running track.
A motor racing circuit was opened around the Park in
1927 and the remains of the track now make up some of
the access roads around the park. The track was extended
to two miles (3.2 km) in 1936, before being taken over
by the Ministry of Defence at the start of World War II.
Race meetings resumed in 1953, and the circuit hosted a
range of international racing events, continuing until the
last races in 1974.

Crystal Palace contains three primary schools, Paxton
Primary School, Rockmount Primary School and All

in Animal Care, Arboriculture and Countryside, Horticulture and Landscaping and Garden Design along with
other short courses.[48]
Athletics stadium at the National Sports Centre.
In 1964, a 15,500 seater athletics stadium and sports centre was built on the site of the football grounds in Crystal Palace Park. The athletics stadium was known as
the National Sports Centre and between 1999 and 2012
hosted the London Athletics Grand Prix among other international athletics meetings. The Crystal Palace triathletes club is also based here.[46] Since the London 2012
Olympics, the status of the stadium and aquatics centre
as the main facilities for their sports in London has been

In 2013, due to a shortage of primary school places in
both Crystal Palace[49] and London,[50] proposals to open
a new primary school by September 2015 were put forward, with plans submitted to the Department for Education in January 2014.[51] The proposals were approved
as part of wave 6 of the Free Schools Programme and
the school is scheduled to open in September 2015. As
of October 2014, the school is considering three possible
building configurations – with the Greater London Authority running a public consultation on each option – all
of which would involve demolishing one of the existing
seated stands around the athletics track at the National
Sports Centre.[52][53]

The area is served by the A212, A214, A234 and A2199
roads. The roads that make up the triangle (Westow Hill,
Westow Street and Church Road) form part of a one-way
system and are in a 24-hour controlled parking and loading zone. There is a coach park inside Crystal Palace

repairs were made and the line was reopened, the requirement for reconstruction work and the drop in traffic led to
the decision to close the station and branch line in 1954,
followed by the demolition of the station in 1961. Despite
the demolition, a Grade II listed subway remains under
Crystal Palace Parade.[58] The Crystal Palace pneumatic
railway was also built in Crystal Palace circa 1864.
The area would have been affected by the cancelled
London Ringways motorway plans, as one of the radial
routes connecting the South Cross Route to Ringway 2
(the South Cross Route to Parkway D Radial) would have
run through a part of Crystal Palace Park, following the
railway line.[54]
8.1.1
Cycle routes
London Cycle Network routes 23 and 27 travel through
Crystal Palace. Route 27 runs from Anerley Hill through
part of Crystal Palace Park towards Bromley and route 23
through the Crystal Palace triangle to connect to Borough
and Croydon.[55]

8.2
Rail
The low level station remained open, although passenger
numbers at that station also fell after the fire of 1936 and
many services were diverted to serve London-Croydon
routes instead of the Outer South London Line. Rail
travel was in decline across the UK in the 1960s and
1970s when the Beeching Axe was imposed. During the
1970s, two outer platforms used by terminating trains
were abandoned and the third rail was removed.
More recently rail travel at the station has seen a resurgence and new services have started running. Passenger
numbers increased each year between 2004 and 2013.[59]
Since May 2010, the station has served the East London
Line branch of the London Overground, connecting with
the Docklands and Shoreditch. In 2011 services were
extended to Highbury and Islington.[60] The station underwent redevelopment in 2012, which brought the origCrystal Palace Station, showing the now demolished extension.
