Crystal Palace Park is a bit of an unpolished gem. Once home to the famous palace, it’s ridden with its ruins, rolling green hills, a few fishing lakes, cafés, a cool maze and petting farm for the kids and one hideous transmitter, affectionately dubbed ‘la tour de Crystal Palace’ by locals. From vintage car shows to gigs, funfairs to dreamy firework displays, there's always lots going on in the park, so always be on the lookout for the next quirky shindig. If you only see one thing though, make sure it’s the dinos.
