Crystal Palace is a good place for a daytrip as it has a large
park with victorian life size fibreglass dinosaurs!
This is where the original "Crystal Palace" was housed until it
burnt down.For some beautiful pictures of the park take a look at this bbc site .http://www.bbc.co.uk/london/in_pictures/360_degree/crystal_palace/index.shtml Now there is a national sports centre there with an olympic sized swimming pool. There are also lots of nice cafes, pubs and restaurants in the "triangle" - the one way system which is also the main three streets of village-like Crystal Palace. Like most villages you will find a little eighties development housing a Sainsburys, Blockbusters and Pizza Hut.I mention this only because it is behind the Pizza Hut parking facility that our market resides.

Directions:
The closest train station is Crystal Palace which has regular services from Victoria or London Bridge then you walk up the hill where the main street begins......

This is Westow Hill where there WAS a McDonalds that closed down !! Walk down this street until you have to cross a road, here you turn left onto Westow Street you will see Pizza Hut on a corner and there you turn right onto Haynes Lane.
If you are a bus person , you are also in luck as crystal palace has a big bus station. Busses from Brixton
(which is the nearest tube) are 432 or 3 , 417 comes from Streatham, 249 from Balham, 227 from Beckenham, 157 from Croydon, 363 from Elephant and Castle or Peckham. The number 3 comes all the way from Oxford Circus, through Trafalgar Square and Kennington.
If you are driving then take an A-Z . The one way system will bring you round to us anyway and there is parking space in the yard but not on Saturdays as we have a van selling cheese out there and hopefully more to come.....
