![]() 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...... 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..... |
