A suburban town with character

Explore the late, great Crystal Palace

While the original Crystal Palace burned down in 1936, the Crystal Palace Museum just outside of Beckenham aims to keep the magnificent exhibiton hall's memory alive. Ideal for architecture enthusiasts, the museum displays models of the original Crystal Palaces, as well as remnants and mosaics from the ruins of the magnificent buildings.

Delve deep into the psyche at the Museum of the Mind
