Every time we visit the Science Museum, the Natural History Museum or the V&A, we’re plugging into the complex that was inspired and partly funded by the Great Exhibition. Here's the plaque commemorating the site…
Staged in Hyde Park, the lease on the site was a short one, and Joseph Paxton’s groundbreaking pre-fabricated structure – the famous “Crystal Palace” made with approximately 293,000 panes of glass – was moved to Upper Sydenham in 1854.
A London Walk costs £10 – £8 concession. To join a London Walk, simply meet your guide at the designated tube station at the appointed time. Details of all London Walks can be found at www.walks.com.
