After walking around the lake in Crystal Palace Park, we walked through the next half of the park, where once the Crystal Palace itself stood. The foundations and some of the walls of the building can still be seen but the rest of the building was totally destroyed by fire in December 1936. It is worth spending an hour or so exploring the site.
The Crystal Palace was designed by Sir Joseph Paxton. You can see his statue near the stadium.
