Although the Crystal Palace - first erected in Hyde Park and moved here in 1854 - is long gone, destroyed by fire in 1936, Crystal Palace Park and its 200 acres remain to be enjoyed. The park is home to the National Sports Centre and Crystal Palace Bowl, a sports stadium which plays host to live music concerts - Coldplay is among the bands who've played here - as well as sporting events. The park includes plenty of green space, a cafe, farm and, a highlight for children, dinosaur island. See if your kids can find the five dinosaur sculptures, created by Professor Richard Owen in 1852 and restored in 2003, hiding among the trees around the lake. There's Iguanodon, Hylaeosaurus and, in the trees you might just make out Pterodactylus.
