Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace sits on a hill at the junction of five boroughs, which gives it a slightly ungoverned, independent feel. The triangle area at the top has a good concentration of independent restaurants, bars and shops. Crystal Palace Park is large and slightly run down but has the dinosaurs, a maze, and a skate park. The Saturday food market is popular. Housing is mainly Victorian terraces, many on steep hills. Crystal Palace station connects to Overground and Southern services, while the buses run in every direction. It attracts creative types, young families, and people who like living somewhere with actual personality. The Antenna and other local venues keep a live music scene going.
