"Crystal Palace owes its name to the glass palace built for the Great Exhibition of 1851, which was held in Hyde Park. The structure was dismantled and moved to what is now known as Crystal Palace Park, but following a fire in 1936, it was unfortunately destroyed."Explore SE19
What locals say about SE19
“In the chaos of the city, the area has the charm of a village, the chaos of the city, the greenery associated with England, eclectic mix of cultures and the most fabulous view of the London skyline”

“For me, the best part of living in Upper Nor wood is walking in the recreation ground after the grass has been mowed and the shrubs pruned.”

The Incident Room
It is the late 1970s, and the hunt for the Yorkshire Ripper has the nation on edge. On stage, the claustrophobic Incident Room becomes a pressure cooker of mistakes, exhaustion, and relentless workload, where tempers flare and dark humour cuts through the chaos. First performed in 2019, and hailed by The Guardian as 'beautifully crafted', Olivia Hirst and David Byrnes play offers a tense and compelling glimpse behind the headlines. Content warning: although no scenes of violence are depicted, due to the subject matter this production is not suitable for those under 16. Please note that performances start at 7.30pm (doors open 7pm).Read more
