Even though I was born just yards from here, I’ve never visited the Crystal Palace Dinosaurs till this trip; they are fascinating 150+ year old sculptures not very accurate by todays science understanding, and rather dilapidated now, though a “friends of” group is trying to maintain and renovate them. At least I’ve finally seen them …








That final view is one of the TV towers at Crystal Palace (I remember being told that we didn’t need a TV antenna when we lived here, because it was so close …)
UPDATE: There’s a recent Smithsonian Magazine article about the dinosaurs, that includes a link to this YouTube video (NOT created by me):
