...begins with a walk through Crystal Palace Park. The entrance directly opposite my road is titled as above, which always makes me smile when I see it. Note, I had the lenses in this day!Crystal Palace Park is truly a beautiful part of London and I cannot imagine why I never visited here before.
The lakes are small but terribly pretty and there is plenty of room to simply chill out with just the sound of the geese and trickle of a waterfall to disturb you.
Perhaps the biggest thrill of all are the dinosaurs, which must send kids into a frenzy when they see them for the first time. I know I fell in love with them when I used to see them from the Crystal Palace train.
Of course, for me the best thing in Crystal Palace Park is the National Sports Centre. An ode to Seventies architectural design, it has recently been undergoing a refurb that thankfully, doesn't ruin the fabric of the building. Today was some sort of big Triathlon Day and hundreds of people seemed to be taking part. I, on the other hand, was heading to Clapham Junction, extremely surprised not to be nursing a hangover, to meet Sean and take the train to Brighton.
